Issues associated with periodic data collection
When OpsCenter collects data periodically after every 10 minutes, the following potential problems can be seen in SLP reports.
Consider a scenario when OpsCenter has collected the data for all copies associated with SLP1 which is in progress. However, before the next data collection happens one of the copy entries is removed from the EMM worklist (due to the EMM behavior). In this scenario, OpsCenter marks such copy entries as Complete if the image is SLP-complete during the next data collection cycle.
In this example scenario, you may see the following issues:
For all such copies that OpsCenter marks complete, the SLP Status by Image Copy report does not show any value for the Lag Time and the Copy End Time.
If the last copy entry for an SLP is removed from the EMM worklist (due to EMM behavior), then the SLP Completion Time that is shown in the SLP Status by Image report is inaccurate.
Note:
The same issues are seen if you cancel an SLP that is in progress (like SLP1). These issues occur because all the copy entries associated with this SLP image are deleted from the EMM worklist.
