Issue/Introduction

When looking at ISV SCRT file I see many repeated entries of similar product names popping up in both the E5, P5 and Q5 sections.

e.g. Section E5 is giving dozens of entries for the same product.

Cause

The report suffers from excessive "features" that aren't really features.

These excessive features being listed are a result of a bug that is corrected by LU02177. The solution was published on July 27, 2021 

If this (and other SCRT) PTF(s) was deployed during the reporting period then you may still see the problem because the solution needs to be active for the entire reporting period. That is, from the very start of the reporting period.
 
 

Resolution

Install CCS PTF LU02177 and deploy to ALL systems involved with SCRT reporting.

Note: This fix is part of the CCS licensing load module which needs to be running on each and every LPAR

 

 

Additional Information

An SCRT reporting period starts at the beginning of the 2nd day of the month and ends at the end of the 1st day of the subsequent month.
 
If this PTF has already been deployed, the ISV SCRT reports should normalize in the next reporting period.
 
Going forward the reports should return to normal as long as the solution is active on the LPAR for the entire reporting period.
