IZ51097: SYSTEMS NOT VISIBLE TO USERS WITH ONLY MQSERIES APPLICATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a user has only the MQSERIES application assigned as an
  allowed
  application, they cannot see all systems in the physical tree
  that have
  an MQSERIES agent.  Only some systems are visible.  The systems
  which
  are not visible have multiple MQSERIES agents.  If the user is
  assigned
  another application that is installed on the missing system,
  such as an
  OS agent, then the systems appear in the physical tree.
  
  Recreate:
  
  - set up a system with two MQSERIES agents, and another agent,
  such as
  an OS agent
  - create a user with only MQSERIES application assigned
  - log in as sysadmin, verify the system appears in the physical
  tree
  - log in as the MQSERIES user, the system does not appear in the
  tree
  

Local fix

• Keep the OS agent as allowed application as well.
  

Problem summary

• When a regular, non-subnode application node (for example,
  Windows OS) is created in the physical topology, the node tells
  it's parent host node what type of agent it is, and the parent
  node will aggregate the affinities of all it's children into
  it's own affinity.  But applications that are based on subnodes,
  and consequently have an application group folder between the
  subnodes and the host node were not telling the host node what
  agent type they are.  So their affinity is left out of the host
  node's affinity, and it is hidden for users that only have the
  subnode application as an assigned application.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added logic to allow subnodes to tell their host node what
  application type they are.
