Error description
#situation naming conventions in ITM version 6.1 and 6.2 are : *length<32 chars. *starts with alphabetic characters. *does not contain special characters and whitespaces. #In ITM 6.2.1 these restrictions are removed and situation names can be upto 256 characters. Steps to recreate the problem are : 1)Create a situation that follows earlier conventions. *observe siuation name displayed correctly in TEP. *observe situation name displayed correctly in tacmd listsit. *observe out put of tacmd viewsit -s <sit_name> is correct. 2)Edit situation in TEP situation editor in following way. -->Rename the situation in such a way that even the new name is according to earlier conventions. click "apply" and then click "ok". Close situation editor. *observe the new situation name is displayed in TEP situation editor. *observe tacmd listsit displays old situation name. *issue command tacmd viewsit -s <oldsit_name> observe this correctly displays output. situation definition is as follows: Name : <oldsit_name> Fullname: <newsit_name> *issue command tacmd viewsit -s <newsit_name> this does not display situation and gives error: {KUICVS005E: The situation <newsit_name> does not exist on server <protocol>://<servername>:<port_number>. The command did not complete because the specified situation was not found on the server. Specify a valid situation name and try running the viewsit command again. } <==this is where the problem lies. Note: this problem happens only when the new name given to situation also follows earlier conventions (which are mentioned above). If new situation name contains whitespace, special characters (eg: "-") or is more than 32 characters; then : tacmd viewsit -s <newsit_name> works. (displays situation).
