APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During VM scan for Application Protection reports, the scan for
  32 bit Windows VMs always fails with "initialization error"
  displayed in the "Application Configuration Status" report. This
   is due to a programming error where 64 bit code is injected to
  32 bit machines.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: TSM for VE 7.1 Application protection        *
  *                 reports                                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: One of the code paths during scan       *
  *                      initialization is missing the check     *
  *                      for VM bit-ness before injecting the    *
  *                      code to VM. As a result, VM scan for    *
  *                      32 bit Windows VMs always fails with    *
  *                      "initialization error" displayed in     *
  *                      the "Application Configuration          *
  *                      Status" report.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply fixing level when available. This      *
  *                 problem is currently projected to be fixed   *
  *                 in levels 7.1.1. Note that until the fixing  *
  *                 level is available, this information is      *

  During VM scan for Application Protection reports, the scan for
  32 bit Windows VMs always fails with "initialization error"
  displayed in the "Application Configuration Status" report.
  This is due to a programming error where 64 bit code is
  injected to 32 bit machines.
  

Problem conclusion

• Add the check for bit-ness before injecting c++ code to guest
  machines
