Direct links to fixes

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When CacheRules is enabled, and the probe is reading a lookup
table. If I HUP the probe, the $OMNIHOME/var/<rule>.cache file
has an empty lookup table.

Replication steps:
1. Configure simnet.rules with lookup table
table special =
"/opt/netcool/netcool/omnibus/probes/linux2x86/special.lookup"
default = {"0","0","0","0"}
2. Create lookup table file
3. start simnet probe. Note the $OMNIHOME/var/simnet.rulescache
has a populated lookup table, as expected.
4. HUP the probe Note the simnet.rulescache now has an empty
lookup table
