Issue/Introduction

Customer cloned Device in UIM and has forced its rediscovery.  The Device in O2 is appending the new info into an existing Device.

 

Resolution

Need to expire the old Device before Discovering it.

We can use API to set the TTL for required vertices to -1 (expire immediately)

 

1) Run the following to expired the vertex and make sure it gets remove from O2

To expire the vertex (change the externalID and csid appropriately):
POST on https://apmgw.dxi-na1.saas.broadcom.com/tas/graph/store with body:
{
  "ttl" : null,
  "layer" : "INFRASTRUCTURE_UIM",
  "graph" : {
    "vertices" : [ {
      "externalId" : "AACN:V-uim-9a801133-a741-4aa0-9799-XXXXXXXX",
             "attributes" : {
        "endTime" : -1,
        "csId" : "111"
       },
      "endTime" : -1
    } ] ,
    "edges" : [ ]
  }
}

 
2) Confirm in O2 that it got removed 

3) Re-discover the device in UIM
