IT43511: SOURCE SNAPSHOT SHOWS "<SQL_DB> - USE LATEST" INCORRECTLY FOR SQL PIT RESTORE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When performing SQL PIT restore, no matter what values are input
  into "Choose a date and time to search for a log backup
  coverage."  and "Choose a date and time valid backup coverage
  for all of the selected databases to restore." fields, the
  Source snapshot in Review page always shows "<sql db> - Use
  Latest". This is a wrong messaging issue. The snapshot
  selection is done when restore job runs by searching eligible
  snapshot for PIT restore.
  
  Versions affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus v10.1.13 and later
  versions
  
  Additional keywords: TS012132202 SPP
