Disconnected Weird Issue - Deployment Manager Import

Disconnected Applications

Weird issue while migrating disconnected applications from one environment to another environment.

Details:

There were two disconnected applications with below names:

1. RajivDewan
2. Rajiv

There's no issue while importing first application "RajivDewan" but when you try to import another one "Rajiv" then you will face below issue :

com.thortech.xl.ddm.exception.DDMException: Object specified is invalid.Rajiv [ApplicationInstance]

Reason:
This error comes at the time of importing application instance when application instance name is a sub-string of existing application instance name.

Solution:
Do not create application instance with similar names to avoid this issue

Workaround:

• Change the existing application instance name from the database for time being
• Import the second application instance
• Rollback the name of existing (old) application instance

Note:
There's a support note on this issue but that doesn't contain the workaround.
