PII tags disappearing from TDM Portal after a Data Model re-scan is performed

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to TDMWeb-4.9.361.0 we started seeing some unexpected behavior for all projects losing their PII tags once a Data Model is updated by doing a re-scan. All tags for all projects are wiped out and missing. This is causing our Testers to lose data for all projects that they are working on. In some instances, we see the re-scan start, but never complete.

Environment

Release : 4.9.1

Component : TDM Web Portal

Cause

The root cause is a legacy design bug exposed in TDMWeb-4.9.361.0, where 4 tables are missing project and tag information.

Resolution

Sustaining Engineering has created a patch containing a fix, which is found in TDMWeb-4.9.383.0.
