Troubleshooting Tip: FortiManager fails to import all EPGs from ACI with 'Data is not committed due to other data's error'

Description

This article describes how to find the reason why the EPG import from ACI is failing.

Scope

FortiManager, ACI (direct).

Solution

Within the current FortiManager design, CDB handler iterates all targets in one transaction and if ANY addition of EPG fails it overwrites all successful results with the generic error - 'Task failed with error: Data is not committed due to other data's error'.

To find out the reason for the import failure, execute the following commands, reproduce the issue, and save the output in a text file:

diagnose debug reset
diagnose debug application connector 255
diagnose debug enable 


In the collected output, search for the 'error' keyword to find the cause under the '__do_cdb_node_attr_check error' function:

__do_cdb_node_attr_check error:firewall address.name ThisObjectIsTheTriggerAsItsNameHasOver79CharactersSoTheFortiManagerWontImportItAsItsBreachingTheNameLengthLimitation

Response [gui json:20989:0bf05148-d2a8-43c2-aa8f-a71ff5b7160f]:

{ "id": "0bf05148-d2a8-43c2-aa8f-a71ff5b7160f", "result": [{ "data": { "name": "NormalObjectNameLength"}, "status": { "code": -1, "message": "Data is not committed due to other data's error."}, "url": "pm\/config\/adom\/FGT_prod\/obj\/firewall\/address"}, { "data": { "name": "NormalObjectNameLength2"}, "status": { "code": -1, "message": "Data is not committed due to other data's error."}, "url": "pm\/config\/adom\/FGT_prod\/obj\/firewall\/address"}]


In the provided example, there was an object named 'ThisObjectIsTheTriggerAsItsNameHasOver79CharactersSoTheFortiManagerWontImportItAsItsBreachingTheNameLengthLimitation', causing the failure of the EPG import as it breaches the maximum character limitation for the firewall address name. See the Text strings section of the administration guide.
