Issue/Introduction

When a device is discovered in VNA it is pushed into PM. In PM itself the device shows its LifeCycleState as active. In ODataQuery it is showing as N/A..

OData Query

Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT INTEGRATIONS

Cause

LifeCycleState  is not persisted attribute, since its value can be changed frequently.  It's value  stored in the iRep.

Resolution

This is fixed in 21.2.2.

To make this attribute available through the open API added a new entity type devicelifestatus that has one to  one relationship with the device.

To get  device life status use  expand operator, look at  the following query:

/odata/api/devices?$expand=devicelifecycle&$select=ID,Name,devicelifecycle/State
