Error description
The issue is that the when you look in the job management window the complete time correlates to when the scan completes, not when the scan data is accepted by TPC. The processing time can run for an hour or two. If customer goes off the complete time shown in the management window, they end up overlapping their scans which can result TPC crashing.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Those with TPC 4.2.2 or earlier who are * * scanning filesystems on several agent hosts * * at the same time, e.g. when a filesystem * * scan schedule contained many SRA jobs * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the filesystem scans were * * finished, the Server had to process * * results from many SRAs at the same * * time. This caused delays in * * processing of the individual scan * * results. It could have been up to 2 * * hours for scan data to be processed * * but the job panel displayed a much * * shorter time. That was actually the * * start and end time that the SRAs * * reported. With this change the server * * now sets the end time when the * * processing is finished. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** -
Problem conclusion
With this fix the overall scan time of an individual scan job reflects the actuall time from starting the job until processing of the result has finished. The fix for this APAR is targeted for the following maintenance package: | fix pack | 4.2.2-TIV-TPC-FP0002 - target April 2012 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg21320822 The target dates for future fix packs do not represent a formal commitment by IBM.
