Error description
When a library is mark deleted when using FULLREMATCH=Y and PLX=N, the FOBSERVEDELTED field is not always updated with a date. This occurs if the mirror is deleted before the BASE.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All IBM Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS V8.1 * * customers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Some libraries are showing as active * * on some systems after they are deleted. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The mirroring function in V8R1 provides faster and more consistent matching by using only one of identical copies which may be shared in a Sysplex or are just copies. Libraries that share the same name and volume in Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS but are from different systems are considered identical in content when it comes to identification. The first such library as processed by the Inquisitor Import is considered a base, and subsequent libraries are considered mirrors which are simply recorded but are not processed. In other words, a library is only processed on the first system where it is encountered. If the base for a given library is subsequently deleted and the system is presented for processing, only that library is marked deleted. Currently the mirrors still show as active in some reports until their systems are also processed.
Problem conclusion
The logic has been modified so that all mirrors of a given library are marked deleted when the base is marked deleted. The logic of determining the base has also been improved. Previously, the system ID that was first processed was selected as the base. While this was true in most cases, it is no longer necessarily true when libraries are deleted or added to existing systems which may have been processed earlier. The new logic uses a mixture of rules to determine the best base candidate, and relies more on the scan date.
