Description

The included summasummarum will check every record it processes and
skip records with incorrect format, i.e. missing fields or too many
fields. It will give warnings to indicate which fields has been
skipped.

Also, two new options are included to allow activation of behavior on
client and server. This behavior will be triggered by patch 591 and
592.

NOTE: 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

Patch 526 — Time zone fix for C++ 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.
Patch 489 — C++ summasummarum 
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.

Installation

Unpack tar file in e.g /tmp/patch on the Open iT server/client. Do the 
following as root:
