Patch 1460 — Fix for Elapsed Time data gap
This patch updates filtrator to fix the data gap problem for the Elapsed Time measurement (e.g.
Elapsed time value is less than 24.00 hours when feature is used for the entire day).
Patch 1414 — Fix for data processing memory issue
General Description:

This patch contains the fix for data processing crash when processing huge amount of data. 

Detailed Description:

Data processing crashes when processing huge amount of data. This issue is caused by Data Filtrator
which is unable to allocate memory ( reached the limit for 32 bit programs ). This patch will update
Data Filtrator to 64 bit so that it can handle huge amount of data processing.

Note: This patch is only valid for 64 bit windows
Patch 1370 — Handling of duplicate data and Daylight Saving Time switch
General Description:

This patch removes duplication of data when licpoll has collected overlapping
files and fix for missing hours after Daylight Saving Time switch.

Detailed Description:

When two or more files was collected from licpoll having the same product,
interval and offset for the same collection period, the first sample would be
duplicated, giving too high values for certain measurements, e.g. max in use.
This has now been compensated for by filtrator, by selecting only one licpoll
file for each interval, offset and product whenever there is samples in the
beginning of the hour.

Report shows missing hours in a 24 hour report. This bug is cause by the recent daylight saving time
switch. This patch will update data processing to handle the Dst switch issue.
Note: You may have to regenerate the data that has been affected by the dst issue.
Patch 1342 — Filtrator updates
General Description:
Fixed processing of flex denied log events to get the denial reason.

Detailed Description:
Sample IBM/Token flex log files shows a different log output which is unknown to filtrator yet. This
results for filtrator to miss the denial reason. The installation of this patch replaces the
filtrator binary to fix the processing of flex denied log events to get the denial reason.
Patch 1302 — Speed up processing of feature set calculation and fix for missing feature records for License Optimizer data
This patch includes the following updates:

*Optimization of feature set calculation
Filtrator is updated to reduce memory use and increase processing speed for olap group concurrency
(data type 95).

*Fix for missing features for License Optimizer data
Some feature records are removed from License Optimizer data. This is caused by errors in processing
License Optimizer's freeze data. This patch fixes the filters and processing done by filtrator.

Affected datatypes:
62 - License Optimizer use
70 - License Optimizer total use
97 - Olap freeze raw hourly
98 - License Optimizer individual usage
99 - License Optimizer usergroups
