Issue/Introduction

I'm having issues copying profiles from one UIM environment to another using the uimapi / Swagger.

 

When I export a profile using: 

 

And import that exported profile into a different UIM environment:

 

I always get the following error:

 

{

  "status": 500,

  "errorCode": "500",

  "errorMsg": "An error occurred while performing the operation. Please check logs for additional information.",

  "errorDetail": "",

  "timestamp": "2022-03-29T15:36+0000"

}

 

Environment

Release : 20.4

Component : UIM - MON_CONFIG_SERVICE

Cause

Underlying errors that can be ignored using "force". 

Resolution

The QA team have tested this and reviewed the entire process for Export- Import of MCS profiles via uimapi. 

For the import to be successful please use the flag "Force" flag to TRUE  when importing the profile. 

 

This will allow importing the profile without any issue.
