OA56399: SITUATION DATA ROWS EXCEED RPC TRANSPORT LIMIT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a Situation goes from Autonomous Mode to TEMS Connected
  Mode  the Situation processing should retrieve the cached data
  for the situation and copy it to a new buffer.  The buffer is
  returned to the caller where data from the current sample  is
  appended to this new buffer, and sent back to the TEMS. The new
  buffer must be large enough to hold both the cached data and
  the  current sample data. For this problem the test to
  determine if the buffer is sufficient size to accommodate is
  incorrectly made, which results in the following error message
  reported in the TEMA log file
  <Situation Name> saved situation data rows exceed RPC transport
  limit, truncated!
  As a result the last Situation data row is not returned to the
  TEMS.
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  Install ITM 630 FP3 TEMS/TEPS/Linux Log File  Agent
  Configure KLO Agent FMT and CFG files to collect Log File data
  Enable the KLO Agent to collect log file data.
  Run KLO Agent and allow connection to  TEMS
  Stop TEMS
  Allow KLO Agent to run in Autonomous Mode for a day
  Start  TEMS
  Observe error message  "<Situation Name> saved situation data
  rows exceed RPC transport limit, truncated!" in the TEMA log
  file when the KLO Agent attempts to upload its cached Situation
  data to the TEMS.

Local fix

• Reduce the amount of attribute data that is gather by the
  Situation.  Implement a Secondary TEMS in the Agent's
  configuration such that when the Agent loses connectivity with
  the Primary TEMS, the Agent does not have to cache as much data
  during its Autonomous Mode period.

  ****************************************************************
  When an agent goes from Autonomous mode to TEMS Connected
  mode, the agent returns a buffer containing the cached data
  and the current sampling data for each situation.  Under
  certain condition, the buffer size is incorrectly computed
  and the buffer is not large enough to hold all the data.
  As a result, the last situation data row is not returned to
  the TEMS.  The following error message appears in the agent
  log:
  <Situation Name> saved situation data rows exceed RPC
  transport limit, truncated!
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was corrected to allocate a buffer size sufficient
  to hold all the data.
