This article explains for steps using which we could permanently change an access port to managed from unmanaged in Smarts IP?
Smarts 10.1.X
You can manage the access ports so that the object will be explicitly managed and the Smarts IP post-processing code will not unmanage it again. This is achieved by putting the following code into your custom post processing file, calling the manage() function with over-write parameter set to True:
START {
..eol
} do {
foreach PortName (getInstances("Port")) {
PortObj = object(PortName);
PortObj->manage();
print("Port state set to Manage ->".PortObj->ManagedState);
}
}
This workaround would be classified as a customization, and hence please evaluate and test this on UAT/Test environment before introducing this on to the Production environment.
