Before you install this hot fix, do the following:

 1. Log in to the Enterprise Reporter console.

 2. In the Enterprise Reporter console,   click:

    Data Management > Data Rollup Configuration > Status

    Enterprise Reporter host to reach the Oracle host by using the tnsping utility.

=================
Additional Notes:
=================
 This hot fix includes the following bug fixes and enhancements:


* ETL Changes

  - The Ability to merge duplicate data in multi-site environment 
      Enterprise Reporter now supports the ability to roll up data about the same storage array or LUN from multiple data sources. 
      For example, two CommandCentral Storage Management Servers might discover the same storage array. If you roll up data from
      both of the Management Servers, Enterprise Reporter provides accurate information about the storage array.

  - Chargeback for file systems and volumes on virtual machines
	You can now use the metrics in the Chargeback Analysis package to retrieve usage data for file systems and volumes on 
        virtual	machines.


* GUI Changes

  - Enterprise Reporter now correctly detects CommandCentral Storage 5.2 sources.

  - Enterprise Reporter now detects .CCS esmweb HF. sources and corrects for any existing sources.


* Report Changes

  - Modified SAN chargeback summary report

    The report now uses 'Adjusted Allocated Capacity' instead of 'capacity allocated to host directly'. The total cost and physical
    capacity now use the same formula to calculate adjusted cost and adjusted physical capacity.



============
Known Issues
