IV65768: HUAWEI IMANAGER U2000 V200 R014 SUPPORT DOES NOT HANDLE ROOT_CAUSE_INDICATOR ACCORDING TO THE LATEST IDL

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The current version of the Probe for Huawei M2000 (CORBA) v4.0
  maps the "nn" to NV_ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID.
  Therefore events received from Huawei iManager U2000 V200 R014
  with the ROOT_CAUSE_INDICATOR value would be populated in the
  element NV_ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID.
  
  NV_ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID element can be used in the rules file
  as ROOT_CAUSE_INDICATOR.
  
  However users will then lose the original attribute for
  ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID for events from Huawei iManager U2000
  V200 R014.
  
  A change to the probe will be made so that it will  output the
  element, ROOT_CAUSE_INDICATOR accordingly, based on the latest
  IDL for Huawei iManager U2000 V200 R014.
  
  For backwards compatibility
  1) "nn" will be mapped to NV_ROOT_CAUSE_INDICATOR. (to support
  Huawei iManager U2000 V200 R014, and retaining the NV_ prefix
  for consistency)
  2) "reserved_hw_nn" will be mapped to NV_ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID
  (for backward compatibility of older Huawei M2000 EMS support)
  3) "nn" will also be mapped to NV_ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID as
  well, if it has not yet been mapped by "reserved_hw_nn". (For
  backward compatibility of customized rules file that uses
  ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID)
  

Local fix

• As a workaround the NV_ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID element can be
  used in the rules file as ROOT_CAUSE_INDICATOR.
  Be aware that in doing so, you will  lose the
  original attribute for ALARM_SPECIAL_STATUS_ID for events from
  Huawei iManager U2000 V200 R014.
