Issue/Introduction

We're trying to setup some EventDisposition EventProcedure which should find models matching a Network_Address (0x12d7f). The actual search value is passed as EventVariable with data type OctetString.

ToIpAddr( ToString() ) as well as various other combinations do not not yield a match. There is a model on the landscape, which does have a matching Network_Address value.

Environment

Spectrum 24.3.x

Spectrum 25.4.x

Cause

As per Engineering´s findings

 

The ToIpAddr() function converts data to the "IP Addr"  type rather than the Internet Address type. Since the Network_Address field is an Internet Address type and the Legacy_Network_Address field is an Agent ID type, the current ToIpAddr() conversion is not working for either field.

Resolution

This will be addressed in a future release such as 25.4.8 and can be tracked under issues resolved under DE183746.
