  ABSTRACT:             Distributions through "All Managed
  Systems" not
  distributing
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Distritutions for a situation group through a distribution group
  create
  under "All Managed Systems" are not being distributed to any
  system.
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
   1) Create a UA situation and an NT situation. Each of these
  have no
      distributions.
   2) Open Object Group Editor
   3) Select "Manage System" and then selected "All Managed
  Systems" from
      within that.
   4) Press "new" to begin creating a new manager system group.
   5) Put UA agents and NT agents into the new group
   6) Pressed the "Apply" button to save the managed system group.
   7) Then select Situation in the Object Group Editor.
   8) Press the "new" button to create a new situation group.
   9) Add UA and NT situations created in step 1 above.
  10) Select the distribution tab.
  11) Add the group created earlier to the distribution for this
      situation group.
  12) Pressed the "Apply" button to save the situation group.
  13) Check distributions for the situation and you will see that
  the
      distribution to the members of the "All Managed Systems"
  group did
      not occur.
  

Local fix

• Distribute the situations to the "All managed systems"
  distribution
  group in the situation editor.
  

Problem summary

• Distributions through "All Managed Systems" are not being
  distributed.
  
  Situation groups distributed through a distribution group
  created under "All Managed Systems" are not getting distributed
  properly.  This results in situations within the situation group
  not running on the expected target systems.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been corrected to allow distributions to occur.
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
  
    | fix pack | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0008
    | fix pack | 6.2.3-TIV-ITM-FP0002
  

Temporary fix

• Do not distribute a situation to an "All Managed Systems"
  distribution group.  Use other distribution methods instead.
