Microsoft Data Platform Competency Spatial Data Types Failing

Question

I am attempting to pass the The SQL Server 2012 Platform Ready Tests.

I have selected "Spatial Data" as one of the tests. My SQL database contains a geography data type field. I have an app that is inserting multiple records into this table, and then reading them back out (including DBGeography records).

When I run the Microsoft Platform Ready Test Tool V4.1 and go through the steps, it fails the Spatial test stating: No records for geography data type were found or the records count found is less than 2.

Test Status: Fail Test case/Verification: TC 11.1 - Is geography data type present and is the record count greater than 1 for the given table in the SQL instance?

As I have Geography field, and it is populated with multiple records, I do not understand why this is failing.
create table blah
{ field1...,
[IncidentLocation] [geography] NOT NULL,
}

Any suggestions as to how to get it to pass?

To resolve issues where you believe the test should be passing, contact the MPR support providing your application id. Odds are they will grant you a waiver passing the test for you.
