PI94383: 6.2.7 AGENTS ARE CREATED AS OFFLINE FROM THE ENVIRONMENT BLUEPRINT AGENT PROTOTYPE PATTERN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The newly created agents used to have in v6.2.4 the following
  Status : N/A (Waiting for provisioned node).
  
  After the upgrade to v6.2.7.0 the created agent gets Status :
  Offline. This is also observed in v6.2.6.1.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) UCD UI tab Applications > 'testApp' > sub-tab Blueprints
  2) Create Blueprint 'testBlueprint' (with default selection, no
  parent template),
  select  on the root resource 'testBlueprint' Actions, then Add
  Agent Prototype,
  enter Agent Name Patterns:
  ${p:application.name}-${p:environment.name}-1
  ${p:application.name}-${p:environment.name}-2
  ...
  Click Save
  

Local fix

• From the agent list, whether or not the agent has a "Last
  Contact" timestamp will indicate whether or not it has been
  provisioned.
