IJ49673: CANNOT SAVE A CI IF IT HAS A CLASSIFICATION WITH AN ALN TYPE ATTRIBUTE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Steps to reproduce:
  1. To to the Classifications application and create a new
  Classification
  2. In the "Use With" table add a new row for "CI"
  3. In the "Attributes" table a new row and select an ALN
  attribute, ex "SH MAT"
  4. Go to the Configuration Items application and create a new CI
  
  5. In the Classification field enter the Classification created
  above
  6. Click on "Save"
  
  Actual Results:
  An error appears : BMXAA4176E - Attribute DATEVALUE does not
  exist. Gather the logs from the <HOME> directory and determine
  the process or app referencing the invalid attribute.
  
  Expected Result:
  Save should work.
  
  Note: The same error is thrown if you use "Solution" in step 2
  and create a new Solution in step 4.
  
  
  Workaround:
  Add ALN, Numeric or Table value to CISpec while adding it to CI.
  This will allow the save to work.
