Also, in the same affected XML files, the COLLECTION_TIMESTAMP is correct for some of the records (even for the same TARGET_GUID) but incorrect for others. Certain metrics have the 2009 date so its not just one particular metric. For example, Instance Throughput (METRIC_GUID = AFAB5DA8631F9AA3309D30DA60969EC9) is showing this problem.

We're getting ORA-14400 errors - "Inserted Partition Key does not map to any partition". The table involved is MGMT_METRICS_RAW which is partitioned by date. The XML files that are being uploaded by this agent contain a COLLECTION_TIMESTAMP of "2009-01-27". There is no partition in MGMT_METRICS_RAW that can handle this data. The agent on the affected box appears to be fine and shows the correct dates when doing a 'emctl status agent'. Does anyone know how the agent generates this 'COLLECTION_TIMESTAMP' when its monitoring a host and/or database. Of course, it's one of our production servers so I can't just remove the monitored targets without a lot of pain of recreating the Grid Control jobs...ugh. Thoughts?
