APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the application has the same name as clientid in v5, AMU
  creates the application in v10 with different client id than
  the original, even though the unpack has the original clientid.
  Steps to reproduce:
  1- Run the apicm archive:push command on a cloud data that
  contains one or more application using client-d as the
  name/title:
  For example:
  /cloud/provider-orgs/myorg/catalogs/mycatalog/consumer-orgs/myco
  rg/apps/test-app-dc91/credentials/5f5b352ae4b07921e492d6be.yml
  ----
  api_version: 2.0.0
  client_id: 79550450-cbfc-49c6-83d9-6c9d404f7300

Local fix

Problem summary

• <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">Create of
  credential, or any other resource could fail if the name was in
  id format</span>
  

Problem conclusion

• <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">Internally
  id's are in UUID v4 format - refer
  </span>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifi
  er#Version_4_(random)<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255,
  255)">. If name field had a value in that format, creation of
  resource could fail. With the fix, name can have a value in the
  id format used internally.</span>
