Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All IBM Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS * * V8.1 customers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Wrong installation dates in asset * * reports. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: N/A * **************************************************************** For a given product within a system, the installation date of versions or features of a product is derived from the discovery date of the dataset that contains the product. This installation date becomes incorrect if the discovery date of the dataset does not match the installation date of the product. This can occur for the following: 1. upgrades to products occur in the same dataset 2. additional products are added to the same dataset
Problem conclusion
In order to determine the installation dates of versions or features for products within a system, the discovery dates of products in datasets are now used. Discovery dates of products are however influenced by discovery dates of identically named datasets (identical in name and volume) which reside on different systems. These named datasets are assumed to have similar product contents when they are placed in the same repository.
