IV70975: ITM DATAPROVIDER NOT HANDLING MULTIPLE PARAM_SOURCETOKENS.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 5 (6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0005)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Approver Initials:    bs
  Severity:             2
  Reported Release:     630
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  ================
  When a ITMcDP request includes multiple param_SourceToken
  arguments, CURI will create a single comma-delimited string as
  the value assigned to this argument.  The ITMcDP is not
  recognizing this comma-delimited string format, and not parsing
  the value correctly so that multiple ORIGINNODE are referenced
  in the corresponding SQL.
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  ==================
  The dash server sends URI requests to the data provider in the
  following format.
  
  ./datasets/<datasetID>/items?param_SourceToken=managedSystem1&pa
  ram_SourceToken=managedSystem2&etc
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Data provider requests containing a comma-delimited list of
  ORIGINNODE values fails.
