Issue/Introduction

While using content pack to migrate process code from source environment to target envionrment , it has been observed <OBSAssocs> and <Security> tags in the process gel scripts, causing the gel script to fail in the target envionrment failing with invalid xml error.

Steps to Reproduce: 

  1. Login to Clarity with administrative rights 
  2. Create a process and have a gel script with 
  3. Navigate to Administration --> Content Package 
  4. Create a content package, export the content and import to target envionrment 

Expected Results: The process migrated should be working successfully

Actual Results: The migrated process fails with invalid XML error and upon reviewing the exported jar file it was seen that  <OBSAssocs> and <Security>  tags are missing 

Environment

Release : 16.1.0, 16.1.1

Cause

Content package will discard certain tags which may be environment specific and <OBSAssocs> and <Security> are few of those tags which gets removed from xml xogged content.

Resolution

  • DE68775 and its not a defect, there is a fundamental difference in implementation between how XOG In / Out works , how content packaging and content add-in works, Where XOG in/out will not alter the xml file. However, the content packages will discard certain tags which may be environment specific and <OBSAssocs> and <Security> are few of those tags which gets removed from xml xogged content.
  • So if there are <OBSAssocs> and <Security> needed to be migrated please use the xog and not content packages
