OK Richard, then why did the propeller heads at IBM decide to use the summary table for collecting stats for the Operational Reporter?
I'm now sitting with ten nodes that don't get reported on, and the number is growing.

It has historically been unreliable. As testament, see the many postings from customers who have wasted their time trying to get reliable data from it. As we keep saying: Use the TSM accounting records as your principal source of data for usage statistics. That's what they are there for, and they reliably contain solid, basic data about sessions. Beyond that, use the Activity Log, the Events table, and client backup logs. Richard Sims, BU This communication is subject to specific restrictions and disclaimers.
