When a server is actively present in the network and is discoverable, Install Status is not reflected the same way - Known Error

When a server is actively present in the network and is discoverable, Install Status is not reflected the same way Description When a server is actively present in the network and is discoverable, Install Status is not reflected the same way

Steps to Reproduce

Mark a server Install status anything other than Installed Rediscover the server Check that the status of the server is still the same Workaround This is working as designed. Please see below for more explanation of why and how this is implemented.

Reason for code change :

When a server is actively discoverable, this server's Install status would be updated as Installed always. "OSs - Pre Sensor" will be updated to check if input payload has Install status value present. If not, update current records Install status as "Installed"

Code change :

Updated 'OSs - Pre Sensor' pre sensor script as below

addOperationalStatusToServer();

addInstallStatusToServer(); // This is newly added method.

var addOperationalStatusToServer = function() {

if (JSUtil.nil(discoveredServer.operational_status)) {

discoveredServer.operational_status = "1";

}

};

// This is the definition of the newly added method

var addInstallStatusToServer = function() {

if (JSUtil.nil(discoveredServer.install_status)) {

discoveredServer.install_status = "1";

}

};

Note :

Install status is an internal field and shouldn't be updated. This is mainly used for licensing purpose. Any updates on this field or having custom install statuses is a customization ( customer need to maintain this customization ). Purpose of this fix is directly tied with discovery licensing.
