I would suggest adding log.debug entries to the code, and do a manual pattern run. See where it is actually removing it. The code has no removal steps so it almost sound like there is another TPL running at the same time. Make sure you only have one Location modifying TPL uploaded. We have the same TPL running except ours looks at the subnet instead of the name.

So if i have one running for my host by ip address and one for my network devices working off the name it wont work?

So it is working but it’s not. their is no relationship between Network Element and location. when i check the history it shows the location. but since the taxonomy has no relationship it will not populate the data. Is there a way to extend it so it will?

That I do not know. That would be a question for BMC staff or Support.
