Not finding catalog items ?

[LordofVxRail]

Hi All, experiencing a very strange anomaly since upgrading to 10.3.3

here is an example:

all ok here:

PS C:\scripts\catalog_loop\day1> Get-Catalog $CICatalog|Get-CIVAppTemplate  | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*4.5.300*"}

Name                           Status            Owner                          StorageUsedGB
----                           ------            -----                          -------------

PS C:\scripts\catalog_loop\day1> Get-Catalog $CICatalog|Get-CIVAppTemplate  | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*7.0.370*"}

Name                           Status            Owner                          StorageUsedGB
----                           ------            -----                          -------------

PS C:\scripts\catalog_loop\day1> 

all ok here too:

PS C:\scripts\catalog_loop\day1> Get-CIVAppTemplate -Name 4.5.300_4_node_DE

Name                           Status            Owner                          StorageUsedGB

PS C:\scripts\catalog_loop\day1> 

I can't find the 7.0.370 example above:

PS C:\scripts\catalog_loop\day1> Get-CIVAppTemplate -Name 7.0.370_4+2_node_DE
Get-CIVAppTemplate : 6/7/2022 1:23:46 PM	Get-CIVAppTemplate		CIVAppTemplate with name '7.0.370_4+2_node_DE' was not found using the specified filter(s).	
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-CIVAppTemplate -Name 7.0.370_4+2_node_DE

PS C:\scripts\catalog_loop\day1> 

any ideas why I cant find these? I've re-created the catalog  item, same issue, I'm crossing my fingers & toes that this is not a database issue.

thanks!

Ok, this method works, not sure why it only happened since the upgrade

PS C:\scripts\catalog_loop\day1> Get-CIVApptemplate | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*7.0.370_4+2_node_DE*"} 

Name                           Status            Owner                          StorageUsedGB
