    Details:
    When in CAPC and drilling down on NFA data, a time shift may occur in the NFA view if you are not using a GMT time zone.
    For example if you are looking at a view in CAPC that is for 7:30 AM EST to 8:30 AM EST, then drill down on one of the Protocols from a 'Stacked Protocol Trend' chart into NFA, the time frame shown in the NFA view would be shifted to 2:30 AM EST to 3:30 AM EST.
    Solution
    To work around this in CAPC releases 2.3.3 and earlier follow the steps below on the CAPC Server:

    1)SSH to the CAPC server

     

    2)Backup the 'netqosportal' database on CAPC with the command below

     

    mysqldump netqosportal > /tmp/netqosportal.sql

     

    If desired you can change the backup directory to something other than /tmp

     

    3)Navigate to:

    $INSTALLROOT$/PerformanceCenter/SQL/plugins

     

    For example for the default directory:

    cd /opt/CA/PerformanceCenter/SQL/plugins

     

    4)Run the following four commands from this directory one by one:

     

    cp reporter/report_models.xml reporter/report_models.orig

     

             sed -i 's/expandedUtcTimeStart/utcTimeStart:Date(yyyy-MM-dd_HHmm|utc)/g' reporter/report_models.xml

     

    sed -i 's/expandedUtcTimeEnd/utcTimeEnd:Date(yyyy-MM-dd_HHmm|utc)/g' reporter/report_models.xml

     

    ../../Tools/bin/npcshell.sh dbmigrate -package com.ca.im.plugin.nfa -path reporter

     

     

    5)When the last command completes you will get a response like the one

    below:

     

    INFO: ---------- Completed loading package: com.ca.im.plugin.nfa ----------

     

    DbMigrate end (w/ exit status: 0)

     

     

    6)If you see that it was succesful, reload you CAPC view and test the drill down to NFA again.
