Existing Query on a Recreated Group Fails

Symptom:

When I delete a group and recreate it with the same name, the queries dependent on the group does not produce any result.

Solution:

When you create a group, a new UUID is assigned to the group. The Query Designer uses this UUID (not the group name) to query the database. Hence, if you delete a group and recreate it with the same name, the UUIDs of both groups differ, due to which the query fails. You can edit the query and select the group name again to view the correct results.

Note: This symptom is also applicable if you are querying the scalability server for the linked assets. If you delete a server and register it again, the queries dependent on the server does not produce any result. Follow the same solution.
