Error description
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: On the ITM IBM i agent, a "Time not valid" or "Date not valid" exception may occur as the result of a corrupted variable used to store and calculate the date and time when monitoring a message queue. If this problem occurs, a "Time not valid" or "Date not valid" message will be displayed in the OMA log and message ID CPF1060 or CPF1061 will be present in the job log. RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Install 6.2.2 Fixpack 3 i5/OS agent 2) Configure the agent with TEMS hostname, communication protocol and port 3) Start the agent and make sure agent connects to TEMS. 4) Start situations related to OS400 Message attributes if auto start situations on OS400 Message already not started. 5) Verify the OMA log (GO OMA Option 1) for "Time not valid" or "Date not valid" messages This problem can not be reproduced easily and occurred on only one customer's system. "Time not valid" or "Date not valid" messages may not display on internal systems.

Problem summary
On the ITM IBM i agent, a "Time not valid" or "Date not valid" exception may occur as the result of a corrupted variable used to store and calculate the date and time when monitoring a message queue. This problem may occur when a time span is not specified for the message queue query and a default time span is calculated. This scenario can be determined by checking the agent logs (QAUTOTMP/KA4AGENTxx, where xx=01, 02, 03) for the following message: "report requested without datetime, default value used" If this problem occurs, a "Time not valid" or "Date not valid" message will be displayed in the OMA log (DSPOMALOG). The message detail will contain exception message ID CPF1060 or CPF1061
Problem conclusion
The code has been modified to properly initialize variables used in message queue default date and time calculation to prevent unpredictable values. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0006
Temporary fix
In the portal client, specify a time span for the message queue report by clicking on the Timespan selection icon to change the duration applied to the query. Select a time period using the radio buttons for either Last or Custom.
