IT17201: PUREAPPLICATION SYSTEM: CLEAN-UP ENTRIES IN THE SYSTEM DATABASE AFTER AN ENVIRONMENT PROFILE RESTORE OPERATION FAILS

IBM PureApplication System Version 2.2.3.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Restoring public environment profiles from backup does not
  work. The restore process uses an internal user called
  ipas-backup, but public environment profile creation requires
  an LDAP type user.
  
  In the customer 2.1 environment, when the customer deletes the
  environment profile, the delete action leaves artifacts behind
  in the database, causing an error in the console such that the
  environment profile list shows up blank as if the
  delete operation was successful.
  
  However, in the Storehouse browser and logs, the console
  profiles still exist. When the customer tries to
  restore, the operation is incomplete - the external profiles
  that are restored with the internal user ipas-backup become
  duplicates of the original environment profile; they are linked
  in the system database in such a way that deleting the duplicate
  entries later, deletes the original.
  

Local fix

• Please contact IBM support
  

Problem summary

• Error return value should be returned from the environment
  profile operations to prevent invalid entries from being
  created in the system database when an error occurs.
  

Problem conclusion

• A code fix is being provided in PureApplication System and
  BlueMix Local System version 2.2.3.0.
  

Temporary fix
