Abstract
When there is an <appname>_session.soamdb.<timestamp> file generated in the $SOAM_HOME/work/history/ directory, the session history loader reads this file and delays for several hours, causing missing data.

Description
When there is an <appname>_session.soamdb.<timestamp> file generated in the $SOAM_HOME/work/history/ directory, the session history loader delays for several hours to read this file and causes missing data. The session history loader log file shows many errors regarding unique constraint violations.

After applying this fix, there is no data lost and no unique constraint violation errors in the session history loader log.
