VCF Operations 9.0.0 is displaying the following warning in License Management: "Due Date passed for submitting Usage Report."

Issue/Introduction
License usage not reporting in the UI by navigating to License Management >> Registration >> Generate Usage File, as the system incorrectly generates the file in a .pst format.
This format is invalid and cannot be imported into the VCF Business Services console.
Environment
VCF Operations 9.0x
Cause
The exact cause why the UI generating an invalid .pst file remains undetermined (suspected UI or browser MIME-type bug). However, the underlying usage data generation is fully functional, as the issue with the UI may be bypassed by using the internal API endpoint: /Internal/license-manager/usage/report.
Resolution
Utilizing the API (/Internal/license-manager/usage/report), a properly formatted usage file was generated, which allowed the file to be imported in the business console, and to resolve the reporting issue.
(Note: An alternative method of gathering the usage file via a shell script was also attempted in the environment but was unsuccessful, making the API method the most reliable workaround.)
