Atul, I've come across this error in every import I've done - I didn't get around to logging it with support, but I did find a workaround...
After importing and receiving the error message, go into OBJSTR:Class and find the classes you were trying to import (both the original copy and the pending copy). Set the 'OS Form Name' attribute to $NULL$ and save the record. Then using the cmdbdriver, run a "sync" command and when asked for the pending ID, paste in the pending ID from the class (or classes) you imported. The sync should complete successfully and when finished it will clean up all the duplicates. Then you can set the 'OS Form Name' attribute again and save the class. I've done this a number of times and it has worked quite well. The CMDB driver has a limited life - BMC will get rid of it soon, so I don't think they're spending a great deal of time fixing bugs with it...

Support seemed to be aware of this and hinted to CMDB Patch 3 for a fix. Probably not the answer you wanted to hear. We reverted to using the Class Manager for all our attribute migrations (manually creating each change on dev, tst and prd respectively). You will need to delete the "change pending" records in the OBJSTR:Class and OBJSTR:AttributeDefinitions to get rid of the duplicate classes. HTH. -Gavin -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Atul Vohra Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 1:47 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: cmdbdriver to move CMDB changes between servers I have extended and created new classes on my development server (HP UX 11i, Oracle 9i, ARS 6.3, CMDB1.1 patch002). Class like BMC_AssetBase, BMC_ComputerSystem etc. were extended. Using "Migrating a BMC Atrium CMDB from Development to Production" document, I exported all the classe s and subclasses to a directory (I used the sample script that was provided in the document). Then I tried to import the entire directory (with classes) into my other server -- again using cmdbdriver. But I get the following error message: ReturnCode: ERROR Status List : 1 items Status Struct : Message type : ERROR Message number : 120071 Message: Setting the form name class characteristic is not allowed. Now I have duplicate classes in this destination server and all the entries are showing active (though the pending id was not 0 in many classes.) Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong.
