Duplicate entries in Agent Plugin Inventory after updating to Deployment Solution 8.8.1

Products

• Client Management Suite

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to Deployment Solution 8.8.1, duplicate entries appear in the **Agent Plugin Inventory** table. Typically, one entry is correctly populated with values, while the second entry remains empty. This issue can cause scripts that utilize the `ModelNumber` token to fail or behave unexpectedly because they may retrieve the empty value instead of the correct model information.

Environment

ITMS/DS 8.8.1

Cause

A known defect in the inventory gathering process was introduced in version 8.8.1. This defect results in redundant rows being created in the backend inventory tables for agent plugins.

Resolution

A permanent fix for this issue is targeted for the Deployment Solution 8.8.2 release.

Until the upgrade to version 8.8.2 is available, users may need to adjust scripts that rely on the `ModelNumber` token or other inventory-based tokens to specifically filter out empty or null values.
