Error description

• Reported Release: 630 FP7
  Environment: 630 FP2 through 630 FP7
  Description:
  When monitoring the AIX Network Adapters (AIXNETADPT) attribute
  group, sometimes extra rows are returned containing invalid
  data.
  This can cause real time data to show invalid data on TEP as
  well as historical data collection table to be corrupted /
  unusable.
  As a consequence, Warehouse Proxy Agent may fail uploading data
  to the warehous database due to errors like:
  -------------------
  Error UNKNOWN happened in  endProcessSample for originnode
  RTEMS1 and object AIX_Network_Adapters (table AIXNETADPT appl
  OMUNX)"
  khdxjdbc.cpp,2034,"SQL_BindInputParameter")
  ERROR: The value
  (????????????????????????????????????????????????) in
  the column BPR0 after UTF8 conversion has a length (96) greater
  than the column size (60)
  ------------------
  The above errors into the WPA logs are indeed another symptom
  of the problem that is going to be corrected by this APAR.
