Issue/Introduction

Using System Alias on a Multi-Branch mapping where each branch is using the same System Alias, trying to add an element and get the following error:

zowe ebg mapping add-element gc893492 SystemAliasWorkEnvOnly --name PROGX1 --type cob --endevor-system EOCF2 --endevor-subsystem FACCC
Command Error: 
System 'EOCF2' not found

 

Get the same error using different System/Subsystem names:

zowe ebg mapping add-element gc893492 SystemAliasWorkEnvOnly --name PROGX1 --type cob --endevor-system EOCF0 --endevor-subsystem FACCC
Command Error:
System 'EOCF0' not found.


zowe ebg mapping add-element gc893492 SystemAliasWorkEnvOnly --name PROGX1 --type cob --endevor-system EOCF --endevor-subsystem FACCC 
Command Error:
System 'EOCF' not found.

 

 

Environment

Release : 18.1

Component : BRIDGE FOR GIT 2.11.0

endevor-bridge-for-git-for-zowe-cli version: 2.5.0 

Resolution

Use git status command to find out which branch is in use - EOCF1-DEV

git status
On branch EOCF1-DEV
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/EOCF1-DEV'.

 

From the mapping.json -  EOCF1-DEV branch maps to System EOCF1 (and not to EOCF0, nor EOCF2).

              {

            "environment": "DEV",

            "name": "EOCF1-DEV",

            "readOnly": false,

            "stageNumber": 1,

            "workEnvironmentOnly": false,

            "systems": [

                {

                    "name": "EOCF1",

                    "alias": "EOCF",

                    "subsystems": [

                        {

                            "name": "FACCC",

                            "filter": {

                                "elements": [],

                                "types": []

                            }

                        },

                        {

                            "name": "FACKC",

                            "filter": {

                                "elements": [],

                                "types": []

                            }

                        }

                    ]

                }

            ]

        }

Trying to add an element in branch EOCF1-DEV from an unrelated System produces the expected error :

 

zowe ebg mapping add-element gc893492 SystemAliasWorkEnvOnly --name CPYB --type copy --endevor-system EOCF2 --endevor-subsystem FACCC
Command Error:
System 'EOCF2' not found.

 

Adding in branch EOCF1-DEV from the appropriate System works fine

zowe ebg mapping add-element gc893492 SystemAliasWorkEnvOnly --name CPYB --type copy --endevor-system EOCF1 --endevor-subsystem FACCC
