RE: Service Agent Problem

I always apply the latest group PTF's whenever the new cume comes out. And, according to the PSP, I am current (Level 5, V5R4) on ESA (SF99316).

Don't know the meaning, but there is a Group PTF specifically for Service
Agent - I try to keep up with it.

Every morning when I first get in one of the things I do is check the
QSYSOPR messages. Not very interesting - usually (when I'm lucky).

Lately I've noticed a message (CPFEF73): Service Agent process ended
abnormally. It says to check out previous messages, but there ain't any
except that it started.

Okay, so I go to the SERVICE menu; run option 14 to display the audit log.
I see that every morning at 04:53 there is a message: InventoryManager:
System Names parameter passed in with no elements.

I searched the three manuals on ESA that I have, the Midrange archives,
Google, and Ask. No hits.

I don't even know if this is a nuisance error or critical. I do know that
the system is calling home because it notified IBM this weekend that our
cache battery needed to be replaced.

Anyone know that this error means? Any links or whatever would be
appreciated.

Thanks.
