RS03873: RESTORING A BASELINE OR SNAPSHOT MAY CREATE A NEW VERSION OF A RULE WITH A WRONG VERSION NUMBER

21.0.3-WS-CP4BA-IF007
21.0.2-WS-CP4BA-IF008

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When restoring a baseline into a branch (using the Enterprise
  Console) or restoring a snapshot (using the Business Console), a
  new version is created for each rule that need to be updated.
  If a rule was in the recycle bin before restoring the baseline
  and not in the recycle bin in the baseline, then the rule gets
  restored to the state not-deleted in the branch (which is
  expected), but 2 problems happens:
  
  1) the version created does not have the expected version number
  (which should be = latest + 1) but a smaller version number
  2) the Business Console only displays some versions of the rule
  in the timeline
