Pattern Discovery - Custom Arributes are not being set in the CI

[Aju_84]

I am using the Aruba WAP controller referenced here for the discovery , the discovery works find but for the AP's i am trying to update the Manufacture and Model ID of the Access Point in the CI, but these information are not getting populated. When I tried to enabling the debug and checking the particular step i am seeing the required output and also the discovery logs shows setAttribute with the output of Manufacturer and Model ID. 

Transform Table

Debug output 

Discovery Log

CI output

Ay ideas on what mighe be casuing the issue?

Hi @Aju_84 

I guess you are enhancing the update set and adding these 2 new fields, if yes, this is expected as the solution is not complete.

Those 2 new fields you added in pattern are actually reference fields and pattern will not handle references hence you don't see those values populated at the end of discovery.

There are pre post scripts which are needed to transform the values to reference fields and you need to create one such script and add logic there in order to resolve this.

You can check my article on the purpose of these scripts and you should be good enough to fix this. You can refer to OOB pre post scripts that handle same scenario.
