IZ64400: VIEWS ON COPY OF WORKSPACE RETURN NO DATA

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Saving a copy of a product provided workspace located on an
  application group folder results in a new workspace in which the
  views return no data.
  It is not necessary to modify any of the views as described in
  the PMR text.
  Simply saving a copy of the workspace results in the problem.
  
  Detailed Recreation Procedure:
  - select a product provided workspace on an application group
  folder
  (ie. the "VMWare VI" folder for the VMWare application)
  - select File/Save Workspace and save the workspace with a new
  name
  - navigate away from the application group folder
  - navigate back to the application group folder and select the
  new
  workspace
  
  No data will appear in the views on the workspace

Local fix

• Change the selection under the Query Results Tab from "Let
  System Assign Automatically" to "Let User Assign Explicitly".
  Then manually assign the correct systems.  In the case of the
  "VMWare VI" workspace, select the ESX agents instead of the VM
  agent.
  

Problem summary

• The NODES constraint which indicates the query results source
  setting (implicit here) did not have the persistent bit set.
  This caused the NODES constraint to be removed when the new
  workspace was being saved.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added code to check if the NODES constraint has been set and if
  yes to set the persistent bit if it has not been set already.
  
  See QuerySelectionDialog.saveQueryResultSource() where NODES
  constraint is added and set to be persistent. Also see
  Context.saveContext() where any constraints that are NOT
  persistent are removed.
  
  The fix for this APAR is included in the following maintenance
  vehicle:
      | fix pack | 6.2.1-TIV-ITM-FP0002
      | fix pack | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0002
  

Temporary fix

• Change the selection under the Query Results Source tab to  "Let
  user assign explicitly" and press OK button (leave Assigned
  MS/MSLs alone). Go back to Query Results Source tab panel and
  change the selection back to "Let system assign automatically"
  and press OK. Save workspace changes.
