Error description

• The aixDataProvider-61 process might core dump after receiving
  an ODM error.  The
  <hostname>_px_aixDataProvider-61_<timestamp>_01.log might have
  one of these two messages:
  
  ------------------------------------

                                 odm_get_list(): CFG_ODM_ACCESS.
