It is possible to receive the following warning message in IT Resource
Management (ITRM) for tables XTC2TSK and XTC2DBD:

   WARNING: Invalid value for DATETIME

This is because for tables XTC2TSK and XTC2DBD, DATETIME is associated
with the external variable name CREATIME, and it is possible that
CREATIME may contain missing values.

The circumvention is to use CPDDUTL to update the external name of the
DATETIME variable in tables XTC2TSK and XTC2DBD using the following
CPDDUTL control statements:

   SET TABLE
       NAME=XTC2TSK ;

   UPDATE VARIABLE
       NAME= DATETIME
          EXTNAME=STRTTIME;
   SET TABLE
       NAME=XTC2DBD ;

   UPDATE VARIABLE
       NAME= DATETIME
          EXTNAME=STRTTIME;


This will not affect existing data in the PDB, but once new data is
subsequently processed, reports may show gaps or overlaps where the
DATETIME variable has been changed.

The reference to the external variable will be changed in a future
release of IT Service Vision.
