You receive a "Field value is missing or incorrect" error message when you try to import a management pack to Microsoft Operations Manager 2005

SYMPTOMS

When you try to import a custom management pack that was created by using server that is running Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to a server that is running MOM 2005 Management Server, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
Operation: Import Management Pack Name: C:\CustomMP_Name.akm Status: Failed Description: Management Pack object (ID:'{31BC98F0-1E0C-4262-BF72-C2744EBF30B9}') is not valid. Field value is missing or incorrect.
Sub Operation: Importing Management Pack from 'C:\CustomMP_Name.akm' to DB 'MOMManagementServerName'
Sub Operation: Loading Management Pack from:'C:\CustomMP_Name.akm'
Sub Operation: Loading Management Pack from DB, server:'MOMManagementServerName'
Sub Operation: Importing Management Pack from 'C:\CustomMP_Name.akm' to DB 'MOMManagementServerName'

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the custom management pack contains a rule name that is blank.

Additionally, when you create a rule name that is blank in MOM 2000 SP1, and then you use the MOM 2000 SP1 Administrator Console to delete the rule name that is blank, the rule no longer appears in the MOM Administrator Console. However, the rule may still reside in the management pack. When you try to import the management pack in MOM 2005, the deleted rule that is contained in the management pack generates an error.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005
  • Microsoft Operations Manager 2000 Enterprise Edition
