APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
This is a rare scenario, very unlikely to be experienced by the customers following frequent ILMT updates. Software Catalog is now integrated with the ILMT server, so together with ILMT server upgrade, the Software Catalog is being updated as well. But if the import of that Software Catalog will fail during data import, it may be left stale in the ILMT database. As a result, the ILMT UI may be not operational after upgrade/migration to the latest ILMT version. To verify if ILMT instance is vulnerable to the issue: open following URL of the ILMT UI: https://<ILMT_host>:<ILMT_port>/sam/catalog_updates expand "Details" section find the latest row with columns "Content" and "Status" equal to "Catalog XML file" and "Success" respectively - if the value reported in the "Version" column is equal to "<no data>", then such ILMT instance is affected by this APAR. TS010282345
Local fix
APAR Temporary Fix: Execute following SQL update on ILMT database (by default, temadb): --------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- update sam.catalog_updates set fixpack = '9.2.0.0' where fixpack is null --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
