If OpenNMS is installed on a Windows 7/2008 machine under “C:\Program Files\OpenNMS” (this is the default directory suggested by the setup program), it is not possible to import a requisition into the database. The error occurs because the directory contains a space between "Program" and "Files". If I install OpenNMS in "C:\OpenNMS" the import of the requisition works without any problems. If it is installed in "C:\Open NMS" (with a space) you cannot import the requisition.

In the Web-UI…
1. Admin -> Manage Provisioning Requisitions.
2. Enter “HoeftWessel” in the Edit-Field and click “Add New Requisition”.
3. Edit the Requisition.
4. Click “Add Node”.
5. Enter “Allegro LS 61201765” in the Edit-Field and click “Save”.
6. Click “Add Interface”, enter “172.26.26.73” in the “IP interface” Field and click “Save”.
7. Click “Add Service”, choose “SNMP” and save.
8. Click “Add Service”, choose “ICMP” and save.
9. Click “Done”.
10. Requisition: “1 nodes defined, 0 nodes in database”, “Last Modified: 2014-01-13T12:47:19.313+01:00”, “Last Synchronization Requested: Never”.
11. Click “Synchronize”.
12. Requisition: “1 nodes defined, 0 nodes in database”, “Last Modified: 2014-01-13T12:47:19.313+01:00”, “Last Synchronization Requested: Never”.
13. The “Node List” does not contain the new node.
