Issue/Introduction

Q1. After a Group Name containing special character has been modified from the Spectrum side, how to refresh the corresponding existing Inventory Entity attribute in OI to reflect the new Group name.

Q2. How can one delete an Inventory Entity in OI?

Resolution

A1. This can get updated after the full inventory sync from SDP ( based on a full sync interval or SDP restart).

If the attribute is not updated in DXOI, it means we need to check the same attribute in Spectrum on the device whether the GC name changed or not.

if we set <DeleteFilteredItems>true</DeleteFilteredItems> in the SDP ConnectorConfig.xml file, It will delete the stale/filtered inventory from DXOI.
Upgrade to "NetOps 22.3 Monthly Release". To be done in a few weeks

goes to TasConfiguration section:

1. Added below filter tags under TasConfiguration.
<GroupFilterConfiguration>
<GroupFilterValue></GroupFilterValue>
<FilterTypeRegEx>false</FilterTypeRegEx>
<DeleteFilteredItems>false</DeleteFilteredItems>
</GroupFilterConfiguration>

A2. There is no option to delete an entity in OI. Once the TTL expires, entity gets deactivated.
