I try to use the IDP solution to create DCF connections on my element. I see that 3 connections are discovered, which is correct, but for some reason they aren't created.
How can I start investigating what the problem is? Is there a file that contains logging related to this?

Hi Jens,
Unresolved connections in IDP connectivity are the ones for which there is already information but not everything.
This is, IDP was able to map things but some of them are not yet fully resolved
I would suggest you could start by checking if
- All elements involved are reporting connectivity
- For each of the unresolved connections, the remote element is in your list and also reporting the connection in the other direction
- Chassis ID, Port ID and DCF ID are all valid and match in the A-to-B and B-to-A connections

Glad to hear it is working now
But yes, for IDP connectivity, all elements involved must report their information, in order for the solution to have a complete overview, and for that, you need to have a CI Type for them
Problem solved. Wasn’t aware that I now also need CI Types for the remote elements.
