APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When there is ?_? character in the hostname then ASD Sensor fails and in logs ?ASDSensor- DEBUG sensor.ASDSensor - No discovery result found for file name <file Name with incorrect host>. This happens because code is written for valid hosts and underscore is invalid. So a mismatch in the file name taken in ASDPingSensor and ASDSensor occurs and discovery fails.
Local fix
Remove the ?_? character from hostname because underscore is invalid in constructing a hostname. Codefix/Resolution: In the code the result package fetched from the Bigfix server is treated to expect an underscore in hostname. So result package is splitted over some other delimiter instead of ?underscore? as used till now and processed.
Problem summary
In BigFix discovery, ASD Sensor fails When there is any underscore character( ¡_ ) in the hostname and in logs visible error is ASDSensor- DEBUG sensor.ASDSensor No discovery result found for file name <file Name with incorrect host> . This happens because code is written for valid hosts and underscore is invalid as per current design. So a mismatch in the file name taken in ASDPingSensor and ASDSensor occurs and discovery fails. Code is changed to provide support even if there is underscore character in the hostname.
Problem conclusion
The fix for APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | Fix Pack | 7.3.0-TIV-ITADDM-FP0008
