The manageprofiles command might display a misleading error message when a required profile augmentation template is missing

Troubleshooting


Problem

When using the manageprofiles command to augment a profile, the augmenting template might require other templates as prerequisites. If any of those prerequisite templates are missing, then the manageprofiles command will display an error. The error is misleading and displays the wrong template name as the one that is missing.

Symptom

When using the manageprofiles command to augment a profile, the template used for augmentation might require other templates as prerequisites. If one of the prerequiste templates is missing, then the manageprofiles command displays an error message. The error message states that a required profile template is missing, but it names the wrong profile template as the one that is missing.

For example, you might try to augment a profile with a template named "TemplateA". This template might require other templates as prerequisites, such as "Template1" and "Template2". If either of those required templates (Template1 or Template2) are missing, then the profile tool will display an error message:

Cannot locate the template: No profile template exists at path TemplateA

The error message is misleading. In this example, the error message states that TemplateA is missing, when either Template1 or Template2 could actually be missing.

The profile augmentation will fail, because a required template is missing.
