Discovery through SDK is no longer working as expected PowerShell

Question

I've been working on and off on this automation tool and it used to work great on 10.6. I've recently upgraded to 11.0.1 and now my script is no longer importing WMI based nodes properly at all. I've checked to see if my variable inside the CreateCorePluginConfiguraiton is present and it appears that it is but when I look at the discovery profiles it doesn't find the test node. Also the discovery finishes incredibly quick which makes me believe that it's not handling this properly. Code for the discovery below. I still need to make this more flexable but I've not had the time to keep up on this project. $FaultIPListImport = 0 if ($CSV) { #CSV import $importFile="c:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\NodeList.csv" $importList=IMPORT-CSV $importFile } else { $importList = $IPAddresses } $nodeIpList = Get-SwisData $swis "Select IPAddress from Orion.Nodes" ForEach ($import in $importList) { if ($nodeIpList -contains $import) { Write-Host "Node is already in system with IP $import" } else { $FaultIPListImport = 1 $block = $import # $build = $build + "<d3p1:string>$block</d3p1:string>" $build = $build + "

$block

" } } #Logic to test for blank import list. if ($FaultIPListImport -eq 0) { Write-Host "No IPs to import! All are duplicates!" Break } #Output the IP List $build $CoreParameter = ([xml]" $build 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 1 10000 ").DocumentElement $CoreConfig = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Discovery" "CreateCorePluginConfiguration" @($CoreParameter) $CoreConfigInnerPiece = $coreConfig.InnerXml $StartDiscoveryCfg = ([xml]" Test Discovery1 1 3600 2000 3000 4 1800000 161 0 SNMP2c false false false false false false false $CoreConfigInnerPiece " ).DocumentElement $out = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Discovery" "StartDiscovery" @($StartDiscoveryCfg) $output = $out.innerxml #Once complete $output will give you the ProfileID. $output #Will leave in the $JobStatus loop to stall the script until the discovery is complete. $JobStatus = Get-SwisData $swis "Select Status from Orion.DiscoveryProfiles Where ProfileID = $output" While ($jobStatus -ne 2) { Write-Host "Discovery Not Finished Yet!" Start-Sleep -s 10 $JobStatus = Get-SwisData $swis "Select Status from Orion.DiscoveryProfiles Where ProfileID = $output" } Write-Host "Discovery has completed!" $DiscoveryInfo = Get-SwisData $swis "select IPAddress, IPAddressGUID, NodeID, ProfileID, cred.Name, cred.ID, EngineID, HostName, Vendor from Orion.DiscoveredNodes dn left join Orion.DiscoveryProfiles dp on dn.ProfileID = dp.ProfileID left join Orion.Credential cred on dn.CredentialID = cred.ID where dn.ProfileID = $output"

That gave me the clue I needed to figure this one out. Here's the problem. XML element names are case sensitive, and your script has the casing wrong on one of them: IPAddress should be IpAddress. When I changed this line: $build = $build + "

$block

" To this: $build = $build + "

$block

" It started working. And if you look at Madhavan's post that you linked to, you will see that's how the IpAddress element is spelled there too. I can't say how your script could have worked in 10.6. I don't have a 10.6 installation handy to test against, but I checked the source code history for that class to see if some developer had foolishly changed the casing of that element, but it has not changed there.
