IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.2.2 Fix Pack 8 (6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0008)
IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.2.2 Fix Pack 9 (6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0009)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Old deployment requests and their storage not getting cleaned up
  (they were KDYDPLY requests KDYDYST requests) leads to TEMS
  crash due to failure to allocate further memory
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• After running "cleardeploystatus -g <transaction>" many times
  (~4,000) the HUB management sever runs out of memory and
  abnormally terminates.
  
  Executing deployment commands, including the cleardeploystatus
  command uses SQL1 resources but does not release them when the
  deployment operation is complete.  This can result in the HUB
  management server running out of memory and abnormally
  terminating.
  

Problem conclusion

• In all cases where a SQL Request is issued, make sure there is a
  corresponding Close and Drop on the request issued.
  
  
  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

• Limit use of cleardeploystatus command to cleanse the deployment
  queues.  Use the -a, -s or -f options of the command to remove
  completed deployments rather for each deployment transaction
  (-g).
