Abstract:  A header is missing in the ServerPowerConsumptionStatsCache log.

Description/symptom of problem:  
PM17221 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
The ServerPowerConsumptionStatsCache log time stamp requires two
columns, but it is written with one column only. Even though    
data is not lost, the time stamp being written in one column    
does result in a bad header and a mismatch between the header   
and data.                                                       

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
N/A                                                             

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of WebSphere Virtual Enterprise
who are using the visualization data service

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
A header is missing in the
ServerPowerConsumptionStatsCache log.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When writing the header for the
ServerPowerConsumptionStatsCache log, one column header is not
included.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The code was fixed to properly include all of the appropriate   
headers.                                                        
                                                                
This fix will be included in the next available fix pack for    
WebSphere Virtual Enterprise.
