  • Product: IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager
Release: 61.1 FP4
Severity: 2

Problem Description: IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.1

TBSM logs do not clearly show when a template's output
expression is referencing missing rules.

Template has Boolean Expression


WWCRule.Value = 3) OR (CBS2CBS.Value = Marginal) OR
(CBS2CBS.Value =
Bad) OR (SCR2CBS.Value = Marginal) OR (SCR2CBS.Value = Bad) OR
(BBS2CBS.Value = Marginal) OR (BBS2CBS.Value = Bad)

but some of the rules are missing.

The issue was with a Boolean Expression set in template 95. See
in blue
below. As you can see the expression references 3 rules:
WWCRule,
CBS2CBS, SCR2CBS and BBS2CBS. The latter 3 of these are missing
from the
 template. They were probably there before when the expression
was
created but removed later.

The logging shows the code successfully reading details for
rule WWCRule
. But when it comes to CBS2CBS,we get nulls. See below.
