Hi Team,
We received a notice while upgrading the system:
- Property CEFD CTOG-250 SNMP_QoS Group with type Service and id 75 uses the same id that is already used by property CEFD CTOG-250 SNMP_Circuit with type Service
Seems like there are not elements or services in the system with ID 75 that the end-user can find
We received the xml file obtained from: c:\Skyline DataMiner\PropertyConfiguration.xml
There we can see two properties sharing the same ID.
For two elements with properties being shared and the same ID, would it be possible to simply change the id of one of them to a number that is not in use?
Would there be a downside to such action being performed on the system if any?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Zain,
The ID tag must be unique in the XML. Otherwise said, it is forbidden that the ID is used multiple times. If you want to manually change things in the XML, please be careful with what you do, and do not forget to trigger syncing.
(easiest way is to go to Cube > System Center > Tools > Synshcronization. Type is File and you copy the filepath in the text field, press 'sync now' button).
This use case (having duplicated DataMiner properties) rang a bell in my mind.
The ID property can be duplicated accidentally in DataMiner if the DataMiner property is already available in the system and when it is configured within a protocol. Then, each time when you restart an element that is based on such protocol, the DataMiner property will be copied.
Fore more info, do check the DEVOPS description of this task.
Hope this helps you further.
Hi Matthias,
Thank you so much for your response!
We have advised the end-user and will wait for an update to see how things played out.
