  # grep "CP-TE1000X-POC" $FWDIR/log/cpm.elg  

  Verify that the exact failure is displayed:  

  `ObjectDeletionException with objId = 2ac81233-c03d-4e38-bb5b-aa994192dbf5, objName = CP-TE1000X-POC, reason = it is used by the following object(s):
  TESettings_F934A9B0-8B59-42CB-BF8C-2468A2CE5F90 objid:[ed1c4ea3-fe23-4f2f-aa11-1f28e9e60f2f] (field:emulationGw)`
