Checksum is different wether you use (for example) "export --using all:summary" or "export --using clusterPropertyByName"

Hi,

A customer made me aware of this checksum difference and I could reproduce is as shown below:

g export --using all:summary | grep cluster.hostname

{
"name": "cluster.hostname",
"checksum": "c668f5caaa30d208c04a5736b33840da32597432"
}

g export --using clusterPropertyByName --variables.name cluster.hostname

{
"clusterProperties": [
{
"name": "cluster.hostname",
"checksum": "93e04fa0f5bb11283384d1ae403e061f72113852",
"hiddenProperty": false,
"value": "gwd"
}

Is this a normal behaviour?

(using gateway 11.1.1 and graphman client 1.3.13)

Thanks.

Christian

Hi @OchristianBRC .
Interesting. Your observation does not seem that obvious as at first glance.
I just took a look at my cluster.hostname cwp (starting a paused vmware based gw) , the same way as you did, and observed the same different checksum result.
Then, unfortunately, I needed to re-create the gateway DB due to technical issues.
After the restart, I created a new cwp . For this new cwp the checksum was the same. I changed the value of the new cwp, the checksum was different to the first look, as expected, but I still got the same value in both variants.
... I started my test-gw from paused state again this morning, checksums are still consistent ...
Hmmm ...
Best regards
...Michael

@muemi03 @OchristianBRC It is quite unexpected experience. We need a proper repro steps to fix it.
