IJ38990: starting and stopping agents takes longer if runinfo has non running entries.
Error description: Starting and stopping the first ITM agent or server takes an extra 25 seconds per non running PID entry in RunInfo.

IJ38035: THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES IN THE GLOBAL LOCATION BROKER OF A DISTRIBUTED HUB STEADILY INCREASES.
Error description: During initialisation, an RTEMS registers an entry in the Hub's Global Location Broker for each interface and protocol that it supports. Before doing it, it first unregisters all interfaces that it registered when it last started. SNA addresses registered by a z/OS RTEMS in the Global Location Broker of a distributed Hub are not removed. Therefore, a z/OS RTEMS that is configured to use SNA adds duplicate SNA registrations to the GLB each time it is started.
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ38035.
IJ38260: HISTORICAL COLLECTION DATA IS DUPLICATED WHEN PRIVATE SITUATIONS ARE DEFINE.
Error description: If both Private and Persistent Situations for the same Historical Collection Group are defined, the results is a duplication of data written to the Warehouse.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ38082.
IJ37537: ROWCOUNT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REPORT RESPONSE FOR TO AN ASI QUERY.
Error description: The Agent Support Interface query on the system where a Linux OS agent is running (substituting the root password for ROOTPASSHERE and the agent MSN for HOSTNAME _lz): curl -u "root:ROOTPASSHERE" -X POST http://localhost:1920/HOSTNAME_lz/HOSTNAME_lz/html/default.htm -d "
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ37537.
IJ36202: REQUESTS TO READ THE GLOBAL LOCATION BROKER MAY RETURN INCOMPLETE RESULTS. A SCAN OF THE GLB MIGHT CAU.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ36202.
IJ39782: CTRA SERVER ERROR: NO TRANSPORTS AVAILABLE, FFFFFFFF.
Error description: All Windows platform Agent is using IP.SPIPE for exclusive connection. Do you think the latest patch applied is involved? No.
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ39782.
IJ35721: WAS855UPLIFT AND IHS855UPLIFT SCRIPTS DO NOT BACKUP AND RESTORE IIM DATA.
Error description: On Windows, Linux, and AIX the was855update and ihs855update scripts do not backup and restore the product IIM directories. It causes the product data to be out of sync with the product IIM data and causes future update attempts.
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ35721.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ33086.
IJ34929: SDA PUTS KF HELP FILES IN WRONG PLATFORM DIRECTORY ON 64 BIT LINUX/AIX.
Error description: SDA processing for application support to a 64-bit TEPS (and TEP web client) on Linux or AIX incorrectly adds the com.ibm.k*.doc help files to the 32-bit kf/eclipse/plugins directory instead of the 64-bit kf/eclipse/plugins directory.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6586742.
IJ35760: THE HUB SOAP SERVER DOES NOT ACCOMMODATE THE USE OF MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (MFA).
Error description: Every request to the SOAP server is authenticated. If the authentication subsystem used to authenticate users relies on MFA, then every individual authentication request made by the Hub either requires a new password or else an 'out-of-band' authorization by the user. This becomes impractical if a user wants to perform many SOAP requests. In addition, certain tacmd requests involve multiple requests to the SOAP server, and this fails when the same credentials are used in multiple authentications.

IJ37912: SP09 DOES NOT DOCUMENT THE FACT THAT SP06 IS A REQUIREMENT FOR S0P9 TO UPDATE THE NT AGENT.

[New IBM Tivoli Monitoring Related Section: Java Expired Certificates]
Java Expired Certificates.
As of 06 June 2021, you can find that you are no longer able to launch the Tivoli Enterprise Portal console.
It is a result of some expired certificates within the set of classes files used to launch the Tivoli Enterprise Portal console.
We have an automated process that can be used to resign the certificates for you; it requires only a zip/tar of the current set of classes files used. One caveat to note is that, if application supports are installed to the TEPS, you can experience this issue again; and we then need to resign all of the classes files again, by using the automated process. In order for us to resign your JAR file, we require a .zip or .tar of all of the *.jar AND .zip files in the classes directory on your Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server host.
Follow these steps to create an archive named 'classes.tar' or 'classes.zip' and send it to support to process the resigning of the JAR file.
Go to the following location on your Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
(1) UNIX/Linux
InstallDirectory/Architecture/cw/classes
Windows
%CANDLE_HOME%\CNB\classes
(2) Run the following command or use a GUI tool to create a tar or zip file containing all the *.jar and *.zip files only found in the classes directory...
tar cvf /tmp/classes.tar *.jar *.zip
(3) Open a new case to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Support team requesting for a re-sign of your current files.
Upload the resulting archive file to Ecurep as-is (do not gzip or compress it further).
(4) Please use the following steps to implement the resigned files
(5) Unpack the zip/tar file with the resigned JAR files into the classes directory
For UNIX/Linux
InstallDirectory>/Architecture/cw/classes
tar -xvf resigned.tar /opt/IBM/ITM/lx8266/cw/classes
For Windows
%CANDLE_HOME%\CNB\classes
— there is no need to restart the TEPS for this step
(6) Ensure that you clear the cache of the browse, or Java Webstart client, at the end users, to ensure the latest resigned JAR files are downloaded and used by the TEP clients. The next time you start the TEP console application the resigned jars will be used to launch the console. See: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/question/0D50z00005phlxL/how-can-i-clear-my-java-cache-on-my-tep-client-without-using-the-gui?language=en_US

[Preparing customer firewalls and proxies for the upcoming infrastructure changes]
New network connections between your machine and IBM servers.
Abstract: IBM is planning to implement infrastructure improvements to Call Home, Testcase Data Exchange and Secure File Transfer on 4th June 2022.
Both Public and Internal IP addresses will change for the IBM servers that electronically exchange test cases, configuration files, traces, dumps and other diagnostic information with customers.
Customers will experience uninterrupted service due to the change in IP addresses in June.
Both the current IP addresses and the new IP addresses will be accepted initially.
From August 31st 2022 only the new IP addresses will be accepted and so it is advised that new firewall rules and proxy updates are completed before that date.
