Error description
Severity: 2 Approver: BEH Reported Release:620 Compid: 5724K1000 Tivoli Universal Agent Abstract: UA RECORDSET 'delimiter_pattern' is not working . Environment: The customer was running ITM 6.2 on a Windows box. I have also re-created the problem on ITM 6.21 on a Windows box. Problem Description: The RECORDSET feature is not working when it is looking for a string in the file. If you use the RECORDSET for a fixed amount of rows that is working fine. Detailed Recreation Procedure: Create an input file that contains a string which represents the end of a record. Then code the RECORDSET keyword in an MDL file with the string taht you are using. When you run the application it breaks the data up on a variable amount of records. The variable amount of records is the amount that it takes to fill a buffer which will then be processed against the MDL file. Related Files and Output: Full details are in the PMR and ECUREP.
Local fix
If it is possible change the RECORDSET parameter to look for a fixed amount of records.
Problem summary
Universal Agent RECORDSET 'delimiter_pattern' is not working for releases 6.2 FixPack 2 or later. When using 'delimiter_pattern' form of RECORDSET clause in metafile, resulting data rows appear incorrectly in Tivoli Enterprise Portal display with one or more data rows showing a skewing effect which results in incorrect column (attribute) values.
Problem conclusion
IZ26083 attempted to enchance RECORDSET 'delimiter_pattern' behavior for case where file records are being read in sporadically (with delay between arrival of file records). The compound conditional statement to determine when a RECORDSET 'delimiter_pattern' was complete was incorrectly an 'OR' condition when it needed to be an 'AND' condition. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | interim fix pack | 6.2.0.3-TIV-ITM-IF0002
