IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT)

HI,

Daily we do a scan of our machines and up load to S3. On a periodic basis we then upload and import to ILMT.

Unfortunately, there was a period when this wasn't working and we have a data gap (a months worth). However, we have since imported a new scan so, when I try to fill in the month data - by importing the missing scan files. ILMT rejects them with an error of "given disconnected computer newer scan results was already processed". So, I'm left with this gap in my results but I have the data to upload.

So, how do I get ILMT to accept the data that fills the gap ??

thanks,

john.

Hi,

There is no way to process the disconnected package from some earlier period before the latest processed scan.

Hmm, Can I delete the more recent scans and then replay them all from the beginning?

thanks !

Hello,

To delete the scan timestamp you'd have to directly play with ILMT database.
I strongly advice against it unless directed by support team. 

Just keep those missing scan files to have them for auditing (it should be enough to keep the Compliance Team happy)
