SYMPTOMS
If you use the Zscript set command to reset the zcDsLastUpdateTime or zcDsLastImportTime attribute, the command is ignored. The timestamp value is incremented at the end of the management agent run.

For example, this is a partial sample from the Mascript.scr script that uses the Zscript set and vset commands that are designed to reset the timestamp attributes. The echo statements in the code show the values of the attributes in the log. echo zcDsLastUpdateTime = %zcDsLastUpdateTime% VSET oldDSLastUpdateTime = %zcDsLastUpdateTime% echo oldDSLastUpdateTime = %oldDSLastUpdateTime%
 * 1) Setting the zcDsLastUpdateTime rollback time

echo zcDsLastImportTime = %zcDsLastImportTime% VSET oldDSLastImportTime = %zcDsLastImportTime% echo oldDSLastImportTime = %oldDSLastImportTime% ... IF %error% THEN echo ************************************************* echo ** Discovery of users failed echo *************************************************
 * 1) Setting the zcDsLastImportTime rollback time

#Rolling back LastUpdateTime echo zcDsLastUpdateTime = %zcDsLastUpdateTime% echo oldDSLastUpdateTime = %oldDSLastUpdateTime% SET zcDsLastUpdateTime = %oldDSLastUpdateTime% echo zcDsLastUpdateTime = %zcDsLastUpdateTime%

#Rolling back LastImportTime echo zcDsLastImportTime = %zcDsLastImportTime% echo oldDSLastImportTime = %oldDSLastImportTime% SET zcDsLastImportTime = %oldDSLastImportTime% echo zcDsLastImportTime = %zcDsLastImportTime%

exit ENDIF These are the results from the management agent log:  First debug echo:

zcDsLastUpdateTime = 020528100011+0200.00

oldDSLastUpdateTime = 020528100011+0200.00

zcDsLastImportTime = 020528120033+0200.00

oldDSLastImportTime = 020528120033+0200.00

 Second debug echo:

zcDsLastUpdateTime = 020528204551+0200.00

oldDSLastUpdateTime = 020528100011+0200.00

zcDsLastUpdateTime = 020528204551+0200.00

zcDsLastImportTime = 020619160559+0200.00

oldDSLastImportTime = 020528120033+0200.00

zcDsLastImportTime = 020619160559+0200.00



The set command does not reset the time. The time is incremented at the end of the management Agent run.
