IZ81420
When a group is deleted via the Administrator, the tool access data associated with that group is not removed.
This caused nco confpack export to fail. The tool access data associated with the group is now removed. However, if the Administrator is
not used to delete the group - if the group is deleted using the SQL interface, with 'drop group <group_name>' - the tool access
data will not be removed, and the nco_confpack export will still fail.
IZ84304
Reduced memory required for storing large multi-column lookup tables.
Increased performance of lookup tables with large numbers of entries.
IZ86660
If a tool that required a prompt was launched, it would be executed when the prompt window is closed with the 'X' or using
Alt+F4. The new and correct behavior will be for the tool execution to be aborted.
IZ89203
Probes on Windows failed to locate rules files given by relative paths on the command line. This has now been fixed.
IZ69192
Probes on Windows could create log file pools instead of writing to a single log file. This has been fixed.
IZ88264
Updates were made to the default rules file provided for integration with Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM).
NOTE: Applying the fix pack will overwrite the current rules file at NCHOME/omnibus/extensions/taddm/tivoli_eif_taddm.rules
without prompting the user.
