When i check the agent on the target host, there was not any problem and the agent uploads metrics successfully.

Agent is Running and Ready
While i was scratching the OMS console to find a clue about the problem i realized that the target host has been restarted for a week ago and the last upload made by target agent was further then the current date . OMS console shows the last upload date four days future. How could it be? I decided to check the date and TZ environment variable for both target and OMS hosts.
-- target op sys date
[oracle@be02 bin]$ date
Fri Jan 4 14:53:38 EET 2008
-- OMS op sys date
[oracle@oragrid ~]$ date
Fri Jan 4 14:55:40 EET 2008
-- TZ Parameter of target
[oracle@be02 bin]$ echo $TZ
[oracle@be02 bin]$
It seems there is not any problem about the date settings of the host operationg systems. Let's have a look at the agent and OMS timezone regions.
-- Agents Timezone value
[oracle@be02 bin]$ ./emctl config agent getTZ

Turkey
--emd.properties Timezone parameter value
[oracle@be02 config]$ tail -10 emd.properties
# at startup and reload. Currently this applies only to "Critical" marked dynamic
# properties. The following two values are applicable per target and not per
# dynamic property
#
# dynamicPropReComputeInterval --> time difference between a failed dynamic property
# computation and the next try to compute the property in seconds. The default value is 120 seconds.
#
# dynamicPropReComputeMaxTries --> maximum number of reties for calculating failed
# dynamic properties. The default value is 4 retires.
agentTZRegion=Turkey
Timezone values are also the same. There should not be any problem. Then what is the "Status Pending" state and the last upload date of the target in OMS. I decided to reset timezone settings of the agent and the oms.
-- Changing agents timezone

Lets check if everything is OK. When i check the OMS console for the status of the Node_2 of my cluster instance it seems to be recovered from the "Status Pending". Node_2 seems to be up in the cluster instances home page also. Everything went fine but one thing to notice. When i click to Node_2 home page in the OMS console weird thing i noticed. Latest Data Collected changed further than before. It now shows 11 days future for the last upload date. Everything goes fine but i still could not find an answer for this strange issue. Maybe somehow target hosts operating system date changed temporarily by unix administrators or by developers for accidentally or for test purposes and then reset to the current date.
