IJ33632: OUTDATED CAPACITY SCAN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CASE TS005489786
  
  this turns out to be an APAR in the feature (of informing about
  outdated scan) design. Please open one and let me know the APAR
  number.
  
  The ILMT data import works in such a way that it processes a
  range of data from BigFix, i.e. the data that changed from the
  last successful import until the point in time the current data
  import started.
  
  If the data is updated while the data import is running, in
  usual case the data import will not pick it up - instead, this
  change is supposed to be processed during the next data import.
  
  The problem is that the Time of Last Successful Capacity Scan
  property in the Scanner Information analysis gets updated very
  frequently (capacity scan is performed every 30 mins). So it is
  quite probable that for the same endpoint that property will be
  refreshed each time during consecutive data imports, thus the
  value ILMT server reports on the UI becomes stale.
