Opened: Feb 02, 2016

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

The UI or TMSH only includes a create in a transaction. However, validation modifies an attribute (the order in this case) of another record, so both a create and a modify command is included in the transaction sent to TMM and other devices.

Impact

If there is another GTM in the sync group, it receives a transaction with both a create and a modify. This results in additional validation on the 2nd system.

Conditions

Create a GTM configuration with 3 topology regions. Create 3 topology records with the 'Request Source' (LDNS) as one of the regions. This results in 3 topology records with orders of 1, 2, and 3. Delete the topology record with the order of 2. Add another topology record with a region as the 'Request Source'. Note that while the UI or TMSH only includes a create in the transaction, a create and a modify is included in the transaction sent to TMM, etc.

Workaround

None.
