Problem summary

• DFS replication event log monitoring not working.
  
  
  When displaying the "Monitored logs" view in Tivoli Enterprise
  Portal, the DFS Replication log is not listed, even if DFS
  Replication is properly working on the system. No situations are
  working if the DFS Replication is indicated as the log name in
  the situation formula. The problem happens when the DFS
  Replication event log is available in the "Applications and
  Services logs" directory of the Windows event viewer.
  
  When one attempts to create a situation using the Tivoli
  Enterprise Portal Situation Editor, the pull-down menu option
  "DFS Replication" is not listed.
  The pull-down menu option only shows "File Replication Service"
  as a selection.
  

Problem conclusion

• The DFS Replication is now monitored and it is listed in the
  pull down menu of the situation editor for the logname
  attribute.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR will be contained in the following
