IT36737: NO PROGRESS SEEN IN THE PIE CHART OF RUNNING REPLICATION JOB SUMMARY DURING PROCESSING

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus GUI, the job summary
  information for running jobs displays a pie chart to have a
  quick view on the progress of the job.
  
  The running job's summary information is found on the left side
  in the 'Running Jobs' page of the 'Jobs and Operations' GUI
  panel.
  For replications to another vSnap, to Cloud Object Storage or
  to Archive Object Storage, that pie chart is labelled
  'VMs completed: <VMs successfully processed>/
   <Total VMs to Process>'.
  For the above type of jobs, the pie chart does not progress
  during the job and is only briefly populated at job's end right
  before it is moved from the 'Running Jobs' view to the
  'Job History' view.
  That pie chart needs improvement to better display the
  progression of the replication jobs.

Problem conclusion

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Jobs and Operations Running and
  History tabs will only show completion status for jobs that
  support it. For running jobs that do not support completion
  status, the Running tab's job entries will not show the pie
  chart and the corresponding "Completed" statistic. For
  historical jobs that did not support completion status, the
  History tab's job entries will not report "Success", "Failed",
  "Skipped" statistics.
