1 The metric collection interval can not synchronize the time specified by SYNCVAL value in the following condition:
- When the operator changes only INTVAL value (SYNCVAL value is unchanged).
2 The metric collection program does not recognize changes to the SMF global recording
intervals. The symptom occurs when SYNCSMF is activated for the second time such as following condition.
- The INTERVAL parameter value is changed in this respective order SYNCSMF -> manual(INTVAL and SYNCVAL) -> SYNCSMF.
Known problems
