If a profile and a resource have the same name, and there is attempt to export and re-import it using the 'Reuse Existing Objects' option, import fails with an error.
Import does not work. This represents minimal impact, however, because failure occurs only in the reuse-objects case.
Profile and resource share the same name, for example: access-profile /Common/google and resource-assign /Common/google. Export and import using the 'Reuse Existing Objects' option.
A. Use profile copy instead of import with reuse. B. Perform the following steps: 1) Unpack .conf.tar.gz. 2) Open .conf. 3) Change name of resource and all links to it from /@partition/@name to a unique name, such as @name-123. 4) Repack .conf.tar.gz.
Import with 'Reuse Existing Objects' now succeeds when profile and resource share the same name.
