The database aggregation of Windows Application Usage (data type 31) failed to include some records with Count=0. This has been fixed. To restore the data in the database, run as the "openit" user: /opt/openit/bin/add --propagate --redo --datatype 31 --resolution <res> <res> is the base resolution of the data type. Usually it is 300. Check from <database-dir>/31/M/*/*/*/<res>/. NOTE: This operation will temporarily increase the size of the database folder for this data type. Check with du <database-dir>/31 -s (or something similar) and multiply with three. This is the free disk needed for the operation. NOTE-2: The C++ summasummarum is turned on by default by this patch. If it is not wanted, turn it off by running: chmod a+x /opt/openit/libexec/bin/summasummarum chmod a-x /opt/openit/libexec/*/bin/summasummarum
The aggregation of storage data use to be treated with the so called TIMEAVG aggregation type. The way of processing this type of data was not correct. It has now been corrected. Date formatting in Excel has been fixed. For this fix to take effect, REPORTS_EXCEL_CHART_TEXT <something> has to be removed from /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg. NOTE: If the database has been manually loaded with the same data (same day) multiple times, it is necessary to do an update of the data in the database. NOTE-2: This patch should give the same functional update as patch #549. But it is needed if C++ summasummarum is used: The C++ summasummarum is turned on by default by this patch. If it is not wanted, turn it off by running: chmod a+x /opt/openit/libexec/bin/summasummarum chmod a-x /opt/openit/libexec/*/bin/summasummarum

Support for daily and weekly data from client laying in a time zone east of the server. Such data used to be shifted to an earlier time stamp. Now the client data of day and week interval is converted to 11:00 UTC. This is converted back to localtime 00:00 on the server.
The config_license_filters did not correctly handle the addition of SAM suite data types provided by patch 458 and from release 5.2.2. When updating filters for data types that exists in more than one archive type (i.e licpoll2 and samcollect) it will randomly overwrite filters from one archive type over filters from the other when trying to update configuration. The regenerate_data program failed to handle white space at end of data_generation_config lines. This is fixed by this patch.
This patch just updates the "add" program of the server to include the "--propagate" option needed to enforce recreation of aggregated data files. It is only needed when manually modified data on highest resolution is to be aggregated.
Measurement values were not aggregeted when "Max in use" or "Max of all" were selected in license reports. This has now been fixed.

This patch includes a summasummarum written in C++. For 64bit platforms it will be able to use more memory than 4GB. This may be needed in large installations. This patch is probably most useful on servers, although it can also be installed on clients.
When license data types where created (65-70), the loading process did not check if these data types should be handled as other license data types so it would accumulate data instead of replacing after (re)generation. This patch updates add so it checks correctly for these local data types by looking at definitions in the /var/opt/openit/etc/data_generation_config file.
