IZ45340: DATA FOR AGENTS CONNECTED TO REMOTE TEMS NOT COLLECTED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  ITM 6.2 FP1 and higher
  One or more RTEMS with agents connected
  TADDM
  
  Problem Description:
  ITM DLA utility does not collect all attributes from agents
  connected to a remote TEMS.  An example would be the MAC address
  of the network adapter on the system.  The query sent by the DLA
  returns zero rows.
  
  Detailed Recreation Procedure:
  - Set up required environment. TADDM not required; DLA trace and
    resulting XML file can be used to recreate/verify.
  - Run the ITM DLA utility
  
  Related Files and Output:
  DLA output file (CNPS\tmsdla\tmsdla_xxx.xml by default)
  DLA log file

Local fix

Problem summary

• No data returned from agents connected to remote TEMS.
  
  The ITM DLA utility uses XML files supplied by the application
  seed data to generate queries that obtain information directly
  from the agent.  These queries are sent to the hub using the
  SQL1 service provided by TEPS.  In order to obtain data from
  agents connected to a remote TEMS, an AT() clause must be
  specified in the SQL request.  The ITM DLA utility does not add
  an AT() clause to it's queries, and does not provide a way for
  the applications to supply one.  So only queries to agents
  attached to the hub will return data.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new attribute named "at" was added that can be used by
  application developers to specify an AT() clause and value.
  Also, a new substitution variable named "THRUNODE" was added
  that can be used to select the thrunode value obtained from the
  node status table.
  
  A change is also required for each supported application to
  include the new "at" attribute in their tmsdla XML file.  These
  changes are not part of this APAR, and will be delivered in an
  application support fix pack.
