APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Severity: 2
  Approver: gdc
  Compid: 5724C040U
  Release: 6.2.2
  Abstract: Take Action not executed with FILEINFO attribute
  Environment: The Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS 6.2.2
  
  Problem Description:
  On UNIX the Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS doesn't
  executes the TakeAction related to FILEINFO attribute group when
  there are multiple situations that monitor the same file.
  

Local fix

• This problem does not occur when TEMS evaluate the situation.
  Adding a dummy 'valid formula (tautology)' into the formula to
  make TEMS evaluate the situation will solve this symptom.
  
  Example:
  ========
  *IF *VALUE File_Information.Path *EQ '/tmp/'
    *AND *VALUE File_Information.File *EQ test.txt
    *AND *VALUE File_Information.File_Content_Changed *EQ Yes
    *AND *COUNT Machine_Information.Number_of_Physical_Processors
  *NE 0
  ========
  
  The last term is a dummy to do it.
  

Problem summary

• On UNIX, the monitoring agent for UNIX OS does not execute the
  Take Action related to the FILEINFO attribute group when there
  are multiple situations that monitor the same file.
  

Problem conclusion

• The UNIX OS agent now correctly executes the Take Action.
  
  The fix for this APAR is going to be included in the following
  maintenance vehicle:
