Error description
Get PM report via getrpt cmd from 2 different TPC servers had inconsistent daily 24-hour data output. The way the get PM report for 24-hour period suppose to work for 4.2.1 and prior to 4.2.1 are as follows: * If requested perf report from 12 AM for 24 hours (12 AM to 11:59PM) for that day. The output of getrpt cmd (or gui output) would depend on where the getrpt is run (or if the gui is remote or local to TPC server) * If getrpt/gui is run from the same timezone as the server, then only one day of data is shown (12 AM to 11:59 PM). * However, if getrpt/gui is run from a computer that is in a different timezone than the TPC server, then the 24 hour data really spans 2 days. * In TPC 4.2, the output would show 2 days of data due to the 24-hour spans more than one day (say from 3 AM to 2:59AM the next day, if timezone difference is 3 hours). * Prior to 4.2, output would only shown one day, no cross over to next (or prior) day.
