IJ38260: HISTORICAL COLLECTION DATA IS DUPLICATED WHEN PRIVATE SITUATIONS ARE DEFINE.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 12 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0012)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If both Private and Persistent Situations for the same
  Historical Collection Group are defined, the results is a
  duplication of data written to the Warehouse.
  

Local fix

• Disable either the Historical Collection for either of the
  Situations to avoid duplicate data written to the Warehouse
  

Problem summary

• Creating Private Situations which collect identical metrics that
   is also collected by the Agent's default Historical Collection
  Situations will result in the Warehouse Proxy Agent exceeding
  its available resource limits and abnormally terminating.
  
  
  If an Agent is configured so that its Historical Collection data
  is available to both ITM TEMS and CP4MCM then excessive
  duplicate data will be uploaded to the Warehouse Proxy Agent
  causing the Warehouse Proxy Agent to run out of system resources
  resulting in its abnormal termination.
  

Problem conclusion

• Corrected agent framework code to be capable of ignoring
  CP4MCM's direction to collect historical data while still
  performing all the other duties of a "dual mode" agent.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
  
     | service pack | 6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0012
  

Temporary fix

• Do not configure historical data collection in CP4MCM for any
  agent types that will be placed in dual mode.
