This patch: - fixes the problem with "add --redo" - fixes the problem with overloaded server because of check_and_split_data - adds a directive in openit.cfg, "COMPRESSION", which will default to "global=none,temp=none". By setting the temp to "gzip", and restarting the server, temporary files in the server will be compressed with gz format. - modifies Archiver to handle .gz incoming files besides of plain .in files - makes a directory for incoming/archiver and moves archiver files into it to speed up processing of check_and_split_data to avoid overloading of server. - fixes issue with check_and_split_data failing to process files with timed out lock - fixes issue with check_and_split_data hanging if lock files are accumulated in the incoming directory The following perl modules, scripts, and binaries are updated: * Config.pm * DataLoader.pm * DataTypes.pm * Defaults.pm * File.pm * FileHelper.pm * FileLock.pm * FileObject.pm * Server.pm * Protocol.pm * add * check_and_split_data * merge_raw_data * filtrator * archiver * calcchecksum * summasummarum merge_psm_data is added to support compression of temporary data in the server.
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.
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.
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.
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.
