IT36254: WHEN SELECTING AN SLA POLICY FOR A VM, THE REPLICATION FREQUENCY IS DISPLAYED INSTEAD OF THE BACKUP FREQUENCY FOR EACH SLA

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When selecting an SLA policy for a VM, the replication
  frequency is displayed instead of the backup frequency for each
  SLA policy.
  Expected behaviour is that both to be displayed, or at least
  the backup frequency by default, if only displaying one.
  Problem happens when you chose:
  - a VM to be backed up
  - then Select the SLA
  - replication frequency is shown , instead of backup frequency.

  subpolicies, the SLA policy table now shows the frequency
  information of the backup instead of replication.
