OA44933: OBSERVEDELETED FIELD IN TLIBSYS TABLE NOT ALWAYS BEING UPDATED WHEN LIBRARY IS DELETED.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a library is mark deleted when using FULLREMATCH=Y and
  PLX=N, the FOBSERVEDELTED field is not always updated with a
  date. This occurs if the mirror is deleted before the BASE.

  The mirroring function in V8R1 provides faster and more
  consistent matching by using only one of identical copies
  which may be shared in a Sysplex or are just copies.
  
  Libraries that share the same name and volume in Tivoli Asset
  Discovery for z/OS but are from different systems are
  considered identical in content when it comes to
  identification. The first such library as processed by the
  Inquisitor Import is considered a base, and subsequent
  libraries are considered mirrors which are simply recorded but
  are not processed. In other words, a library is only processed
  on the first system where it is encountered.
  
  If the base for a given library is subsequently deleted and the
  system is presented for processing, only that library is marked
  deleted. Currently the mirrors still show as active in some
  reports until their systems are also processed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The logic has been modified so that all mirrors of a given
  library are marked deleted when the base is marked deleted.
  
  The logic of determining the base has also been improved.
  Previously, the system ID that was first processed
  was selected as the base. While this was true in most cases,
  it is no longer necessarily true when libraries are deleted
  or added to existing systems which may have been processed
  earlier. The new logic uses a mixture of rules to determine
  the best base candidate, and relies more on the scan date.
