Get-OVServerProfileTemplate | ConvertTo-OVPowerShellScript: Missing parameter $netName

Expected Behavior

Getting Server Profile Template information, converting it to PowerShell commands and reimporting it by using the automatically generated PowerShell code. Using following command to generate the PowerShell code:

Get-OVServerProfileTemplate -name $inputArray[$i] | ConvertTo-OVPowerShellScript | Out-File $path

Actual Behavior

PowerShell Code for reimporting the Server Profile Templates works fine but you are not able to use the generated code to reimporting the Server Profile Template due the parameter $netName is missing in the generated code. Example automatically generated code snippet:

 -------------- Attributes for connection "1"
$connID                             = 1
$connName                           = "wer324"
$connType                           = "Ethernet"
$ThisNetwork                        = Get-OVNetwork -Type Ethernet -Name $netName
$portID                             = "Mezz 3:1-b"
$requestedMbps                      = 2500
$Conn1                              = New-OVServerProfileConnection -ConnectionID $connID -Name $connName -ConnectionType $connType -Network $ThisNetwork -PortId $portID -RequestedBW $requestedMbps
$connections                        = $Conn1

Line "$ThisNetwork = Get-OVNetwork -Type Ethernet -Name $netName" will not work and will produce an error because parameter "$netName" is empty (and is not filled anywehere in the automatically generated code).

Steps to reproduce

1) generate manually a simple Server Profile Template with at least one managed connection 2) run "Get-OVServerProfileTemplate | ConvertTo-OVPowerShellScript" to generate PowerShell code for this Server Profile Template 3) Try to reimport the Server Profile Template by using the automatically generated PowerShell code 4) You will get an error that will state that the parameter "$netName" is empty 5) optional: by manually add a code line like '$netname = "testnetwork"' into the automatically generated code will make the code runable.
