Error description
When a user attempts to display a Historical Baseline in a TEP chart, the displayed data does not match the selected date. Steps to reproduce: 1. Select a few days worth of historical data in the TEP client. It is important to not use today's date. Choose yesterday or a day before. 2. Add a Historical Baseline. 3. Mouse-over the data for the Historical Baseline and notice that it isn't the date from Step 2. Problem has been observed in 622 and 623 releases.
Local fix
Problem summary
Data for the wrong date is shown if a historical baseline is set for a plot chart with a historical timespan ending prior to the current day. If a plot chart is configured for a timespan ending prior to the current day and a historical baseline is set for a specific or relative date, the baseline data for a different date will be shown. The date in the flyover for the baseline points correctly shows the date of the data. The date in the legend matches the date requested but does not match the data shown. Although it is not a change in behavior resulting from the fix, please note that the historical baseline date must be before the chart end date. If it is the same or later, no baseline will be drawn and an error message will appear in the log but there will be no on-screen message. Because of this restriction for plot charts ending before the current date, the historical baseline dialog option to show yesterday's data will never draw a baseline. The options to show last week's data or data for the last n days will not draw a baseline for any dates on or later than the chart end date.
Problem conclusion
The logic was changed to correctly calculate the date for the historical baseline regardless of whether or not the chart end date matches the current date. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0009 | fix pack | 6.2.3-TIV-ITM-FP0002
Temporary fix
Do not set a historical baseline for a plot chart unless its timespan ends on the current date.
