What is your feedback?

When generating the SAP and POA&M models, there is an error when trying to reference the UUID's from within an attached SSP.

The SSP is linked in the backmatter, and in the same directory as the SAP and POA&M. But trying to reference component uuid's, and inventory uuids fails across models.

Need to understand if these elements need to be locally defined in the model, in order to cross reference. Or if there is a prescribed structure or method to be able to extract and reference these uuid's downstream?

Where, exactly?

Validating downstream dependencies.

Sounds like we need to discuss @resource-fragment and the applicability to the constraints for which you are seeing the error.

Per discussion today, @Telos-sa, can you please present one of the errors you have with import-ap that led to this report. It is meaningful and possibly actionable, but I want to know a good starting point and how we will incorporate this feedback and my suggestion in #914 (comment). Thanks!

Marking blocked until we get feedback. Will check back periodically if there is no notification with reply or I miss to keep us honest. 😄
