Patch 2036 — Fix for archiver crash
General description: Improvement on archiver intermittently crashing

Detailed description: Archiver crashes due to incorrect timing of communication with jobscheduler in
some machines due to cleanup issues on a thread that was already exited. The installation of this
patch fxes this issue.

Note that archiver for ppc64-ibm-aix5.1.0.0 is not included in this patch.
Patch 2025 — 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 2016 — Fix for wrong data under hostname field
General Description: Data under host name field shows port number.

Detailed Description: 

The field for host name shows port number when generating licpoll archives with version 2.4. This is
caused by faulty parsing of filtrator. This patch will update and fix this parsing issue.

Note:  You may need to regenerate affected database data. 
Patch 2011 — Fix for data generation of licenseevents datatypes
General Description: Data processing of licenseevents data fails. 

Detailed Description: Archiver was able to archive licenseevents datatypes but it failed to identify
and produce the correct filtration process inducing data generation of licenseevents datatypes to
fail. This patch will update achiver so that it can properly create the appropriate filtration
process.
