  ABSTRACT:             default event dest cannot be restored
  
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  We have added some eventdestinations and modified the situation
  to send
  to the new destination instead of the default one. When we try
  to set
  the default destination on the left again and put the new
  eventdestination back to the rights side, this seems not to be
  kept.
  After closing/reopening the situation the new eventdestinations
  is the
  one selected again and the default isn't longer.
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  1.
  Log in to the TEP and open the situation editor
  
  2.
  Browse to any situation
  
  3.
  Go to the EIF tab
  
  4.
  Make sure that the "Forward Events to an EIF Receiver" is
  checked
  
  Move the "<Default EIF Receiver>" to the Available box and move
  your
  newly created receiver (myTEC) to the assigned EIF receivers box
  
  Then apply the changes and close the situation.
  
  5.
  Now open the same situation and return to the EIF tab.
  
  You need to switch the Receivers back, so that the default is
  not the
  assigned and the myTEC receiver is in the list of available
  receivers.
  
  Apply again and close the situation.
  
  6.
  If you now reopen the same situation and check the EIF tab you
  can see
  that the switch back of the receivers has not been saved, so you
  are
  stuck with the newly created adapter and you cannot re assign
  the
  original default adapter on its own.
  
  LOCAL FIX: N/A

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• In the Situation Editor, the default EIF receiver cannot be
  moved back to the Assigned EIF receivers column by itself after
  it has been moved to the available column and saved, and then
  moved back.  This only occurs when there is more than one EIF
  receiver created.  If you try to put the default EIF receiver in
  the assigned column by itself after it has been moved to the
  available column with at least one other EIF receiver, when the
  Situation editor is brought back up, the previous Assigned list
  will still be in effect.
  

Problem conclusion

• The default EIF receiver may now be moved at will to and from
  the Assigned column and the Available column and saved, and it
  will be saved in the correct column.  An incorrect check was
  found that caused the original setting (before making the
  change) to be saved.
  
  The fix for this APAR is included in the following maintenance
  vehicle:
      | interim fix | 6.2.1-TIV-ITM-FP0003
  

Temporary fix

• If you want only the Default EIF receiver to be assigned, then
  move all of the EIF receivers to the Available column and click
  OK.  When the Situation Editor is brought back up, the Default
  EIF receiver will be the only entry on the assigned EIF
  receivers side.
