IJ22893: USE OF THE TERM SELECT IN HISTORICAL DEFINITION NAMES CAUSES ASSOCIATED ATTRIBUTE GROUPS INELIGIBLE FOR HISTORICAL COLLECTION

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 5 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0005)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:  TEPS - all supported platforms.
  
  
  Problem Description:
  Use of the term SELECT in the historical collection rule name
  defined in the *.his file (provided with an ITM monitoring agent
  application support file) results in the generation of an
  invalid predicate in the UADVISOR situation definition created
  by the TEPS component.   Due to this syntax error, the UADVISOR
  situation cannot be successfully instantiated by the TEMS, and
  the associated attribute group can not be configured by the TEP.
  

Local fix

• Avoid using the term SELECT within an attribute group name.
  This workaround applies to both manually created agent ODI
  files, and table definitions created using the Agent Builder
  tool.
  

Problem summary

• USE OF THE TERM 'SELECT' IN HISTORICAL DEFINITION NAMES CAUSES
  ASSOCIATED ATTRIBUTE GROUPS INELIGIBLE FOR HISTORICAL COLLECTION

  defined in the *.his file (provided with an ITM monitoring agent
  application support file) results in the generation of an
  invalid predicate in the UADVISOR situation definition created
  by the TEPS component.  Due to this syntax error, the UADVISOR
  situation cannot be successfully instantiated by the TEMS, and
  the associated attribute group can not be configured by the TEP.
  

Problem conclusion

• TEPS component updated to correctly recognize and accept
  use of the term 'SELECT' within an attribute group name.
