IV43892: UNABLE TO ADD ATTRIBUTE TO CLASSIFICATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• .
  Problem description
  We have assets in the system with the SERVICE attribute,
  however, the
  attribute SERVICE does NOT already exist on the classification
  referenced by the asset. The SERVICE was added to the asset but
  NOT the classification. The SERVICE attribute has a domain
  from where the values are pulled. However, the
  domain values do not show up on the Select Value screen when in
  the
  Asset application. In order
  for the domain values to show up on the Select Value screen, we
  need to
  associate the SERVICE attribute with the Servers classification.
  However,
  when attempting to do so, we receive an error message.
  
  
  
  Steps to Replicate
  Go to Assets application and recall ASSET=61002, click on the
  Specifications tab
  NOTE: 5 attributes already exist
  Click New Row to add a new attribute
  In field Attribute=STAGE, tab out and Save
  Go to System Configuration>Platform Configuration>Domains
  Click on button Add New Domain>Add New ALN Domain
  In ALN Domain dialog box, Domain=DMAIN, Description=Test,
  Length=50
  Enter three values using the New Row Button
  Value=test1, Description=Test 1
  Value=test2, Description=Test 2
  Value=test3, Description=Test 3
  Click OK on the ALN Domain dialog box
  Go to Administration>Classifications
  Recall record TTAXLE on the List tab and select it
  Go to Select Action>Add/Modify Properties>Attributes
  Filter for attribute STAGE
  On field Domain use the magnifying glass and filter and select
  domain
  DMAIN
  Click OK on the Attributes dialog box
  Still on the TTAXLE record, scroll down to the Attributes data
  area and
  hit the New Row button
  Enter Attribute=STAGE and tab out
  NOTE the Domain and Data Type fields are filled correctly
  Click on the Save
  
  RESULT: Error Message is thrown
  
  BMXAA4129E - Record already exists for Attribute=STAGE,
  Asset=61002,
  Section=, Site=BEDFORD, Linear Specification Id=0. Ensure that
  the key
  value for the given record is unique.
