  Install ITM 630 FP5 OS Agent on Linux 64-Bit System
  Execute tacmd addbundles -i <CD-Image/unix> -t tf

  Observe output as kax li6263 remains at 06.23.05.00
  

Local fix

• 1) Set CANDLEHOME to the Tivoli installation directory.
  
  
  2) Set the DEPOTHOME value by running the following commands:
  CELLNAME=`grep CELLNAME $CANDLEHOME/config/.ConfigData/kmsenv |
  grep -v
  '^default|' | cut -f3 -d '|'`
  DEPOTHOME=`grep DEPOTHOME= $CANDLEHOME/tables/$CELLNAME/KBBENV |
  cut -f2
  -d=`[ -z "$DEPOTHOME" ] &&
  DEPOTHOME=$CANDLEHOME/tables/$CELLNAME/depot
  [root@nc09090 bin]# echo $DEPOTHOME
  /opt/IBM/ITM/tables/TEMS/depot
  
  3) Change directory into the TEMS depot directory for the lx8266
  ktf
  6.30 FP5 component.
  cd $DEPOTHOME/PACKAGES/lx8266/ktf/063005000
  
  4) Make a backup copy of the file before modification so that
  you can
  undo this change as desired.
  cp unix/tflx8266.txt unix/tflx8266.txt.save
  
  5) Edit unix/tflx8266.txt
  6) Locate the line containing the string
  "INSTALL_FRAMEWORK_PACKAGE=axlx8263"
  7) Duplicate that line.
   In the first line with "INSTALL_FRAMEWORK_PACKAGE=axlx8263",
  change it
  to "INSTALL_FRAMEWORK_PACKAGE=axli6263".
  9) When completed the list of INSTALL_FRAMEWORK_PACKAGE= lines
  should
  look like the following:
  INSTALL_FRAMEWORK_PACKAGE=axli6263
  INSTALL_FRAMEWORK_PACKAGE=axlx8263
  INSTALL_FRAMEWORK_PACKAGE=axlx8266
  10) Save tflx8266.txt
  
  11) Perform the tacmd updateframework command again.
  [root@nc09090 bin]# ./tacmd updateFramework -n nc09090:LZ -v
  063005000
  
  12) Verify that 'ax li6263' was upgraded using cinfo
  [root@nc09090 bin]# ./cinfo -i
  

Problem summary

• Using the updateframework command to update the Tivoli
  Enterprise Management Agent framework does not update the kax
  component for architecture li6263.  After the update, the kax
  component remains at the prior level.
  

Problem conclusion

• The package that is distributed by the updateagent command did
  not contain the correct architecture information. During the
  build processing, generate the correct package for architecture
  li6263 for use by the updateagent command line command.
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:

Temporary fix

• 1) Set CANDLEHOME to the Tivoli installation directory.
  
  2) Set the DEPOTHOME value by running the following commands:
  CELLNAME=`grep CELLNAME $CANDLEHOME/config/.ConfigData/kmsenv |
  grep -v
  '^default|' | cut -f3 -d '|'`
  DEPOTHOME=`grep DEPOTHOME= $CANDLEHOME/tables/$CELLNAME/KBBENV |

  DEPOTHOME=$CANDLEHOME/tables/$CELLNAME/depot
  [root@nc09090 bin]# echo $DEPOTHOME
  /opt/IBM/ITM/tables/TEMS/depot
  
  3) Change directory into the TEMS depot directory for the lx8266
  ktf 6.30 FP5 component.
  cd $DEPOTHOME/PACKAGES/lx8266/ktf/063005000
  
  4) Make a backup copy of the file before modification so that
