APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• SUA Upload catalog failed. "The upload file is an older than the
  current catalog"
  
  1)Install SUA and import the initial catalog
  2))Import IBM SW Catalog
  3)Make a custom software "TESTforImport" on SwKBT.
  4)After that, it is impossible to import catalog on SUA
  
  Using this procedure it is impossible to update catalog with a
  custom software.
  
  The following message is always displayed:
  "Upload failed. The uploaded file is an older version than the
  current catalog."
  
  
  
  After using SwKBT, then only possible flow is:
  Import catalog to swkbt -> publish to canonical 2.0 -> import
  into SUA
  Using this flow, the initial catalog version is picked from
  published SwKBT catalog version and further updates are possible
  

Local fix

• Reinstall SUA and follow above flow
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  ****************************************************************
  * Upload of the catalog from Software Knowledge Base Toolkit
  * to Software Use Analysis fails and the following message
  * is displayed. Upload failed. The uploaded file is an older
  * version than the current catalog
  *
  * BEHAVIOR AFTER APPLYING THE PATCH:
  * The problem occurs because the catalog that you uploaded
  * during the initial import did not come from Software Knowledge
  * Base Toolkit. If you want to use Software Knowledge Base
  * Toolkit for catalog management, configure a catalog server
  * before the initial import. Thus, you ensure that the catalog
  * that is picked during the initial import comes from Software
  * Knowledge Base Toolkit and there are no problems with catalog
  * versions in the future.
  *
  * After you install the patch, information that is displayed
  * on the initial import panel states that you should upload a
  * catalog from Software Knowledge Base Toolkit if you want to
  * use it for catalog management. Documentation is also updated
  * to contain information that if you ran the initial import
  * without configuring the catalog server, you can reinstall
  * Software Use Analysis to solve the catalog versioning problem.
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply appropriate update when available.
