getVDBImports returns empty list, dynamic becomes false when importing VDB becomes ACTIVE

dcaros Feb 21, 2013 1:33 PM

Hi,

When I deploy a VDB that imports another VDB, the call to getVDBImports returns correct information and it is marked as dynamic when the importing VDB is in a LOADING state. When this importing VDB becomes ACTIVE, the call to getVDBImports returns an empty list and will also change the "dynamic" property from "true" to "false". I think there is an issue in CompositeVDB and the buildCompositeState method. It looks like this method is creating a newMergedVDB and assigning variable values from original VDB to it. However, it is not updating the "dynamic" or "imports" variables for newMergedVDB, so it uses defaults (false for dynamic, empty list for imports),

Thanks,

Danny

Danny,

Yes, those values are not currently copied over. I don't believe there is a reason for that that. Can you log an issue?

Hi Steve,
Let me explain what I am doing before I open an issue, maybe I am going about this the wrong way..

I am calling the adminapi getVDB() on a VDB that imports other VDBs. Then I am calling getVDBImports() on the VDB object that is returned. If this importing VDB object is in a LOADING state, it returns correct list of imported VDBs. If it is in an ACTIVE state, the call to getVDBImports() returns an empty list. We need a way to get imported VDBs when an importing VDB is ACTIVE. We want to be able to recreate a VDB xml file from the object that is returned from getVDB() and need information on imported VDBs.

I also noticed the "dynamic" value changing when an importing VDB goes from LOADING to ACTIVE and thought it was strange, but not important to what I am doing, but this lead me to invetigating CompositeVDB and the buildCompositeState method.

Let me know if I should go ahead and open an issue.

Thanks,
Danny

Yes, go ahead and log an issue. I'll also make sure that imported models don't inappropriately show up if using the VDBMetadataParser.

Ok, the fix will be in 8.3 CR1.
