PM55888: MULTIPLE REPORTS PRODUCED WHEN INTERVAL PROCESSING IS REQUESTED (I.E. START/STOP TIMES ARE SPECIFIED WITHOUT DATE)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a Start/Stop time is specified in IMS PA without a Date
  this implies that multiple days input is to be read and
  individual reports produced for the specified time period each
  day. IMS PA starts collecting data at the start of the specified
  time period and forces EOF processing to produce the requested
  reports, including flushing incomplete transactions, at the end
  of the specified time period. In some circumstances EOF may not
  be signaled to the transit engine at the end of the specified
  time period, in this case when IMS PA reaches EOJ any incomplete
  transactions are passed to the report processors, which may
  result in additional reports.
  In this client's case, the result seen was a transaction being
  reported two times (with different counts) on the Management
  Exception Summary reports.

Problem conclusion

• Ensure the transit engine flushes any incomplete transactions
  when EOF is signalled for the completion of a report interval.
