SNMP SET operation - Works on the MIB-Browser-GUI but fails on the record-and-play script

SNMP "set" operation can be applied successfully from the MIB-Browser GUI but when the same set of steps were recorded and played as a script, the "set" operation fails. 

The specific details are given below: 
Please find attached the concerned MIB files. 


In the MIB file - ATN-TP-SonetClientCtp-MIB.TXT, the syntax of certain MIB objects such as InfnServiceType, InfnJ0MessageCompliance, InfnJ0TraceMode, InfnEnableDisable, InfnLoopbackType are linked to another MIB file INFINERA-TC-MIB.txt. 

The set operation on these objects (whose syntax is linked to another MIB file) is having an issue. (i.e) The set operation is applied successfully on the SNMP-Browser-GUI, but fails with the record-and-play sessions. 

Please find attached the test execution report and the steps that are recorded and played.

To make it clear, I have posted specific portions of the MIB files.
In the below example, the SYNTAX of the "sonetClientCtpRxJ0TraceMode" object is defined as  InfnJ0TraceMode, which is defined as  INTEGER (but in another MIB file).
iTest, supposedly is not picking this up from another MIB file that I am getting the following error message:  Cannot convert '2' to type 'InfnJ0TraceMode', Unsupported type: InfnJ0TraceMode

From ATN-TP-SonetClientCtp-MIB.TXT
sonetClientCtpRxJ0TraceMode  OBJECT-TYPE
 SYNTAX     InfnJ0TraceMode
 MAX-ACCESS read-write
 STATUS     current
 DESCRIPTION 
 "RxJ0TraceMode"
 ::= { sonetClientCtpEntry 8 }
From  INFINERA-TC-MIB.txt. 
InfnJ0TraceMode ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS     current
    DESCRIPTION 
        "J0 Trace Mode."
    SYNTAX   INTEGER  { 
        transparent ( 1 ) , 
        overwrite ( 2 ) 
    }

This looks like a bug in the code. We will follow up after investigation.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Is there a possible workaround to bye-pass this issue ?

This is keeping my testing effort blocked.

 

Thanks
