PI60839: ENVIRONMENT TEMPLATE DOES NOT SEEM TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AGENT PROTOTYPE NAMES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem:
  When creating an Environment based on the environment template,
  agent prototype names are not honored: the matching agents are
  not automatically added to the Environment.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  Scenario A, based on Blueprint, succeeds:
  
  - create a Resource Template
  - add a Agent Name Pattern to the Agent Prototype, using the
  exact Agent name
  - create an Application, a Blueprint based on the resource
  template
  - create an environment based on the blueprint: the environment
  got the agent added 3
  
  Scenario B, based on Environment Template, fails:
  
  - create an application template with an environment template
  based on the above resource template
  - create an application based on the application template
  - in the wizard, try to create an environment. You see a dialog
  where you can map the agent to the prototype, but unless you
  manually map them, the agent will not be added to the
  environment
  
  - After the application is created, try to add a new environment
  to it, based on the environment template
  - again the agent is not added to the environment, and in this
  case you also have no wizard to map it manually
  
  The expectation is that the environment template will offer the
  same functionality of the Blueprint with regards to using the
  agent prototype names to identify matching agents.
