IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Applications, Version 7.2.1

Take Action command script changes

The Take Action command scripts are updated to include environment variables that access and reference new encryption libraries and paths. Also, UNSET statements pass default values from the runtime agent to the Take Action command scripts.

The Take Action command scripts include the following scripts:

For the ksar3exe program, ksar3 on UNIX systems and ksar3.bat on Windows systems
For the ksar3nfy program, ks3nfy on UNIX systems and ksanfy.bat on Windows systems

On non-windows systems, the following SAP agent environment variables are updated in the shell scripts for Take Action and SAPOffice Mail utilities:

ARCHITECTURE: The value for the ARCHITECTURE variable is updated from tmaitm6 to TAMITM6.
ICCRTE_DIR: In previous versions of the SAP agent, the value for the ICCRTE_DIR variable was taken from /usr/local/ibm/gsk7. However, in SAP Agent 7.1, this value is taken from //gsKit.config.

The following tracing exports are included to generate the logs:

### set RAS1 tracing
export CTIRA_LOG_PATH=|CANDLEHOME|/logs
export KBB_VARPREFIX='%'
export KBB_RAS1_LOG='%(CTIRA_LOG_PATH)/aquarius_sa_
%(SAPSYSTEMNAME)_%(syspgm)_%(sysutcstart)-.log 
INVENTORY=%(CTIRA_LOG_PATH)/aquarius_sa_%
(SAPSYSTEMNAME)_%(syspgm).inv COUNT=03 
LIMIT=5 PRESERVE=1 MAXFILES=9'
export KBB_RAS1='ERROR'

Note: In this example, the variables are used in Take Action, SAP Office and Password Encryption/Decryption shell scripts for exporting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH, SHLIB_PATH, and ICCRTE_DIR to the respective utilities binaries.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=|CANDLEHOME|/|BINARCH|/sa/lib:|CANDLEHOME|
/|ARCHITECTURE|/lib:|ICCRTE_DIR|/lib
export LIBPATH=|CANDLEHOME|/|BINARCH|/sa/lib:|CANDLEHOME|
/|ARCHITECTURE|/lib:|ICCRTE_DIR|/lib
export SHLIB_PATH=|CANDLEHOME|/|BINARCH|/sa/lib:|CANDLEHOME|
/|ARCHITECTURE|/lib:|ICCRTE_DIR|/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
export ICCRTE_DIR=|ICCRTE_DIR|
export KEYFILE_DIR=|CANDLEHOME|/keyfiles

During the upgrade process, the default wrapper scripts, ksar3 and ksanfy, are updated for all of the environment variable and UNSET statement changes. If you are using the default wrapper scripts, the only changes you must make are for updated password values if you included these values in the wrapper scripts.

If you made copies of the default wrapper scripts, your copies are not updated during the upgrade process. You must make all the updates manually. Compare the updated 6.2 wrapper scripts with your scripts to determine the changes that you need to make.

If you included encrypted passwords in the wrapper script files, you must update these encrypted passwords also to avoid locking your SAP system user ID. Use the ksapwd utility after upgrade to encrypt your password. If your wrapper script includes the encrypted password, then copy the new encrypted password into the wrapper script. If your wrapper script is using a password file, regenerate the password file with the ksapwd utility.
