List of APARs and Fixes included in the fix pack
IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server APARs
|
IV48076
|
Some forwarded events may be truncated when situations that have overrides use columns that contain numeric values.
|
IV49070
|
When a situation reset update alert is received in OMNIbus, and the original event has already been marked as reset, a synchronization error alert was generated.
|
IV49660
|
The "tacmd deleteappinstallrecs" command fails if the managed system name contains the hash symbol (#). The problem is caused by a bad regular expression used for input validation. This affects all tacmd commands with a managed system name parameter. This includes the following commands: - deleteappinstallrecs - histstartcollection - histstopcollection - listappinstallrecs - managesit - refreshCatalog - clearAppSeedState
|
IV50143
|
The format of the packet "If-Modified-Since" field does not include the day like Sat, 29 Oct 1994 19:43:31 GMT which is required by RFC1122, and RFC2616.
|
IV50167
|
The monitoring server is crashing after upgrading from IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.30 to 6.30 Fix Pack 2. The crash occurs when event forwarding is enabled with Msg Slot customization.
|
IV51026
|
When any IBM Tivoli Monitoring component does a logon or a logoff to the monitoring server, the respective KDSMA009 and KDSMA011 messages are recorded in MSG2/Operation log file. There can be use cases that result in large numbers of these KDSMA009 and KDSMA011 messages being recorded to MSG2/Operation log file. The large volumes of KDSMA009 and KDSMA011 messages result in excessive growth of MSG2/Operation log file and this can be an undesirable effect on the log file. In order for this APAR to be properly implemented in your environment, a new environment variable has been added. See the "Install Actions" section of the APAR conclusion for more details.
|
IV52909
|
If a sampled situation event is cleared/deleted in OMNIbus, and the situation is not resolved in IBM Tivoli Monitoring, an acknowledgement expiration update is sent to OMNIbus. The synchronization cache triggers restore the data for the situation while checking to see if the Summary is equal to the situation name, which is true for default behavior. If the Summary is customized, the check fails, and the triggers fail to restore the data from the situation.
|
IV54339
|
Add serviceability enhancements, in the form of additional tracing statements, to the KPX/KRA components of IBM Tivoli Monitoring. Problems related to the use of recursive locks in the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Proxy are difficult to resolve with the current trace statements.
|
IV54386
|
Changing the fh.maxFileSize and/or fh.maxFiles parameters in the properties file does not affect the behavior of the operations log (KOL) component of the monitoring server or the portal server.
|
IV54577
|
When the Situation Update Forwarder (SUF) restarts, it locates its marker for the last event read using the lastread file in the cache file directory. The SUF is checking for the wrong value for cache file name in the lastread file, so it assumes the file didn't exist and starts from the beginning.
|
IV56654
|
Contents of the group member table can get out of sync between the hub monitoring server and the mirror monitoring server. The problem occurs when deleting a situation that is assigned to one or more groups. This leaves orphaned group members at the mirror monitoring server. The orphaned group member records can make their way back to the hub monitoring server during fail over operations. The orphaned group members are typically harmless, though can become relevant if the deleted situation is recreated.
|
IV59320
|
Contents of the access list table can get out of sync between the hub monitoring server and the mirror monitoring server . The problem occurs when deleting a endpoint that has direct distributions with overlapping group distributions. This may leave orphaned access list records at the mirror monitoring server. The orphaned access list records can make their way back to the hub monitoring server during fail over operations. The orphaned access list records are typically harmless, though can become relevant if the endpoint re-registers.
|
IV59338
|
If SQL is used to alter or repair records in table EVNTMAP, they can become damaged by having the TYPE column value changed from x'20' (blank) to x'00'. When the monitoring server is restarted, these records will not be processed and then situation events associated with these records will no longer contain the correct customized slot data.
|
IV59613
|
The hub monitoring server shuts down after I/O error attempting to open table index QA1DGRPI.IDX. An I/O error after attempting to open QA1DDYST.IDX and QA1CSITF.IDX also causes the TEMS to shut down.
|
IV59807
|
Linux_High_Zombies and Linux_High_Zombie_2 situations may produce excessive workload on the server. Because of the usage of the COUNT function in the formulas of these two out-of-the-box situations their evaluation takes place on the Tivoli Enterprise Management Server (TEMS), instead that on the agent side, and this can cause overheads in CPU, memory and network especially in case of large environments. Linux_High_Zombies in particular is an autostarted situation and the above risks are present by default.
|
IV60288
|
There are rare circumstances where a delete request fails to be performed at the mirror monitoring server. This can result in contents of the various tables being out of sync between the hub monitoring server and the mirror monitoring server. Records that were not deleted at the mirror monitoring server can make their way back to the hub monitoring server during fail over operations.
|
IV62579
|
This problem only occurs in IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.30 release stream. For a situation that has a defined Reflex Action, the Reflex Action will not be executed if one or more of the following situation settings is defined ... 1) Persistence > 1 2) Formula contains embedded situation 3) Formula contains function, such as COUNT, SUM, AVG ... When the problem occurs, the following messages may also be seen in the monitoring server RAS1 log file: KO41041, KFAA009W, KFAA092I, and KFAA001W.
|
IV62585
|
Tivoli Monitoring agents fail to connect to the Monitoring server without attempting to retry the failing bind operation using the next derived port in the range of ports. This results in an agent connection failure with no attempt to retry the connect. This defect is observed most frequently on z/OS but can occur on all Tivoli Monitoring supported platforms.
|
IV62659
|
The monitoring server on z/OS abends during shutdown with an S0C1 when accessing a path object that has already been freed.
|
IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal Client APARs
|
IV33958
|
On the portal client, an empty or incorrect view may be displayed if a 'Compare Date and Time' function is used to filter the result set on a time stamp value. An 'equal' comparison will almost always result in an empty view while 'less than' or 'greater than' comparisons may include more or less data rows than expected. A 'not equal' comparison will almost always be true for all data rows.
|
IV50910
|
In IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.30 Fix Pack 2, the portal client Workflow Editor Select a Situation dialog displays no situations.
|
IV52550
|
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Portal Server EWAS java process consuming memory until an out of memory condition occurrs.
|
IV53529
|
After implementing ITCAM for Microsoft Application Active Directory version 6.3, new Active Directory agents are not shown in the available Managed Systems list any more so user cannot add the new agent. Custom Managed System List of Active Directory agent can't be customized by Tivoli Enterprise Portal Client.
|
IV53925
|
The portal client displays the 'KFWITM080I Rebuilding View...' message in the Navigator pane when any but the rightmost tab is removed. The Navigator pane becomes inoperable until the portal client is restarted. This behavior is only seen when using Java version 1.6 or above.
|
IV55598
|
Changes to the Tivoli Portal client in IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.30 FP2 cause the "tacmd tepslogin" on Solaris and HP UNIX servers to fail. The tacmd (UI component) tepslogin uses the Tivoli Portal client code to login to the Tivoli Portal.
|
IV55992
|
When in admin mode, selecting a navigator node may display the wrong default workspace.
|
IV62689
|
Add support for launch-in-context to IBM SmartCloud(R) Analytics - Log Analysis (SCALA) from the portal client.
|
IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server APARs
|
IV50764
|
A query defined with the STRSCAN function on a column returns data for real time and short term history, but fails with an error when used to retrieve long term history. An error message similar to the following will be seen in the portal server log: [IBM][CLI Drivcw.er] CLI0100E Wrong number of parameters. SQLSTATE=07001, GENERIC SQLSTATE: 07001, ERR: -99999
|
IV51010
|
The Manage Situations window only shows stopped situations. This happens when the KFW_REPORT_ROW_LIMIT variable is set to a low value.
|
IV51545
|
Query against Summarization and Pruning agent tables is created incorrectly when (UNIT:ctreport detail) trace is on. It returns the following errors: KFWITM325E The Time Span request terminated with the following message: KFWIIM217E Request error: [IBM][CLI Driver]... An unexpected token ... SQLSTATE=42601 ERR: -104 SLexecDirect rc =-1 SQL_ERROR The log shows incorrect SQL was generated.
|
IV52938
|
Enhancements in IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.30 FP2 were made to use a more secure SSL context. This causes the Tivoli Portal client to fail a connection to the Tivoli Portal server when the https protocol is used for client to server connection.
|
IV59081
|
Tivoli Monitioring attributes defined with a TYPE parameter that uses the kfw.unsignedinteger class for formatting do not show the correct number value in Tivoli Portal report workspaces.
|
Summarization and Pruning Agent APARs
|
IV51965
|
The Warehouse Summarization and Pruning agent does not process its UNIX/Linux start-up configuration file (sy.ini) for comments using the pound sign (#) character. It is using the asterick (*) that is for Windows only. Therefore, UNIX/Linux comments can be read as configuration statements and values. This causes the Warehouse Summarization and Pruning agent to fail at start-up or use invalid configuration settings.
|
IV52159
|
Agents that use the AGTIM column and not the default WRITETIME column for a historical collection table will find that the Warehouse Summarization and Pruning agent does not add partitions for that table when partitioning is enabled.
|
IV52163
|
On Linux, the classpath for the tdwschema tool is formed incorrectly and thus causes the tool not to work.
|
IV52191
|
When the operating system is booted and agent processes start, the Warehouse Summarization and Pruning agent throws a java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused errors and SQL State = 08001 , SQL Error Code=-4499.
|
Warehouse Proxy Agent APARs
|
IV50877
|
Using analytics on historical data is a new feature introduced in IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.30 Fix Pack 2. This feature fails when KHD_HISTRETENTION=0 (normal historical collection) or RETAIN=0 (private historical collection) are set.
|
IV51380
|
The Summarization and Pruing Agent creates range partitions starting at the current date. If the Summarization and Pruning Agent is not running for any amount of time exceeding the KSY_PARTITIONS_UPWARD parameter, then partitions will not be created during that timeframe and inserting data into the table for that time will not be possible. As a result the table may still have missing partitions while the short-term history file may contain data for those missing partitions. This will result in the exception appearing in the Warehouse Proxy log file: 5243F456.83B9-AC8:khdxodbc.cpp,2476,"ODBCError") Error Msg = [IBM][CLIDriver][DB2/NT64] SQL0327N The row cannot be inserted into table "DB2ADMIN.KVM_RESOURCE_POOL_CPU" because it is outside the bounds of the defined data partition ranges. SQLSTATE=22525

Important items to be aware of in this fix pack:
-
Starting with IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2, the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installer now automatically performs a prerequisite scan of the system to ensure a successful installation. This scan is performed for both the server and agent components. The default behavior is to exit the installation if a prerequisite is not met. You may disable the prerequisite scan run as a configurable option during installation. Please refer to the ITM 6.3.0.2 Installation Guide for more details.
-
Starting with IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2, the default behavior for enforcement of security policies for Take Action commands has been reversed from the GA behavior. The default is now that auditing is off. If auditing is desired, it must be explicitly configured. Please refer to this technote for details: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27038508
-
Upgrading or installing the server dashboards component which runs in JazzSM's Dashboard Application Services Hub (DASH) will cause the WebSphere Application Server for DASH to be restarted. Please plan accordingly.
-
Upgrading a 32-bit portal server in a 64-bit environment may require manual intervention if IBM Installation Manager is already installed on the machine. Please refer to the "Prior to installation" section of this README.
-
Prior to version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 1 of ITM, 32-bit and 64-bit GSKit were both always installed on a 64-bit system. Release 6.3.0 Fix Pack 1 and later versions install only the version(s) required by components selected for installation or upgrade. Refer to this technote for more information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21634860
-
The Java RunTime Environment (JRE) and Global Security Toolkit (GSKit) packages that are shipped with IBM Tivoli Monitoring are:
-
JRE 1.7.0 SR7 for CANDLEHOME on AIX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows
-
JRE 1.6.0 SR15 FP1 for CANDLEHOME on HP-UX
-
JRE 1.7.0 SR6 FP1 and 1.6.0 SR15 FP1 for Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) browser and WebStart clients.
-
GSKit 8.0.50.20 for Linux, AIX, Windows, Solaris, and HP-UX.
These packages represent a change from the levels that were shipped with 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2. No user action is required.
-
Please be sure to read the section "Prior to installation" before proceeding with this installation.
Note: Recent Java updates have caused connection problems when logging into the portal server via the Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser and WebStart clients. Refer to technote #1672459 for important information regarding the latest Java Support requirements:http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21672459
