Gaps or missing data in DPA reports 

Procedure to gather historical data in DPA UI:
Historical data collection is available for the following backup applications: 
Avamar, BackupExec, DB2, HP DataProtector, NetWorker, NetBackup, Oracle RMAN, SAP HANA, and TSM

Historical data collection is limited to the Job Monitor function only. No other functions are supported.   

Classic UI:
From the DPA UI> Inventory> Object Library> Applications> select the Backup Server with missing data> select Data Collection tab> highlight Job Monitor request> right-click the "Run" button> select Gather Historical Data



From the  Gather Historical Data  window> select the time period for missing data. 
DPA Support suggests to NOT run more than 3-5 days worth of historical data collection at a time. 


Click OK.
To check status of data collection click the History button.
Allow data collection to run for a period of time. 
To check if historical data collection has processed, run the DPA Report Card. 
White cells indicate no data was collected for that particular day.
