APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DETAIL OF PROBLEM:
  When the SMAC API is used (e.g. by products like SmartCloud
  Storage Access
  or IBM Cloud Orchestrator) to add an export to a Delivery Unit
  (DU) which
  does not yet have any NFS or CIFS exports, the DU modification
  for adding
  the export fails with "Change_Failed HWN021920E The export ID
  null was not
  found."
  The problem occurs only when adding a NFS or a CIFS export to a
  DU which
  doesn't yet have any exports.
  It does not show up when adding both NFS and CIFS exports to the
  DU.
  This problem exists in all TPC 5.2.x versions up to 5.2.4.
  
  RECREATE STEPS:
  1. Create a DU using the SMAC API or one of the products
  mentioned
  above without defining any NFS or CIFS exports.
  2. Modify the DU created in step 1 by adding a NFS or a CIFS
  export
  to it (but not both at the same time).
