APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The online documentation states that the Show Connectivity Tool
  should by default show all connections that match the query:
  select * from ncim.enumerations where enumGroup='ifType';
  However, when there are 226 types of interfaces showing in
  that query, only a few are showing up with the Show
  Connectivity Tool.
  The vlan and vpn connections do show in the Network View but
  not in the Show Connectivity Tool.

Problem conclusion

• This issue at a discovery/model level by creating one layer 2
  link to represent the physical connection, while storing the
  VLAN trunk logical connections as a new topology type (VLAN
  toplogy) which the UI does not display - PERFORMANCE
  IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CREATETRUNKCONNECTIONS STITCHER
  (APAR=IV25446).
