Table 2 Fixed Bugs

Bug Number Description

29478545

Issue

When an ASR order with EVC OAM form is created through API/GUI, the OBF validation corresponding to the following rule for the P-MID field "P-MID Required when the OAM-IND field is populated, and the OAM ACT field is 'N' " expects all 10 P-MID fields to be populated.

Resolution

Code has been modified and now when an ASR order with EVC OAM form is created through API/GUI, the OBF validation corresponding to this rule for the P-MID field "P-MID Required when the OAM-IND field is populated, and the OAM ACT field is 'N' " will allow order entry if at least one P-MID field is populated.

29298241

Issue

When importing an ASR order, even if the alconTel field is populated, the application responds with the below error message.

<ns1:error>

<ns1:errorCode>25164</ns1:errorCode>

<ns1:errorMessage>PON: ASRORDER | FORM : SALI

|:: ALCON TEL Required when the ALCON field is populated, otherwise

prohibited</ns1:errorMessage>

This message goes away when the aalconTel field is populated instead of the alconTel field.

Resolution

Code has been modified and now the user will be able to import an ASR order successfully if the alconTel field is populated.
