An IltInvalidStateException is thrown when I call IltNetworkElement.setState(IltState state)

Question

Why do I get an IltInvalidStateException when I call IltNetworkElement.setState(IltState state) ?

Answer

If you get an IltInvalidStateException, it means that the state model used (OSI, Bellcore, SNMP, SONET...) has been violated.

For example, given the following code segment:

IltNetworkElement ne = new IltNetworkElement("NE",IltNetworkElement.Type.NE,new IltOSIObjectState());

Suppose you call:

IltNetworkElement.setState(IltOSI.State.Administrative.ShuttingDown);

You are trying to create the following combination of states:

This combination is not allowed by the OSI state model as specified in the following section of the ILOG JTGO Documentation:

This section lists the eight state scenarios that are allowed. As you will notice, the above state is not one of the allowed states. This

explains the exception.

Please read thoroughly the equivalent sections about the other state dictionaries for more information on the legal states of each state model.
