Non APAR Defect 13042 - ISM agent doesn't start after upgrading Windows Box

Problem Description
The Windows ISM agent is stopped after an upgrade.
Root cause
The installer does not support changes to define old and new agent registry keys.
Workaround
Reconfigure the ISM agent after the upgrade to resolve the problem.

Non APAR Defect 10767 - ISM support file upgrades overwrites ismconfig.props

Problem Description
ISM support files upgrades overwrite ismconfig.props. Note: ISM monitor props files are NOT overwritten.
Root cause
The installer does not support not overwriting ismconfig.props.
Workaround
Backup the ismconfig.props file before performing an upgrade of ISM support.

Non APAR Defect 13701 - ismconfig.cmd fails to accept multiple white space enclosed in quotes(") in SOAP parameters

Problem Description
ismconfig.cmd truncates multiple white spaces in SOAP parameters. For example the following SOAPInputs: @SOAPInputs [itinerary:{from:string,dest:string}[]=[{from='Perth,\" \",Australia',dest='Sydney'}]]"
Root cause
This problem is due to the command line interpretation of escaping the quotation character.
Workaround
Write command into a text file and use the ismconfig.cmd -file command to import the command(s).

Non APAR Defect 14498 - Internet Service Monitor 7.3.0.1 upgrade fails with no existing image to upgrade error

Problem Description
When upgrading the ISM the upgrade can fail with the following error:
mkdir: 0653-357 Cannot access directory /opt/IBM/ITM/licenses.
/opt/IBM/ITM/licenses: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
cp: /opt/IBM/ITM/licenses/isv730: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
KCIIN2593E
The CD you are trying to install is a fixpack CD and cannot be installed on a machine without an existing image to upgrade.

Root cause
The installation script expects the following directory to exist in the previous installation: $CANDLEHOME/licenses

If this doesn't exists it cannot detect the previous ISM installation correctly causing the upgrade to stop.

Workaround
Create the $CANDLEHOME/licenses directory and re-run the installation.
Refer to the technote for more information.

Known limitations

Non APAR Defect 16289 - Remote Upgrade

Problem Description
Remote upgrades using the tacmd updateAgent command on Linux x86_64 fails. Please use a local installation for this Operating System.

Change of Summarized Data

Problem Description
After upgrading earlier versions of the ISM application, summarized data may not be visible, since the summarization behaviour has changed. This issue can be resolved by re-summarizing your existing detailed data. Please refer to this technote for more information.

SOAP Monitor Does Not Support Nested Arrays or multiRef Values

Problem Description
The SOAP monitor is unable to handle parameters containing nested (two or more dimension) arrays or those that are referenced externally in the 'multiRef' style.

Installation information

For Windows installation, if you encounter the message "Another version of this product is already installed" follow the instructions in the following support document to diagnose and resolve the problem. Note that although this technote refers to ITM, the diagnosing and resolving steps are applicable to ITCAM for Transactions Internet Service Monitoring.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21587068

Prior to installation

The update installer should perform the following steps for you automatically. You can, if necessary, perform them manually.

  1. Stop ITM agents and infrastructure (including TEMS and TEPS).
  2. Ensure the Databridge and Monitors have stopped.

1. Stop ITM agents and infrastructure (including TEMS and TEPS):
The ITM agents and infrastructure only need to be stopped when either the application support packages are being installed or ISM is being installed on the ITM machine. If ISM is being installed on a machine that does not contain any ITM infrastructure, the ITM infrastructure does not need to be stopped.

Use the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services (MTEMS) dialog or the command line tools (`ITM\bin\tacmd` or `ITM/bin/itmcmd`) to stop any running ITM agents or infrastructure (including TEMS and TEPS).

On Windows systems, you can start the MTEMS application from your Start menu or by running `ITM\InstallITM\kinconfg.exe`. Alternatively, if you have installed ITM, use the command `ITM\bin\tacmd stopAgent <type>`.

On UNIX systems, you can run MTEMS using the `ITM/bin/itmcmd manage` command. Alternatively, use the commands `ITM/bin/itmcmd agent stop <type>` and `ITM/bin/itmcmd server stop <TEMS name>`.

2. Ensure the Databridge and Monitors have stopped:
When the KISAgent is stopped, it automatically signals for the monitors and databridge to be shutdown. If this does not occur or has been disabled by configuration changes, you may need to perform this step manually.

On Windows systems use the Windows Services dialog to look for any 'NCO * Internet Service Monitor' services. To stop the databrige and monitors ensure that each of these 'NCO *' services are stopped.

On UNIX systems run `ps -ef |grep nco_m_` and issue a `kill <pid>` command for each entry shown. If the databridge or monitors were heavily loaded, they may take some time to shutdown. You may also use `kill -9 <pid>` to immediately stop the databridge or monitors, but this may result in loss or corruption of data being processed.

Installing

This maintenance package is applied directly to the Tivoli Enterprise Management Agent (TEMA). In addition, apply application support from this interim fix to the following ITM components:

  • - Tivoli Enterprise Management Servers (TEMS), including any remote or failover TEMS configurations
  • - Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS)
  • - Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP), including any locally installed desktop TEP clients

On Windows systems, extract the files from the archive and double-click WINDOWS\setup.exe. Follow the prompts to install the update.

On UNIX systems, extract the installer from the archive using the tar -xvf <filename.tar> command. Then, execute the installer using the ./install.sh command. Follow the prompts to install the update.

It is also possible to deploy this interim fix remotely using ITM TEMS depot and tacmd AddBundles command. For more information, please refer to the ITCAM for Transactions v7.3.0.1 Installation and Configuration Guide, available here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS5MD2_7.3.0.1/com.ibm.itcamt.doc_7.3.0.1/rt/Install_Guide/remotedeploy.html

Installing application support for TEPS/TEMS
For each monitoring agent installed, you must install agent-specific application support on IBM Tivoli Monitoring components. You can choose to install application support on all components at one time, or you can install the application support on components separately. If installing components separately, the following order is recommended:

  1. Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
  2. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
  3. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop Client
  4. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Browser client (for Linux and UNIX Only)
The procedure for installing agent-specific application support on the components is similar to installing the monitoring agent. The main difference is to select the application support components required.

Note: When installing application support any ITM components on the current machine is automatically stopped, including any TEMS or TEPS. Follow the Starting and stopping servers and agents guide to manually stop ITM agents and infrastructure. You should warn other users before beginning the installation.

For step by step application support installation information refer to the documentation:
Installing Internet Service Monitoring on Windows systems
Installing on Linux or UNIX systems

Performing the necessary tasks after installation

A successful installation modifies the ISM version to 7.3.0.1. Ensure that the Version of Internet Service Monitoring in the MTEMS is '07.30.01.34'.

On Windows the installation logs are written to the following directory:
ITM\InstallITM\

On Unix the installation logs are written to the following directory:
ITM/logs/

Uninstalling if necessary

This maintenance package cannot be rolled back.

On Windows, you must run the following command prior to uninstalling the product to remove the Windows Services created during the install:
ITM\TMAITM6\ism\platform\win32\bin\preuninstall.cmd
The product may then be removed using the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs.

On UNIX,the product may be removed using the script:
ITM/bin/uninstall.sh

For detailed instructions, please refer to the ITCAM for Transactions v7.3.0.1 Installation and Configuration Guide, available here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS5MD2_7.3.0.1/com.ibm.itcamt.doc_7.3.0.1/ism/dita/ag/topic/ISM_uninstall_chapter.html

New Features

The following new features are included in ITCAM for Transactions Internet Service Monitoring 7.3.0.1 Interim Fix 34:

7.3.0.1 Interim Fix 34 modified the default behaviour to disable the EXPORT (EXP) ciphers in all monitors. To enable the EXP ciphers, update the monitor properties: SSLCipherSuite and BridgeSSLCipherSet . For example, to enable EXP ciphers in the HTTPS monitor, update the https.props file to include: SSLCipherSuite : "AES:RC4:3DES:DES:EXP"
BridgeSSLCipherSet : "AES:RC4:3DES:DES:EXP"
The following new features are included in ITCAM for Transactions Internet Service Monitoring 7.3.0.1 Interim Fix 32 (Included in Interim Fix 34):
ISM 7.3.0.1 Interim Fix 32 modified the default behaviour to disable the SSLv2 and SSLv3 protocols in all monitors. To enable SSLv2/SSLv3, update the monitor properties: SSLDisableSSLv2 and SSLDisableSSLv3 . For example, to enable SSLv2 and SSLv3 in the HTTPS monitor, update the https.props file to include: SSLDisableSSLv2 : 0
SSLDisableSSLv3 : 0
The following new features are included in ITCAM for Transactions Internet Service Monitoring 7.3.0.1 Interim Fix 30 (Included in Interim Fix 34):
ISM 7.3.0.1 Interim Fix 30 added the ability to verify SSL certificates in the HTTP(s), IMAP4, LDAP, POP3, SIP, SMTP and SOAP monitors. This is disabled by default. To enable this, modify the verifycertificate flag in the profile element. SSL certificate trust stores are defined by the monitor properties: SSLTrustStoreFile and SSLTrustStorePath . The default values are: SSLTrustStoreFile : "$ISMHOME/certificates/trust.pem"
SSLTrustStorePath : "$ISMHOME/certificates/"
