IV74037: HISTORICAL TIMESPAN DOES NOT RE ENABLE IN WORKSPACE VIEW

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 6 (6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0006)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Select Time Span for Query' becomes unavailable for KRV
  application
  workspace view.
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  The History function does not work properly in the CBTI BKUPEND
  Eve
  workspace. History data may or may not be returned depending on
  the
  sequence of options selected when using the 'Specify Time Span
  for
  Query' window.
  1. Click the 'Specify Time Span for Query' icon to display the
  options
  window.
  2. Selecting 'Last 25 Hours', 'Use Detailed Data - Recording
  Time'
  returns nothing and the 'Select Time Span for Query' icon
  becomes
  greyed out.
  

Local fix

• Select another workspace from the workspace navigator and then
  reselect
  the krv workspace where the timespan icon was greyed out.
  

Problem summary

• The KRV application workspace view timespan button disables. In
  the CBTI BKUPEND workspace event view, the historical time span
  dialog does not re-enable after selecting and setting historical
   query options.
  

Problem conclusion

• The underlying exception was an index out of bounds exception.
  A for loop against an array holding the column attributes was
  exceeding the size of the array.  Added code to guard against
  the exception.
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
  
    | fix pack | 6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0006
  

Temporary fix

• Step off the current Tivoli Portal workspace by choosing some
  other workspace, them again choose the CBTI BKUPEND workspace,
  the historical time span dialog button will be selectable once
  again.
