IZ64854: LINK WIZARD NAVIGATOR TREE NOT ALLOWING EXPANSION OF MORE NODE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ENVIRONMENT:
  
  TEP client connected to a TEMS with more than 25 of the same
  type of agents.
  
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  
  The navigator inside of the link wizard will not allow users to
  expand the list of systems if there are more than 25 of the same
  type.
  
  
  
  DETAILED RECREATION PROCEDURE:
  
  Open a TEP with more than 25 agents of the same type.  Open the
  link wizard and select the option to create a new link.  When
  the navigator tree appears, scroll down to the end and there
  will be a node called "More".  Clicking on this node does
  nothing.
  
  
  
  RELATED FILES AND OUTPUT:
  
  N/A
  

Local fix

• Set the cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize variable on the TEP to
  something that is larger than the number of agents in the
  environment.  For example, if there are 50 agents NT agents in
  the list, set cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize to a value larger
  than 50.
  

Problem summary

• The navigator inside of the link wizard will not allow users to
  expand the list of systems if there are more than 25 of the same
  type.
  

Problem conclusion

• The logic of the Link Wizard was changed to remove the limit on
  the number of nodes that could be expanded.
  
  Install Actions
  
  In order for this APAR to be properly implemented in your
  environment, you must take the following actions:
  
  If you have more than 25 agents of the same type, it can be
  adjusted by modifying the 'pagesize' parameter:
  
  Where you set the cnp.navigator really depends depending on the
  type of portal client used to access the portal and here are the
  ways you can set the parameter depending on what you intend to
  use.
  
  Desktop client:
  If the Desktop client is running on a Windows machine, open the
  "Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services" GUI, right-click
  the Desktop client entry, and select Advanced-->Edit variables.
  These variables should already be defined in the resulting
  dialog box, and the desired values can be set.
  
  For non-Windows platforms, the file
  $CANDLEHOME/<arch>/cj/bin/cnp.sh or cnp_<host>.sh can be
  modified manually (where <arch> is the architecture type of the
  machine, such as li6263). Open the file with a text editor and
  locate the final line in the file. Immediately preceding the
  candle.fw.pres.CMWApplet entry in the string, insert the
  following two statements:
  
  -Dcnp.navigator.branch.pagesize=250
  -Dcnp.navigator.branch.threshold=250
  
  Browser client:
  From the machine where the portal server is running, open the
  applet.html file using a text editor.
  Near the end of the file you will see a tag:
  <!--END OF PARAMS-->
  Place the following lines just before the end of that tag (and
  make sure there is no white space at the beginning of the
  lines):
  
  document.writeln( '<PARAM NAME=
  "cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize"VALUE="250">' );
  document.writeln( '<PARAM NAME= "cnp.navigator.branch.threshold"
  VALUE="250">' );
  
  Java Web Start client:
  Edit the tep.jnlp file on the system where the portal server is
  located and add the following two lines under the <resources>
  tag:
  
  <property name="cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize" value="250"/>
  <property name="cnp.navigator.branch.threshold" value="250"/>

Temporary fix

• Set the cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize variable on the TEP to
  something that is larger than the highest number of agents of
  one type in the environment.
  For example, if there are 50 Windows OS agents in the list, set
  cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize to a value larger than 50.
