IV82236: MEMORY LEAK IN THE TEMS MAIN PROCESS DUE AT THE TACMD COMMAND EXECUTION

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 (6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0007)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On AIX machine, where the ue(tacmd) and TEPS component are
  installed in the same CANDLE_HOME, the TACMD EXPORTWORKSPACES
  command does not search in local TEPS directories where are
  stored JAR resource files.
  This issue causes a memory leak on local or remote HUB TEMS
  server because of the continuos requests from TACMD client to
  the TEMS  HTTP SERVER on port 1920 to get these JAR resource
  files instead of having these JAR resource files locally stored
  just one time.
  The command TACMD EXPORTWORKSPACES itself completes successfully
  because the JAR resource files are always retrieved from the
  cache if they are not available locally on the system from which
  TACMD EXPORTWORKSPACES command is issued.
  
  
  
  
  Affected Platforms / Versions: AIX
