Problem: Unable to rescan vCenter application with version 2.14.205.

Cause:

There is an issue with the DataTTL column when setting the rescan for vCenters. Even though the value is set to 1 (which is the value for daily rescan) there rescan is happening.

To view the last successful scan date use

Select * From ApplicationScanHistory where ApplicationID in (Select ApplicationID From Application where applicationTypeEnumID = 12)
Order by LastSuccessfulDate

Confirm the vCenter is ApplicationTypeEnumID = 12

 

Resolution:

Set up a SQL Server Agent Job to run Daily,Weekly or Monthly

Job executes:

UPDATE ApplicationScanHistory SET AttemptCount = 1, NextScanDate = GETDATE()
WHERE ApplicationID IN
(SELECT ApplicationID FROM Application WHERE ApplicationTypeEnumID = 12)

 


Or Run the patch included

Line 44-55 has been added.


	-- Reset any Application that DataTTL has expired since the last scan attempt
	UPDATE dbo.[ApplicationScanHistory]
		SET [AttemptCount] = @MaxFailures-1
	WHERE [ApplicationScanHistoryID]IN
		(
			SELECT [ApplicationScanHistoryID]
			FROM [ApplicationScanHistory] ash WITH( NOLOCK )
			JOIN [Application] a WITH( NOLOCK ) ON a.[ApplicationID] =ash.[ApplicationID]
			WHERE ([ServiceTypeEnumID] = @ServiceTypeEnumID
				AND a.[DataTTL] is not null 
				AND DATEADD(DAY, a.[DataTTL], ash.[LastAttemptDate]) <= @CurrentDate)
				AND ash.[AttemptCount] >= @MaxFailures);
