Model Type Editor
The Model Type Editor (MTE) is a utility that is used to modify, add, or remove model
types, attributes, and relations, letting you tailor your database to your specific network
design.
Known MTE Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.3
Problem 1: When you run the MTE and import a MIB with an object name
longer than 30 characters, you receive the Success message (even though
the object did not import) that says:
The MIB was successfully imported.
In a terminal window or on the Control Panel itself, you see error
messages for the MIB objects (with names of more than 30 characters)
that failed to import.
Solution: There are two workarounds. The first is to identify each MIB
object with 30+ characters in its name and shorten the name before
running the MTE. The second (which only applies to attributes in
truncated group names) is to find the attributes that are listed as
<no group> and manually assign the truncated group name in the
Attribute View.
If the MTE was run from the Control Panel, a list of MIB objects that did
not import will be displayed on the Control Panel.
If the MTE was run from the command line, a list of MIB objects that did
not import will be displayed in that window.
In the future, users will see the Success dialog only when no errors have
occurred and an error dialog listing all errors if they occur. This problem
will be corrected in a future release of SPECTRUM.
