Error description

• APAR Type:            Field
  
  Approver Initials:    bs
  Severity:             4

  ABSTRACT:             Disable node multi select for override
  editor
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  
  The ability to multi select nodes in the Tivoli Enterprise
  Portal override editor navigator tree should be disabled.  While
  the editor tree allows you to multi select nodes there is no
  support in the cooresponding panels for setting overrides to
  more than one node at a time.  The documentation for this panel
  also needs to be updated to reflect this.
  
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  
  REPRODUCTION
  Customer used multiple instances of Agentless LZ agent - suspect
  similar can be observed with alternatives.
  
  Create 3 instances of Agentless LZ Agent.  IE, so MTEMS shows
    Agentless Monitoring for Linux OS   LZ_INSTANCE1
                                        LZ_INSTANCE2
                                        LZ_INSTANCE3
  
  Open TEP / Situation Editor
  Create situation under Angetless Linux OS group
  Set distribution to MSL (IBM_RLINUXOS)
  Open Overrides windows
  Expand tree on LHS to see the 3 instances created above.
  Select ALL of the instances (1 through 3)
  Note - 1st is BLUE, remainder have a BOX around them
  Modify the value creating the override
  APPLY the change
  Now SELECT ONLY one instance on the LHS.  Confirm if change has
  been
  observed
  Now SELECT A DIFFERENT instance.  confirm if change has been
  made.
