Error description

  • Using the Tivoli Common Reporting function, you can bring
    up a report GUI and a server may already show up in the
    server field. The following steps will reproduce this
    behavior, assuming at least one report GUI has a valid
    server to select from.
    .
    1) Bring up the TCR report GUI that has a valid server to
    select from
    2) Select the server and run the report
    3) Select the TCR report again
    4) The new report GUI shows up with the last server
    selected in #1 above already in the field, but the field
    is actually blank.
    .
    if you run the report at step #4, since the field is
    actually blank, the report will not return with data based
    on the server cached in the field.
    .
    The following reports were tested.
    No = did not cache
    Yes = server name cached
    .
    1) Client Activity Details -  No
    2) Client Activity History - Yes
    3) Client Backup Missed Files - Yes
    4) Client Backup Missed Files - No
    5) Client Schedule Status - Yes
    6) Client Storage Summary - Yes
    7) Client Top Activity - Yes
    .
    8) Server Activity Details - Yes
    9) Server Database Details - Yes
    10) Server Resource Usage - Yes
    11) Server Throughput - Yes
    12) Tape Volume Capacity analysis - Yes
    .
    TSM Versions Affected: Tivoli Common Reporting 6.1
     Initial Impact: low
    Additional Keywords: zz61 ISC AC zzrm61

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

  • This is a limiation of the TCR 1.1.1 and TCR 1.2 code.
    Currently Admin Center 6.1 uses TCR 1.1.1.  There has been
    a DCR opened with the TCR development team to improve the
    functionality of TCR for error messages.
