OBJ10780 - EMC DLm Space Utilisation - Object Not Parsed Correctly

Products

• Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Issue/Introduction

The %%DLMDIPFX%%.DLMSPACE flat file gets updated once a day via %%JCLLIB%%(DLMDIJCL) and %%DSNPFX%%.SYSTSCR(DLMDISCR).  This populates the EMC DLm Space Utilisation object (OBJ10780).  However, my understanding is that the flat file is not being parsed properly by CA-Vantage.

To provide more background, the first iteration of DLMDIJCL for MTL03 uses a DISP=OLD to overwrite the flat file with the following DLm command:
 RUNWAIT (600) 501 "QUERY SPACE" "/tapelibSYB1SY" "BFL031.FLAT"

The second iteration of DLMDIJCL for MTL04 uses a DISP=MOD to append to the flat file with the following DLm command:
 RUNWAIT (600) 501 "QUERY SPACE" "/tapelibSYB1W" "BFL041.FLAT"

Effectively, the fields in the object do not seem to match the contents of the flat file.  This seems to be some sort of parsing problem.
