General Description: A bug in Unix Core Server can cause missing periodic reports under certain circumstances. Detailed Description: When the Unix Core Server is configured with WEEKLY_REPORT_WAIT_DAYS, it may not work if the period to be reported on is in the previous year. It can only happen in the beginning of January. This patch has a fix for Server.pm to solve this problem.
When the jobscheduler was introduced, the timing of the other backend processes needs to be updated. The archiving is now completely decoupled from the database processing. This is done in the Unix server daemon with this patch.
General Description: This patch contains fix for incomplete output of hostid program in RHEL 7. Detailed Description: In RHEL 7, hostid outputs an incomplete id. This patch contains an updated Config.pm which is used by the hostid program to generate an id. Only the Config.pm file should be updated. Once this patch has been applied, hostid will now generate a correct host id.
