Overview

You may be trying to add an application to the NewNet Mobile Messaging Manager using the tp_shell command line tool and you encounter the following error message: 

Add applicationTable failed: Error: applicationStorageName (): no argument passed to validate()

Solution

This error is caused by incorrect syntax in the tp_shell command, where field names are not separated using commas. Please see below for an example of a correct tp_shell command with fields separated by commas (field names and commas highlighted in blue). 

tp_shell -u <username> -p <passwd> -d 1 --add applicationTable --fields 
applicationName="MMT", applicationShortNumber="6500", applicationType="1", 
applicationSessionModel="1", applicationApplicationGroupIndex="1", applicationCcdrGroupId="3", 
applicationSmppSystemId="MMT",  applicationSmppSystemType="MMTSMPP", applicationOutsideAuthenticationMethod="100",
applicationOutsideSmppPassword="1234567", applicationServiceClassTableBits="1000000000", 
applicationRoutingPathAoMtEnabled="1", applicationApplicationCategoryBits="1000000000", 
applicationOutboundSmppAddressTon="4", applicationOutboundSmppAddressNpi="9"
