PI96023: DATA DUPLICATION ERROR RETRIEVING CA7 DATA FROM MAINFRAME.

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Retrieving the CA-7  can be set to work in two ways from 'AD
  Build Configuration/Server': 'In memory' and 'Via dataset'.
  Due to the large amount of data to process that trigger a
  time-out, a '*' request was split by default in 29 requests
  (one for each alphabet letter and two special chars, e.g. :
  'A*', 'B*', ...'Z*', etc).
  However when requesting data 'Via dataset' this field seems to
  be ignored by the MF agents (Calin still waited for a
  confirmation from Moshe on 30th of March 2018) and all the jobs
  configured on Mainframe (same ones) were returned for each
  request. That's why the duplication.
  

Local fix

• This was fixed by not splitting a request anymore for 'Via
  dataset' mode for version 5.0.4.2. (30th March 2018 release).
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Build Server
  * Application Discovery Build Server
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The customer (AirFrance) is stating that
  * the jobs submitted - approx ~27 - are duplicates of each
  * other, with the same input.  These jobs were supposed to be
  * handling the sequential processing of the 'wildcard'
  * parameter. Customer is using the following parameters in the
  * submitted job, so we only process a subset of the CA7 job
  * estate:
  * /LOGON
  * LJOB,JOB=HRFZ*,LIST=ALL
  * /LOGOFF
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply Application Discovery 5.0.4.2
