I observed intermittent errors when running automation script in the lab that is used to prepare a DMA for repeated testing:

Likely due to the following line:
Seems to happen when I manually move view using drag and drop editing from being nested to root?
The value is 2^32-1 which is more than signed Int32 max value.
Is this a software issue ? Are there any fixes available ?
Hi,
This indeed seems to be a software issue that can be reproduced with DataMiner Cube when enabling "drag and drop editing" and dragging the view to the root view.
I would suggest to create a support ticket for this.
I tested it out and did not find a possibility to recover from it. As the screenshot shows that there are only two elements in that view, I would suggest to delete the view, create a new view with the same name and then add the elements again to that view.
Regards,
The value 4294967295 is simply -1 interpreted as a signed 32‑bit integer.
Due to a bug, the value is being written and displayed in Views.xml as an unsigned 32‑bit integer, which is why it appears as that large number instead of -1.
As Laurens mentioned, this error should be reported to our support.
