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.
