Additional Information: The /IBMMON/ITM_QOUT_GET_QUEUES function module stopped collecting the data even though the data was present in the SAP system. Due to this, SYSID ‘+++’ was displayed on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. The function module has been rectified for collecting the data from the SAP systems having versions greater than 46C and SP level SPKB46C39. APAR: IV60733 Abstract: MPS CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER IN FUNCTION MODULE IBMMON/ITM_FILE_SYSTEM Additional Information: ABAP dump ‘Conversion Error –unable to handle‘---‘ as a number ’ for the / IBMMON/ITM_FILE_SYSTEM function module is gracefully handled towards File Systems attribute group. 2.2 Defects ------------ Defect: 58382 Abstract: Exception condition "GWY_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE" raised. Additional Information: "GWY_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE" has been gracefully handled for the /IBMMON/ITM_GWY_CONNECTIONS function module towards the Gateway Connections attribute group. Defect: 55733 Abstract: TEP Remote configuration of SAP Agent is not working on non-windows after remote upgrade. Additional Information: While getting the Config parameters from the ".cfg" file, the two parameters for gateway are removed from the parameters that are being sent to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Configuration Panel. Also the ".cfg" file is updated by removing those parameters. Then, reconfiguration of Agent Instance with appserver and logon mode through Tivoli Enterprise Portal is successful after remote upgradation to 711FP1 IF1. Defect: 55366 Abstract: ABAP Dumps when Job Name is not present in SAP standard table. Additional Information: Exception handling was missing for the scenario of the Job Name not being present in the SAP standard table. The issue has been fixed by adding the required exception handling for Workspace Integration engine background jobs when Job is not present in SAP. 2.3 Enhancements ---------------- Enhancement: 67334 Abstract: Additional functionality to handle the MAI missing Alerts in the Function Module /IBMMON/ITM_MAIALRT_INX. Additional Information: Function module /IBMMON/ITM_MAIALRT_INX is modified to fetch the MAI Alerts which are missed by ITM SAP Agent as these MAI Alerts are inserted into table /IBMMON/ITM_ALIX with some delay by SAP. Note: 1) SAP system time and ITCAM SAP Agent machine time should be in sync upto accuracy of seconds. 2) In order to have full collection of MAI Alerts, there is an additional overlap time being added to the sampling time frequency given by the ITCAM SAP Agent. This additional overlap time is configurable parameter on the SAP side Please note - a)By default the additional overlap time will be 1 min i.e. 60 seconds. b)Maximum additional overlap time which can be configured will be 5 mins i.e. 300 seconds. c)If the user wants the additional overlap time greater than 1 min i.e. 60 seconds and less than or equal to 5mins i.e. 300 mins, then he should follow the below steps. Please find below the steps to configure this additional overlap time on SAP side: • Go to transaction code SE16. • Enter the table name as '/IBMMON/ITM_CNFG' and press 'F7'. • Execute the database table '/IBMMON/ITM_CNFG' or press 'F8'. • Add the additional overlap time parameter as ‘MAI_PERD_OV’ in the database field 'ITM Configuration Parameters' and then add the additional overlap time in seconds in the database field 'VALUE_INT' and save it. 2.4 Superseded fixes --------------------- 7.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-FP0001 7.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 ------------------------- 2.5 APARS, Defects and Enhancements included from superseded fixes ------------------------------------------------------------------ This section contains list of defects fixed / enhancements made in previous releases.

APAR: IV61450 Abstract: REMOVE PERIOD START/END ATTRIBUTES OF XML MESSAGE LOGS Additional Information: The attributes 'Period Start' and 'Period End' are used by the agent internally and aren't helpful to customer in anyway. In order to hide them from attribute view, the 'USAGE' and 'COST' tags have been set to appropriate values. Also, the queries that define the attribute view have been modified to remove the 'Period Start' and 'Period End' attributes. APAR: IV59319 Abstract: SAP AGENT NOT PICKING UP ALERTS FROM SOLUTION MANAGER Additional Information: This is DOC APAR and the third Party OS command adapter should be configured and mail notification should be enabled using appropriate steps. Defect: 53372 Abstract: Unable to start SAP Agent when candlehome contains ‘SAP’ word. Additional Information: Post install script ignores variables containing 'SAP' keyword and they are not included in 'ksaenv' file. When CANDLEHOME and JAVAHOME contained 'SAP' keyword, they were ignored as well resulting in failure to start ksaagent. Defect: 49745 Abstract: Agent doesn't read syslog.idx file correctly Additional Information: SAP agent read '<SID>_syslog.idx' incorrectly leading to corrupt '.idx' file. This resulted in system log not getting detected sometimes. Note: This issue is reproducible only with multi instance SAP system. Defect: 47233 Abstract: Test connection utility is not working on windows as designed for application server mode. Additional Information: With the new NWRFC library, 'Gateway Host' and 'Gateway service' are not required while creating a RFC connection with the SAP server. So, these fields have been removed from the agent configuration panel. Defect: 45898 Abstract: R/3 action link of ‘Close Alert’ and ‘Close Alerts of the same type’ are missing in ‘Alert Information’ view of CCMS monitoring workspaces. Additional Information: The workspace has been modified to create the two missing links. Also, the code on the SAP side has been fixed to correct the close alert mechanism. Enhancement: 44620 Abstract: Netweaver RFC support added for SAP Agent common layers. Additional Information: Netweaver RFC v7.20 support has been added. Communication with SAP system will now happen using the NWRFC library instead of the Classic RFC library.

Additional Information: 711 GA transport fails with ABAP dump for the /IBMMON/ITM_CONN_CHECK function module. Because of this, the data is not collected and displayed on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal for some attribute groups, and the dumps are generated on SAP side. APAR: IV52434 Abstract: ATTRLIB MISSING SLASH IF INSTANCE IS CREATED USING ADDSYSTEM. Additional Information: Because of the missing slash in ATTRLIB field name, the agent is configured incorrectly that hampers the agent functionality and Historical Data Collection (HDC). This problem occurs when the SAP agent instance is created by using the tacmd Addsystem command, and the same instance is reconfigured. APAR: IV51184 Abstract: FUNCTION MODULE "/IBMMON/ITM_SYS_LOG" GENERATING ABAP DUMP. Additional Information: The "IBMMON/ITM_SYS_LOG" function module is invoked every 10 minutes and it generates ABAP dumps. "/IBMMON/ITM_SYS_LOG" function module was called with "ITM_R3_LOG_RECORD" parameter. This parameter is not defined. The Syslog information is available from INS and GRP subnodes, however, problem occurs only while collecting the data for :GRP subnode. APAR: IV47613 Abstract: ABAP DUMPS DUE TO OVERFLOW IN /IBMMON/ITM_CCMS_ALERTS (ALERT UNIQUE ID). Additional Information: Added a new attribute named 'Extended Alert Unique Identifier' to hold bigger alert unique identifier. The extended alert unique identifier attribute is used to close an alert in the SAP system. Defect: 43177 Abstract: Data is not coming for ‘ITM_USER_INFORMATION’ for ':Sys' node. Additional Information: The code considered only the 'INS' node. Therefore, the user information link in the 'SYS' node did not receive any data. Defect: 43075 Abstract: 'No Applicable data' seen for CCMS Monitoring on ALL Grp node along with 9911 alert in second call of agent in case of CEN configured SAP. Additional Information: When retrieving alerts for the first call of the new CCMS design for GRP node in case of Central (CEN) system, 'No Applicable Data' is displayed on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. The second call of the agent was generating a 9911 alert. Defect: 42393 Abstract: Argument column in "Lock Information" is showing invalid data. Additional Information: Lock argument of locked object shows string '[][][][][][][]' on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, when all possible fields are responsible for locking that object. Defect: 42317 Abstract : Delete transport unable to delete reference of agent BADI class from MAI configured SAP system. Additional Information: BADI delete transport must be able to delete all relevant BADI classes and implementations from the system where BADI is imported. Defect: 40637 Abstract: Exception condition "ITM-NOT_FOUND" raised in case syslog records are not found at SAP side. Additional Information: If particular syslog details are not present on the SAP system, then while accessing syslog details using sys_detail link on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, a "Exception condition 'ITM-NOT FOUND' raised" short dump is generated on the SAP side and a blank screen is displayed on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. Defect: 39686 Abstract: Syslog causing ABAP dump for Group Sub Node. Additional Information: For the logs and traces attribute group of the GRP node, exceptions are raised.

Use the .tar file if you are working in a UNIX environment; use the .zip file if you are working in a Windows environment. 5.0 Installation instructions ============================= This fix can only be installed over an existing installation of 711 FP0001. Use the following steps to install this fix. 5.1 Before installing the fix ----------------------------- - The prerequisites listed under section 3.1 entitled 'Upgrade Prerequisites for this fix' must be installed when for upgrade. - For the purpose of this README, the <CANDLEHOME> symbol is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default value for CANDLEHOME is '/opt/IBM/ITM' on UNIX systems and 'C:\IBM\ITM' on Windows systems. - Before installing this interim fix on UNIX systems, set the CANDLEHOME environment variable to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. For example: > CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM > export CANDLEHOME - Because there is no uninstall utility for this interim fix, be sure to perform a backup of your environment before installing this fix. 5.2 Local agent update -------------------------- 1. Transfer the appropriate archive file (7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001.tar or .zip) to a temporary directory on the system that contains the agent to be updated. For the purpose of this README, the <TEMP> symbol represents the fully qualified path to this directory. Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter. 2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all supported operating systems. 3. Use the "itmpatch" command to install the fix for the operating system for that agent. For more information on the "itmpatch" command, see section [6.2]. On UNIX systems, if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001, the install command is: > <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001/ksa_xxxxxx_tema_if0001.tar where: - xxxxxx corresponds to the value in the first column returned by the ./cinfo -i command. In the following example, the file is "ksa_li6263_tema_if0001.tar". > ./cinfo -i [Monitoring Agent for Your Product] [lx8266 Version: 07.11.01.01] On Windows systems, if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>\7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001, the install command is: For Windows 32-bit > <TEMP>\7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001\itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP>\7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001\ksa_winnt_tema_if0001.cab For Windows 64-bit > <TEMP>\7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001\itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP>\7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001\ksa_wix64_tema_if0001.cab Note: if the itmpatch command gets this error: "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail." it's necessary install the "visualstudio redistribution package" before to run the itmpatch command. For a 32bit architecture, the name of this package is vcredist_x86.exe, available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582 [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582] For a 64bit architecture, the name of this package is vcredist_x64.exe,available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2092 [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2092] 5.3 Remote agent update ---------------------------- 1. Transfer the appropriate archive file (7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001.tar or .zip) to a temporary directory on the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server system. For the purpose of this README, the <TEMP> symbol represents the fully qualified path to this directory. Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter. 2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported operating systems. 3. To add the agent fix bundles into the remote deploy depot, use the "tacmd addBundles" command found in $CANDLEHOME/bin on UNIX systems or in %CANDLE_HOME%\bin on Windows systems. For more information on the "tacmd addBundles" command, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference. On UNIX systems, if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001: > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 On Windows systems, if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>\7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001: > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>\7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 where: -n indicates that prerequisite bundles are not automatically added. The -n parameter must be used because the fix directory does not contain any prerequisites that the fix might require. See Section 3.1 for the prerequisites for this fix. -i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be added to the depot. 4. After "tacmd addBundles.." from step 3 above, control files on the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server must be updated. These updates must be done manually. a. Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server update The sa_dd_07110101.xml and sa_dd.properties files must be copied from the <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 directory to the 071001000 version of the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services depot. Two scripts are provided to make these copies and are in the fix <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 directory after the expansion of the tar or zip file: ksa_patchdepot.bat - Windows ksa_patchdepot.sh - UNIX From the <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 directory, run the appropriate script based on the operating system. The script output contains details about the copies being made. b. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server update Resource files must be copied from the <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 directory to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Portal directory. Two scripts are provided to make these copies and are in the fix <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 directory after the expansion of the tar or zip file: ksa_patch_resource_teps.bat - Windows ksa_patch_resource_teps.sh - UNIX From the <TEMP>/7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001 directory, run the appropriate script based on the operating system. The script output contains details about the copies being made. 5. To log in to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server, and deploy the fix to the appropriate nodes where the agent is running, use the following "tacmd" commands. For more information on the "tacmd login" and "tacmd updateAgent" commands, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference. On UNIX systems: > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server> -u <itmuser> -p <password> > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the "tacmd updateAgent" command. > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t sa -n <Managed system name> -v 07110101 On Windows systems: > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server> -u <itmuser> -p <password> > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the "tacmd updateAgent" command. > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd updateAgent -t sa -n <Managed system name> -v 07110101 Note: - The component (-t) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is specified as two characters (sa), not three characters (ksa). - The node (-n) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is the managed system name of the operating system (OS) agent to be updated. The target node for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is always an OS agent. 5.4 Agent support update ------------------------------ Use the following steps to update the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop. Note: If SDA feature is enable at the HUB TEMS, then below steps are are not required. SDA will install only browser support and if customer is using TEP Desktop then install the support manfully as shown below. This fix (7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001) includes changes to the agent support files that must be installed. If you installed these updates, there are no additional installation steps. If you did not install these updates, use the following steps to update the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop. 1. Transfer the appropriate archive file 7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001.tar or .zip) to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Servers, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktops. 2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms. 3. Expand the archive file (ksa_tems_teps_tepd_if0001.tar or .zip) that contains the updates for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory structure that includes a subdirectory called CD-ROM, with the necessary updates. 4. Use the Application Support Installer(ASI) GUI or the silent installation method to install the application support files. GUI installation option ------------------------ The GUI can be started by using one of the following commands from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is located. On UNIX systems: > ./itmasi.sh [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>] On Windows systems: > itmasi [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>] When prompted by the Application Support Installer for the installable media directory, select the CD-ROM directory, not the component directory. The installer can install updates for multiple components at the same time. Note: For IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.3 or above, one of the following additional steps must be performed. 1. Aquire a platform-specific pre-packaged JRE version of the Application Support Installer (ASI). See IBM Tivoli Monitoring Application Support Installer, 6.2-tiv-itm_asi-if0002 at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034924 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034924] for download and installation instructions. 2. Specify the '-j javahome' parameter with the path to a 32-bit java(r) 1.5 or java 1.6 installation when running the itmasi.sh or itmasi.bat script described below. 5. The next panel presented by the Application Support Installer asks for the selection of Tivoli Monitoring components to which you want to add application support. For this fix, check or clear the check boxes as follows: [checked | unchecked] - Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) [checked | unchecked] - Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS) [checked | unchecked] - Tivoli Enterprise Desktop Client (TEPD) Continue through the remaining GUI panels selecting SAP Agent 07.11.01.01 support to complete the installation. 6. If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser was running when the update was installed, it must be restarted. 7. If the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server being updated is remote (not a Hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server) then restart the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. 5.5 Installing SAP agent transport ------------------------------------ Note: From this fix onwards,a single ITM file has been provided for importing SAP transport on all supported SAP versions having BADI or non-BADI implementation. This procedure installs the SAP transport into the SAP system. You are not required to uninstall the previous transport before installing this transport. 1. Go to the ABAP directory in the location where you expanded the fix archive file. 2. Copy the transport files into the SAP environment as follows: a. The following two sets of transport files are in the ABAP directory of the SAP agent fix archive: 1) K711_00103U.ITM and R711_00103U.ITM in /ABAP directory. These files are Unicode versions of the transport. 2) K711_00103_DELETE.ITM and R711_00103_DELETE.ITM These transport files remove the ABAP code. Do not import the DELETE transport unless you stop using the product entirely and want to remove the transports from your SAP systems. b. Copy your transport files to the SAP Transport System data directory as follows: 1) Copy the K711_00103U.ITM file to the cofiles directory. 2) Copy the R711_00103U.ITM file to the data directory. 3. Run the following command for non-BADI and BADI where: SID Target SAP : system ID PROFILE_NAME : Name of the tp profile file nnn : Number for the target client where the agent is to run tp addtobuffer ITMK711_00103U SID pf=\usr\sap\trans\bin\PROFILE_NAME tp import ITMK711_00103U SID client=nnn U16 pf=\usr\sap\trans\bin\PROFILE_NAME Alternately, you can use the SAP STMS transaction to import the transport requests. Ensure that the Import Transport Request Again and the Overwrite Objects in Unconfirmed Repairs options are checked on the Import Options tab of the Import Transport Request window. 6.0 Additional installation information ======================================== 6.1 Installation instructions for agent baroc file ------------------------------------------------------ This fix (7.1.1.1-TIV-ITM_SAP-IF0001) includes changes to the agent baroc files that must be reinstalled. If you have already installed these baroc files, there are no additional installation steps. If you have not installed the files, see the "IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.2.2FP2: Installation and Setup Guide" (ITM6.2.2FP2 Installation and Setup Guide.pdf) under "Installing monitoring agent baroc files on the event server" in the "Installing the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Event Synchronization" section for more information. 6.2 Additional information on using the itmpatch command --------------------------------------------------------- The itmpatch command has the following syntax. Usage: itmpatch -h <installation home> [OPTIONS] itmpatch -h <installation home> -t { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> } itmpatch -h <installation home> -i { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> } where: -h Specifies the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory -i Specifies the path to the directory or patch file to be installed -t Generates a report of the actions to be taken by the patch For example, on UNIX systems: - To preview the fix installation, use the "-t" option: > <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -t <TEMP> - To install the fix, use the "-i" option: > <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP> where: <CANDLEHOME> is the fully qualified IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. On Windows systems, this path must include the drive letter. <TEMP> represents the fully qualified directory specification, where the fix is located. On Windows systems, this path must include the drive letter. 6.3 Verifying the update ------------------------ 1. To verify that the agent was updated correctly, use the tacmd command to view the current version of the agent after the agent is restarted. You are required to log in to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server before viewing the agent version. For example: On UNIX systems, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default location is '/opt/IBM/ITM'. > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server> -u <itmuser> -p <password> > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems -t sa On Windows systems, where %CANDLE_HOME% is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default location is 'C:\IBM\ITM'. > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server> -u <itmuser> -p <password> > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems -t sa Note: - The component (-t) for the tacmd listSystems command is specified as two characters (sa), not three characters (ksa). When the agent update is successful, the agent version is 07.11.01.01 Note: - The component (-t) for the tacmd listSystems command is specified as two characters (sa), not three characters (ksa). When the agent update is successful, the agent version is 07.11.01.01 After the agent is restarted, you can also use the GUI to verify that the agent was successfully updated. For the agent on Windows systems, the version number is 07.11.01.01 For the agent on UNIX systems, the version number is 07.11.01.01 2. To verify that the agent support files were updated correctly, use the kincinfo command on Windows systems or the cinfo command on Linux(R) or UNIX systems. The sample output below shows the versions of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop systems after this fix has been successfully applied. Note: - The date of the build displayed might not be accurate. This is a known problem. On Linux systems: -------------------- To validate that all components have been installed, run the following command: For example: > %CANDLE_HOME%/bin/cinfo -i Note: cinfo output may differ depending on ITM version. *********** Fri Dec 5 10:14:10 IST 2014 ****************** User: root Groups: root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel pkcs11 Host name : IBMSAP1V9 Installer Lvl:06.23.03.00 CandleHome: /opt/ibm *********************************************************** ...Product inventory ax IBM Tivoli Monitoring Shared Libraries li6263 Version: 06.23.03.00 gs IBM GSKit Security Interface li6243 Version: 07.40.43.00 jr Tivoli Enterprise-supplied JRE li6263 Version: 06.12.00.00 sa IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager Agent for SAP Applications li6263 Version: 07.11.01.01 ue Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions li6263 Version: 06.23.03.00 ui Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface li6263 Version: 06.23.03.00 7.0 Known problems and workarounds =================================== Abstract: While configuring the agent instance on UNIX, more than 3 letters are accepted as instance ID. Problem: Three letters are accepted as Instance ID while configuring agent instance on UNIX. This can result in failure to connect to the SAP system as the ".cfg" file for that instance will be generated with a wrong name. Workaround: The user should make sure that only three lettered name is entered as the instance ID while configuring an agent instance. 8.0 Additional product information ================================== ABAP Transport Compatibility: ------------------------------ Each fix includes an updated agent executable program (ksaagent or ksaagent.exe) and an updated ABAP transport. Install both programs to obtain the highest level of support. In some situations, you cannot install a new transport immediately because of change control processes on the mySAP systems. In these situations, sometimes you can run a new agent executable with a prior version of the ABAP transport. This section explains when it is possible to run a newer agent executable program with an older version of an ABAP transport. Note: The mySAP agent does not run correctly if not installed with a compatible level of the transport.

IBM Datacap Rulerunner server stops after several aborted batches - United States Rulerunner hang stop abort TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) After several batches abort consecutively in Rulerunner, all threads shut down. CAUSE Rulerunner has a thread control feature that acts as a safety to prevent all pending batches from aborting. When it detects a certain number of consecutively aborted batches on a single thread, Rulerunner shuts down all threads. By default, the threshold is three batches, so shutdown occurs if four batches abort consecutively. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM With Rulerunner logging turned on, aborting batches will show in the rulerunnerX.log files (where X is the thread number. If there is a question as to whether a Rulerunner shutdown is being caused by this feature, check the rulerunnerX logs for each thread to see if there are four consecutive aborts followed by a shutdown. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM If there is a need to change this behavior due to situations where a large number of batches might legitimately abort, the threshold can be increased or the feature can be turned off through the following registry keys. x86 (32-bit) OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart Individual processors [default: 1] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart processor Attempts [default: 3] x64 (64-bit) OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart Individual processors [default: 1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart processor Attempts [default: 3] * Restart Individual processors - 1 is on, 0 is off. * Restart processor Attempts - Number of times Rulerunner will move to the next batch without shutting down the threads after a series of batches abort.

Controlling stop and starting of Rulerunner Service Hi Datacap version 9.0.1 Is there a way of issuing a controlled shutdown request so the thread has time to finish processing whichever tasks it is executing so that no batches are aborted due to the communication link error?

If there is a need to change this behavior due to situations where a large number of batches might legitimately abort, the threshold can be increased or the feature can be turned off through the following registry keys. x86 (32-bit) OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart Individual processors [default: 1] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart processor Attempts [default: 3] x64 (64-bit) OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart Individual processors [default: 1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart processor Attempts [default: 3] * Restart Individual processors - 1 is on, 0 is off. * Restart processor Attempts - Number of times Rulerunner will move to the next batch without shutting down the threads after a series of batches abort.

IBM Changes in the default user identifier between WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS and WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION You have configured a WebSphere Application Server WebSphere MQ messaging provider connection factory without an Authentication Alias and do not programmatically supply user identifier information when creating a connection to a queue manager. You notice a change in the default behaviour between WebSphere Application Server versions regarding the user identifier flowed on the MQCONN to the target WebSphere MQ Queue Manager: - When using WebSphere Application Server v7.0 and v8.0, no user identifier value (blank) is passed to the queue manager. - When using WebSphere Application Server V8.5, a non-blank user identifier value is passed to the queue manager. In the latter case, you receive the following exception when creating a connection to a queue manager: JMSCMQ0001: WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '2' ('MQCC_FAILED') reason '2035' ('MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED') Is this change in behaviour expected? ANSWER WebSphere MQ access control is based on user identifiers. There is a deliberate change in the default behaviour between the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS and the WebSphere MQ V7.1 (and later) classes for JMS regarding the default user identifier flowed to the queue manager. From the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS onwards, a non-blank user identifier is always flowed to the queue manager when creating a connection to WebSphere MQ. This is true even if no user identifier has been specified, or a blank or null user identifier has been specified; for example by calling: MQConnectionFactory.createConnection(); or: MQConnectionFactory.createConnection(“”, “”); or: MQConnectionFactory.createConnection(null, null); In the case where a null or blank user identifier has been specified, the WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later classes for JMS will query the value of the Java System Property user.name. The value of this property is flowed to the queue manager for authorization. As a result, if the user identifier specified by the Java System Property user.name is not authorized to access the queue manager, the queue manager will return an exception to the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS with Reason Code MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED and the connection to the queue manager will not be established. This change in behaviour could affect topologies that previously relied on the default behaviour in the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS that flowed a blank user identifier when establishing a CLIENT mode transport connection. The expectation that a blank or null user identifier will be flowed by default, and that the user identifier that started the WebSphere MQ server-connection channel would be used by the queue manager when performing the authorization checks, is no longer valid from the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS. In the case outlined above, system administrators that are currently relying on the default behaviour of the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS should review their configurations regarding the use of user identifiers and authorization. This might also help to improve security within their WebSphere MQ topology. In summary, the change in behaviour will affect users of: - The WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later classes for JMS. - The WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later JCA Resource Adapter that includes the classes for JMS. - Versions of WebSphere Application Server that include the WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later JCA Resource Adapter. Currently this is WebSphere Application Server V8.5.0.0 and later. The com.ibm.mq.jms.ForceUserID Java System Property A Java System Property called “com.ibm.mq.jms.ForceUserID” was introduced as part of APAR IZ49302 [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IZ49302] and included from WebSphere MQ V6.0.2.8 and WebSphere MQ V7.0.1. The changes made as part of this APAR could be used to change the default behaviour in the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS regarding the user identifier value flowed to the queue manager when creating a connection. This property is no longer valid from WebSphere MQ V7.1. Setting this property will have no affect on the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS and later. Other Useful Resources WebSphere MQ Documentation The WebSphere MQ Documentation contains a section on planning user authorization which also includes a description on access control for clients. A link to this section in the WebSphere MQ V7.1 Documentation is as follows: WebSphere MQ > Security > Planning for your security requirements >> Planning authorization [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r1/topic/com.ibm.mq.doc/zs14070_.htm] Technotes A Technote is available that explains J2C Authentication Aliases and how they can be used to configure the user identifier flowed to a queue manager when creating a connection: Enterprise applications, the WebSphere Application Server WebSphere MQ messaging provider connection factories and Authentication Aliases explained [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21580097] Cross reference information Segment Product Component Platform Version Edition Application Servers WebSphere Application Server

IBM Specifying the profile path in the BPMConfig properties file for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) - United States BPMConfig; profile; path; directory TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION How do you specify the profile path in the configuration properties file for IBM Business Process Manager so you can use it with the BPMConfig command? ANSWER Note: The information that is contained in this document has been moved to dW Answers at this location [https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/171346/how-do-you-specify-the-profile-path-with-bpmconfig.html]. The new format will allow you to ask questions of the community to better understand the information. This technote will be archived in 60 days. Please bookmark the new location. You can use the following property names: * For a Deployment Manager profile: bpm.dmgr.profilePath * For a Custom profile: bpm.de.node.#.profilePath For example: bpm.dmgr.profilePath=/usr/IBM/bpm85/profiles/DmgrProfile bpm.de.node.1.profilePath=c:\\Program Files\\WebSphere\\profiles\\MyCustomProfile1 For Microsoft Windows, you can use double backslashes or forward slashes. For example: bpm.de.node.1.profilePath=c:/Program Files/WebSphere/profiles/MyCustomProfile1 Note: If you are creating the profile makes sure a profilePath value does not exist. The parent directory of the profile path should exist and the user should have write privileges to create a new directory. For example, if you want to create a profile under the /usr/BPM850profiles/myProfile directory. Create the/usr/BPM850profiles directory, but do not create the /usr/BPM850profiles/myProfile directory.

IBM ITCAM for SOA KD4SDMS database size grows - United States CAMSOAALL CAMSOADB CAMSOAPERF REQMETRICS RESPMETRICS kd4TrimDB2db TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION As the KD4SDMS grows unbounded, is there a way to regularly prune it? ANSWER Regarding the older release ITCAM for SOA 7.1.1, there is no a mechanism to automatically regularly prune the KD4SDMS database. The following Wiki page has been published on the topic: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli+Composite+Application+Manager/page/Pruning+SDMS+Relationship+Metrics+Tables [https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli+Composite+Application+Manager/page/Pruning+SDMS+Relationship+Metrics+Tables] To keep only the latest 24 hours every day (regular pruning), you can schedule a daily job to run the kd4TrimDB2db utility provided above. As for the newer ITCAM for SOA 7.2, there is a cleanup task that runs on the TEPS host where SDMS database is installed. It deletes REQMETRICS and RESPMETRICS table rows where SRTTIME (start of period) is more than 24 hours ago. So these two tables, which are responsible for most of KD4SDMS storage occupation, should not grow unbounded anymore. NOTE: ITCAM for SOA 7.1.1 is Out-Of-Support since 2015 April 30.

How to control SDMS database size? ITCAM for SOA 7.1.1 was installed about 3 years ago. I already know that SDMS database size may increase with no limit. Has anyone found a way to keep under control this behavior?

To keep only the latest 24 hours every day (regular pruning), you can schedule a daily job to run the kd4TrimDB2db utility provided above.

IBM Configuring file content extraction tools for IBM Connections Search - United States stellent file content conversion extraction TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM IBM Connections uses the Stellent (Oracle Outside In Technology) Export utility to extract text from documents of various types. The extracted text is added to the Search index allowing users to find documents based on the content. When the Stellent utility is not configured correctly, file content will not be extracted or indexed. Therefore, search results within IBM Connections will not contain any matches on file content. For any content extraction issues, follow the steps in this tech note. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM 1 Stellent installation Ensure that the following IBM Connections post-installation task has been carried out: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Copying_Search_conversion_tools_to_local_nodes_ic40 [http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Copying_Search_conversion_tools_to_local_nodes_ic40] 2 Running the exporter in isolation from IBM Connections To verify that the exporter is working correctly, you can run it on the command line in isolation from IBM Connections. To run the exporter executable on the command line, execute the following as the user that the Search WebSphere Application Server is running under: 1. Change directory to the Stellent binary location. For example: $ cd /opt/IBM/Connections/data/local/search/stellent/dcs/oiexport 2. Run the exporter command. The exporter command has the following syntax: exporter inputpath=<path_to_input_file> outputpath=<path_to_extracted_text_output> outputid=FI_SEARCHTEXT For example, $ ./exporter inputpath=/root/translation.pdf \ outputpath=/root/testStellent.txt outputid=FI_SEARCHTEXT If the text extraction worked successfully, you will see the following output: Export complete However, if you see a message like the one below, continue to step 3: ./exporter: error while loading shared libraries: libsc_ex.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 3 Operating System Environment Variables Ensure that the operating system environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH are set correctly in Section 1. Both variables should contain the Stellent installation directory. To get the current values of the environment variables, run the following commands as the user that the Search WebSphere Application Server is running under: $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ echo $PATH To verify that the Stellent exporter executable can be found through the PATH environment variable, run the following command: $ which exporter The output of this command should contain the full path to the exporter executable. For example: /opt/IBM/Connections/data/local/search/stellent/dcs/oiexport/exporter 4 WebSphere Environment Using the WebSphere Application Server administration console, ensure that the WebSphere environment variable FILE_CONTENT_CONVERSION points to the exporter executable. For example: /opt/IBM/Connections/data/local/search/stellent/dcs/oiexport/exporter 5 File Permissions Ensure that the user that the Search WebSphere Application Server is running under has sufficient privileges. They should have read/write/execute permissions on the exporter executable and read/write permissions on the other files in the Stellent installation directory. 6 Library compatibility Verify that the libraries deployed with Stellent are compatible with your platform. For example, on a 64 bit Linux system: $ uname -a Linux host1 2.6.18-308.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jun 15 15:41:53 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cd /opt/IBM/Connections/data/local/search/stellent/dcs/oiexport $ file libsc_ex.so libsc_ex.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped (Note that your Stellent installation may contain 32 bit libraries though you are running on 64 bit platform. This is not an issue, provided that the 32 bit compatible libraries are on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or can be found on the shared library search path). 7 Shared library dependencies The Stellent exporter executable has a number of dependencies on both the shared libraries packaged with Stellent and on shared libraries installed on your system. To verify that all the required shared libraries can be found, use the 'ldd' command on the exporter executable as follows: $ ldd -v exporter Check the output of this command for any shared libraries marked as '=> not found'. Stellent shared library not found If a Stellent shared library can't be found, then check that the setting of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH operating system environment variable contains the Stellent installation directory. System shared library not found If a system shared library can't be found, then you are missing a prerequisite library. NOTE: It is still possible to pick up libraries from locations other than those included in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH operating system environment variable, as long as they can be found elsewhere on the system's default search path. In addition to libc.so.6, Stellent is dependent upon the following libraries: libstdc++.so.5 libgcc_s.so.1 For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 and later, it is possible that you are missing the package compat-libstdc++-33 . This package contains libstdc++.so.5. * *

DCS Document Conversion issue: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for bundle com.stellent.scd.ExportResources, key 127 DCS Document Conversion issue: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for bundle com.stellent.scd.ExportResources, key 127

Installing APAR fixes (PTFs) using Recommended Service Upgrades (RSUs) as early as possible can help avoid problems that could result in a service call, and as long as you test appropriately, help reduce risks to your business. CONTENT [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27048530&amp;aid=1]Embedded components in CICS TS [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27012749#delivering] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27048530&amp;aid=2]Update recommendations [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27048530&amp;aid=3]Related information Components in CICS TS CICS TS provides the following embedded runtime components: * Equinox Equinox is an implementation of the OSGi core framework specification and is provided for both OSGi JVM servers and for Liberty JVM servers. Service for these components is provided when and if required. * Apache Axis2™ Axis2 is an open source web services engine from the Apache Software Foundation and is used within CICS to provide the web service Java™ engine for the Axis2 JVM server environment. Service for this component is provided when and if required. * WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile Liberty fix packs are provided on a regular basis through the CICS TS APAR delivery process and provide an update mechanism to keep the embedded CICS Liberty runtime synchronized with the fix packs provided by WebSphere Application Server. Keeping current helps you resolve problems faster for 2 reasons: * Liberty APAR fixes (known as ifixes) can only be delivered on the latest Liberty fix pack that has been supplied by the CICS APAR process. * CICS APAR fixes can require other fixes such as WebSphere Liberty fix packs. CICS Explorer and z/OS Explorer The CICS Software Development Kit (SDK) for Java includes components from CICS for developing CICS Java applications. The CICS SDK for Servlet and JSP support includes Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and Liberty API libraries, and automatically installs required components such as WebSphere Developer Toolkit (WDT)." Service for these components is provided through the CICS Explorer fix pack process when and if required. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27048530&amp;aid=4] Back to Top Update recommendations Recommended Service Upgrade (RSU) IBM recommends that you install all RSU [http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/support/servicetest/] PTFs as preventive software maintenance for CICS TS.

IBM Correct understanding of CSV version of PVU reports - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What files are in the audit snapshot generated by IBM License Metric Tool or IBM BigFix Inventory version 9.x, and what is the correct interpretation of the values in the CSV report files? CAUSE The licensing reports in CSV format can be misinterpreted by some customers. ANSWER Audit snapshot is a record of PVU and RVU MAPC utilization in your enterprise over a period of time. It contains the following files: * audit_trail.csv – all user actions that influence the final results of the licensing reports, for example, software classification actions, uploads and imports of the PVU table, software catalog, and charge units as well as changes to the VM managers. * data_conditions.txt – conditions that were used during the generation of the audit snapshot, including the reporting period and filters applied on the reports as well as general information about the time when the snapshot was generated, version of the PVU table and software catalog, status of the import, aggregation, and recalculation. * part_numbers.csv - part numbers that are listed in the software catalog for all software products that are included in any of the CSV report files. * pvu_full_capacity.csv - PVU full capacity license metric results * pvu_sub_capacity.csv - PVU subcapacity license metric results * rvu_full_capacity.csv - RVU full capacity license metric results * rvu_sub_capacity.csv - RVU subcapacity license metric results * bundling_definitions.csv - list of IBM software regardless of its license type and utilization together with details of the computers on which the software is installed * readme.txt - a link to this document (technote) * checksums.txt, signature.rsa, and pub_key.pem - files used by IBM auditors to verify the authenticity and correctness of the audit snapshot. Why some product instances are not listed in the CSV reports? CSV reports with information about PVU and RVU MAPC utilization (pvu_full_capacity.csv, pvu_sub_capacity.csv, rvu_full_capacity.csv, and rvu_sub_capacity.csv) list only software instances that were discovered during the license peak value time. If an instance was installed in your environment during the reporting period of the current audit snapshot but was not discovered during the license peak value time, the instance is not listed in the CSV reports. Example: Three instances of DB2 are installed. The reporting period is set to one month and DB2 license utilization is as follows: · Instance 1 uses the maximum of 100 PVUs, · Instance 2 uses the maximum of 300 PVUs, · Instance 3 uses the maximum of 500 PVUs. The license peak value occurs when the sum of PVU values for all instances is the highest and equals 800 PVUs (300 PVUs for instance 2 + 500 PVUs for instance 3). The peak occurs during the period that is marked with a red square (it is the license peak value time). The peak usage for instance 1 is outside of the red square. It means that this instance was installed in the environment during the current reporting period but was not discovered during the license peak value time. This instance is not listed in the CSV report. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=1] Why some values from the CSV report do not relate back to what is displayed on the user interface? When all values from column M (Physical Server PVU Subcapacity) for a particular product are added, the obtained value is greater that the value that is displayed in the user interface. It happens due to the way that data is presented in CSV reports and on the user interface. The All IBM Metrics and IBM PVU subcapacity reports are multilevel, and consist of the following levels: 1. First level: a list of all products [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=2] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=2] 2. Second level: when you click a product name, you go to information about the physical server on which the product is installed. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=3] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=3] 3. Third level: when you click the server name, you go to a list of virtual machines that run on this server and have the product installed. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=4] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=4] The audit snapshot is not multilevel. However, it has to present the same information that the report that is available in the user interface. Below is an excerpt from the audit snapshot that corresponds to the report that was presented on the screen shots above (some columns are hidden in the snapshot to simplify it). [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=5] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=5] When values in column M are added, PVU consumption equals 480 PVUs. However, these values should not be added because they all refer to a single server (TLM_VM_423…) on which the four VMs run, not an individual VM that is listed in column P (Computer). The value in column M is repeated due to the way data needs to be presented in a CSV file. If you want to relate back the value from column M in the audit snapshot to the user interface report, it is the value that you can see in the column PVU Subcapacity Limit on the second level of the report. The value in column L relates back to the column CPU Core Subcapacity on the second level of the report. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=6] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=6] PVU and RVU MAPC subcapacity license terms specify license consumption only on the physical server level. PVU and RVU MAPC values cannot be calculated and presented on the virtual machine or LPAR level, and such data is not provided by License Metric Tool or BigFix Inventory. For more information about virtualization capacity license counting rules that are used for PVU and RVU MAPC calculation, see: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/Counting_Software_licenses_using_specific_virtualization_technologies.html [http://www-01.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/Counting_Software_licenses_using_specific_virtualization_technologies.html] RELATED INFORMATION Understanding CSV files with metric utilization [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JFY_9.2.0/com.ibm.lmt.doc/Inventory/softinv/c_understanding_csv.html] Cross reference information Segment Product Component Platform Version Edition Security IBM BigFix Inventory

Can I see the exact number of PVU used in our VM environment Hi, Happy new year! Can I see the exact number of PVU used in our VM environment, if yes, how to check? I want to be sure that we are using correct number of PVU we have license for. We have installed Datastage on a windows 2016 standard server with 2 processor and 2 cores per processor assigned to this virtual server. The blade server that is used by this datastage server has 2 processors, 6 cores each. After configuring ILMT for the first time, the metric reports showed 120 PVU per core, so a total of 480 full capacity. Then we defined VM manager, and now reports show a PVU total of 840 full capacity and 480 sub capacity.

IBM Java SDK Upgrade Policy for the IBM WebSphere Application Server - United States upgrade policy TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What is the Java™ SDK upgrade policy for the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server? CAUSE Updating to the latest compatible Java SDK could help you resolve problems more quickly. ANSWER The IBM WebSphere Application Server Java SDK can be upgraded to the latest service release for the same Java SDK version. List of WebSphere Application Server fix packs and the corresponding Java SDK versions [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27005002] Policy Summary by WebSphere Application Server release: WebSphere Application Server V8.0, V8.5, V8.5.5 Starting with V8.0 and applicable to all subsequent releases and fixpacks, there is one install package that contains updates for both WebSphere Application Server and Java SDK. Applying fixpacks of WebSphere Application Server also upgrades the SDK that is packaged and bundled within the fixpack. Additionally, separate Java SDK fixpacks are also available that contain just the SDK updates which can be applied to upgrade the SDK. WebSphere Application Server V7.0 Any V7.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.6.0 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Any V6.1 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.5.0 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server V6.0 Any V6.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.4.2 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server V5.1 Any V5.1 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.4.1 and any V5.1.1 can be upgraded to the latest Java SDK 1.4.2 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server V5.0 Any V5.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.3.1 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. Details of Java SDK Upgrade Policy WebSphere Application Server leverages the Java SDK as a base component. This results in unique support issues, including: * Matching Java SDK service releases to Application Server releases and fix packs * Delivering updates and fixes associated with the Java SDK on any given Application Server release. In an effort to resolve customer Java SDK situations as quickly as possible, WebSphere Application Server Support has done a quickest-path-to-resolution analysis, determining the most direct way to collect problem information. In some cases, problem resolution might include finding shortcuts to resolve symptoms. One shortcut is an immediate upgrade to a newer compatible Java SDK service release, before gathering detailed problem determination data. There are multiple advantages to performing an immediate Java SDK upgrade as a quicker path to resolution over a full Problem Determination (PD) process: 1. There is a continuous stream of fixes going into the Java SDK. Many problems encountered by customers are resolved by these fixes. 2. When a new problem is encountered, applying the latest Java SDK is a quick way to determine if related fixes change the symptoms or correct the problem. 3. Many documented Java SDK fixes have common symptoms. Frequently, limited PD data does not isolate the problem to a single root cause. These factors highlight the advantage of applying a newer Java SDK before working through a full PD cycle. Java SDK and WebSphere Application Server software are updated frequently. To avoid compatibility issues for customers, WebSphere Application Server Support maintains this Java SDK Upgrade Policy. WebSphere Application Server Support details: http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support.html [http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support.html] Identifying compatibility limitations between WebSphere Application Server releases and Java SDK service releases that have not been tested together reduces risk. Important: Using a Java SDK not specifically packaged with WebSphere Application Server and supplied by IBM, or in violation of the Java SDK Upgrade Policy, is not supported by IBM WebSphere Application Server Support for Java SDK problems.

IBM How do I process Sparse data objects Identified in the Audit - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION How do I turn on sparse data object processing ANSWER After harvesting a volume, the audit may show "skipped - cannot access data object", with a sparse data object message recorded in the details section. To correct this problem, ensure that no jobs are running. SSH into the Data Server(s) and enter the following command at the prompt; psql -U dfuser dfdata -c "insert into adminknobs (name,value,description,valuetype,use) VALUES ('read_sparse_files','1','Read sprase data objects','int','1')" It should return the following; INSERT 0 1 if so, enter the following command and wait for the UI to come back up; service siqinit restart You can now run harvests as normal and sparse data objects will be processed. If your are using a policy which backs up the original files and just leaves a sparse file viewable that when accessed, will pull the original file forward, you may run into space issues. This is because SIQ will be accessing every sparse file, so the sparse files' size on disk will grow to the same size as the original file.

How do you switch on the indexing of sparse file in StoredIQ? By default these are skipped - does anyone know where to switch them on on the dataserver?

IBM Error # 2070. The license server is down. Specific symptom number: 3 - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION We have network installations of IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler. When the application is launched, the following errors are reported: "The current license does not permit this job to continue." followed by... "Error # 2070 The license server is down. Please check to see that the license server is running or ask your local SPSS coordinator to check the license server. This command is not executed. Specific symptom number: 3." The Safenet Sentinel License Manager has been licensed and confirmed to be running. What is the problem? CAUSE The above error can be caused by invalid values entered during the licensing phase of installing SPSS Statistics/Modeler or the client machine cannot reach the Sentinel License Manager host using the machine Hostname. ANSWER Please do the following to verify: 1. Navigate to the IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler directory and open "spssprod.inf", using any text editor. - By default, SPSS Statistics would store this file in: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\xx\ - By default, SPSS Modeler would store this file in: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Modeler\xx.x\bin\ 2. Verify the "DaemonHost" value matches the Hostname or IP Address of the machine where the Safenet Sentinel License Manager is installed. - E.g. DaemonHost=MyLicenseServer or DaemonHost=127.0.0.1 If the DaemonHost value specifies redundant license servers, please do the following if you are using SPSS Statistics 22 (or earlier) or SPSS Modeler 16.0 (or earlier): a). Remove all license servers from the "DaemonHost" line and save the file. b). Create a system environment variable, called LSHOST, on each SPSS client with your redundant license servers as its value. Separate each redundant license server with a colon, e.g. ========================== Variable: LSHOST Value: server1:server2:server3 ========================== If the "DaemonHost" value is accurate and you are using a Hostname value, you have a name resolution problem. Error # 2070, Symptom number 3 typically means the SPSS client cannot connect to the name resolution database or the name resolution database does not contain a record for the machine where the SPSS Sentinel License Manager resides. To verify, please do the following: 1. Run lswhere.exe (which is located in the SPSS directory, see above) from the problematic SPSS Client machine and take note of the displayed output. The following is an example of the output: ========================== Sentinel LM 8.x.x Search Tool For License Servers Copyright (C) 20xx Rainbow Technologies, Inc. Server Address : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Server Name : Machine_A ========================== If the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine is not listed or you encounter the error, "Error[17]: Probably no servers are running on this subnet.", please add the following system environment variable to the IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler client and run lswhere.exe again: ========================== Variable: LSHOST Value: Name or IP address of the License Manager machine ========================== For information about defining environment variables, see the Network License Administrator's Guide. If using the LSHOST environment variable does not render the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine, try using LSFORCEHOST instead. 2. When you see the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine name and corresponding IP address listed in the lswhere output, ping the displayed Server Name from a command line, e.g. ========================== ping Machine_A ========================== An example of the resulting output is as follows: ========================== Unknown host Machine_A ========================== If the ping command is unable to resolve the Server Name, you have a name resolution problem and must address it (with help from your IT Administrator/Help Desk team) before IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler can acquire a license from the Sentinel License Manager.

Error #2070 I purchased the SPSS grad pack and put one of the licenses on one computer and another on this one. This computer crashed and I was forced to reformat the hard drive. Subsequently, I lost SPSS in the process. After reinstalling the program, when I attempted to open a data set I received this error: Error #2070 The application is unable to communicate properly with the license server. The license server may be down, or there may be other network-related communication or DNS issues interfering. This command is not executed. Specific symptom number: 3. WHat is causing this?

The above error can be caused by invalid values entered during the licensing phase of installing SPSS Statistics/Modeler or the client machine cannot reach the Sentinel License Manager host using the machine Hostname.

IBM Product upgrade installed a second instance of the DE, causing upgrade failure. - United States DEL2INST; Tivoli; Deployment; Engine; FQDN; Duplicate; acsi TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) The Deployment Engine should only have one instance installed on a server with IBM products installed. In this case, a second DE was installed, which caused the failure of the Product upgrade. Error: Wrong Deployment Engine. SYMPTOM Product install failed. You will get a message similar to this: You are updating an instance of <Product name> that was installed using the Tivoli Deployment Engine (DE) located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully Qualified hostname>". However you are now using the DE located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<hostname>". When the DE is installed as non-root ( in this case nc_admin ), it will install the DE in the user home directory, in this case /home/nc_admin, and use the FQDN in the name: /home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully Qualified hostname> CAUSE Because the two Product installs used different versions of JVM, the underlying Java is using "hostname" for one version of JVM, and "Fully Qualified hostname" for the other. The DE normally uses the FQDN appended to the "acsi_" string to create the DE directory: For example, if the Product is being installed as user "nc_admin" and the entry in /etc/hosts is this: x.xx.xxx.xx server_name.corporation.net server_name The hostname is "server_name" Fully Qualified hostname (FQDN) is "server_name.corporation.net" ENVIRONMENT Upgrading existing product that uses the Deployment Engine on a UNIX server DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM Output similar to this when the Product install fails: the Tivoli Deployment Engine (DE) located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully qualified hostname>". However you are now using the DE located at "<User_home>/nc_admin/.acsi_<hostname>" RESOLVING THE PROBLEM There are two options to fix this problem. 1) Make sure the current upgrade is using the same version of JVM as the original install. 2) Removing the newly created DE, which shouldn't have been created, then creating a link to the existing DE is the best work around in this case. The Product upgrade will see the link and add the information to the valid DE install. *IMPORTANT NOTE: The Product install failure message will tell you what instance of the DE is valid, please refer to the error message in the "Symptom" section above. At this point there will be the following in the DE_HOME directory: .acsi_<FQDN> ( Valid DE installation ) .acsi_<userid> ( link to .acsi_<FQDN> ) .acsi_<hostname> ( Invalid DE directory created by the failed Product upgrade ) This can be confirmed by referring to the Product install error. Removing the invalid DE and creating softlink: - Backup the original DE installation directory: <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN> - Move the new invalid DE directory to a backup directory: <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<hostname> - Create a soft link to the "good" DE install cd <DE_HOME> ln -s <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN> .acsi_<hostname> - Confirm the link was created successfully, it should look like this: > ls -lart lrwxrwxrwx 1 nc_admin ncoadmin <date> .acsi_<hostname> -> <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN> 3) Retry the product install. You will need to confirm there is no required cleanup before retrying the Product upgrade.

Product upgrade installed a second instance of the DE, causing upgrade failure. The Deployment Engine should only have one instance installed on a server with IBM products installed. In this case, a second DE was installed, which caused the failure of the Product upgrade. Error: Wrong Deployment Engine. Product install failed. You will get a message similar to this: You are updating an instance of (Product name) that was installed using the Tivoli Deployment Engine (DE) located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_FQDN". However you are now using the DE located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_HOSTNAME". When the DE is installed as non-root ( in this case nc_admin ), it will install the DE in the user home directory, in this case /home/nc_admin, and use the FQDN in the name: /home/nc_admin/.acsi_FQDN

There are two options to fix this problem. 1) Make sure the current upgrade is using the same version of JVM as the original install. 2) Removing the newly created DE, which shouldn't have been created, then creating a link to the existing DE is the best work around in this case. The Product upgrade will see the link and add the information to the valid DE install.

IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance MQ Manager Object's connections are not closed as expected. - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliance MQ Manager Object's connections are not closed as expected. This can happen when the mq-qm object uses the default value which is an empty string. CAUSE DataPower MQ manager object's idle connection is not closed when using default cache timeout. ANSWER Change the cache timeout on the IBM WebSphere DataPower MQ manager (mq-qm) object. You can start using a value of 60 seconds as the suggestion. The best practice is to use a value which should be less than the KeepAlive Timeout of the MQ Queue Manager (qmgr).

What may be the cause of unclosed MQ object connections on DataPower? How can I resolve open MQ object connections that did not close out on DataPower?

VULNERABILITY DETAILS CVE ID: CVE-2014-3566 [http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3566] DESCRIPTION: IBM HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a design error when using the SSLv3 protocol. A remote user with the ability to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability via a POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) attack to decrypt SSL sessions and access the plain text of encrypted connections. CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/97013 [https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/97013] for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N) AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS This vulnerability affects all versions and releases of IBM HTTP Server (IHS) component in all editions of WebSphere Application Server and bundling products. REMEDIATION/FIXES There is no separate interim fix for the PI27904 APAR that is associated with this issue, but the interim fix for APAR PI31516 (TLS Padding Vulnerability CVE-2014-8730 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21692502]) includes the update for APAR PI27904. APAR PI27904 update disables SSLv3 by default for IHS 7.0 and newer, and adds the 'SSLProtocolEnable' directive into IHS 7.0. The update for PI27904 will be included in fix packs 7.0.0.37, 8.0.0.10 and 8.5.5.4. WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS For all releases and versions of Apache based IBM HTTP Server, IBM recommends disabling SSLv3: Add the following directive to the httpd.conf file to disable SSLv3 and SSLv2 for each context that contains "SSLEnable": # Disable SSLv3 for CVE-2014-3566 # SSLv2 is disabled in V8R0 and later by default, and in typical V7 # and earlier configurations disabled implicitly when SSLv3 ciphers # are configured with SSLCipherSpec. SSLProtocolDisable SSLv3 SSLv2 Stop and restart IHS for the changes to take affect. Note: * If you start IHS with the -f command line argument, or you use the "Include" directive to include alternate configuration files, you may need to search those filenames for SSLEnable. * If you configure SSL with SSLEnable in the global (non-virtualhost) scope, you will need to move SSLEnable into a virtualhost scope to add SSLProtocolDisable IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify other areas that enable SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation (such as disabling SSLv3) and remediation actions.

IBM Unable to connect using network services: WebGUI or ssh after upgrading WebSphere DataPower firmware - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION Why can't I access the Web managment or ssh after upgrading firmware? CAUSE This can occur if you are using a custom certificate or authentication for the management services and any of the associated certificates are expired. Expired certificates are removed at upgrade time. ANSWER The first step is to verify that the network is functioning correctly using these commands: show int show int mode show route Those commands will show if there is any network activity as well as the ethernet link speed. Once the network is confirmed, the quickest way to recover the web management and ssh services is to delete and recreate them with the default settings using the serial console. The following commands will reset the RBM's, ACL's, WebGUI and SSH services to the default settings. Note: If the ssh is working, you may omit any commands with the ssh. config web-mgmt no ssl exit write mem y no web-mgmt no ssh rbm reset exit acl web-mgmt reset exit acl ssh reset exit write mem (key step to remove the current settings) y web-mgmt <ip to listen on or 0.0.0.0 for all> <port to use default is9090> ssh <ip to listen on or 0.0.0.0 for all> <port to use default is22> write mem y Once complete, test the service and confirm you can now access the appliance. Then you may work to configure any custom certificates or authentication settings desired.

IBM BigFix Server unable to gather site content from sync.bigfix.com (error: Unexpected HTTP response: 404) - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Identifying a block between the BigFix Server and IBM BigFix's sync.bigfix.com content servers. SYMPTOM Error messages similar to the following in the BESRelay.log on the BigFix server: * * * http://sync.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/bfgather/bessupport?Time=1452540085: * * * * * Error messages similar to the following in the GatherDB.log on the BigFix server: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:43:22 -0500 -- Unexpected exception during gather of site BES Support: Unexpected HTTP response: 404 Note: If the BES Support cannot gather for the first time the entire console is empty of its UI elements. CAUSE 1. There is most likely an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) between the BigFix server and our content sites at sync.bigfix.com that is dropping the download because it is detecting something in the download (one of the sites files) as being malicious. If you do not have an IPS between the BigFix server and the sync.bigfix.com servers; it may be the firewall or proxy appliance that is causing the issue. 2. Another cause might be that Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled for Administrators on the BigFix Windows server machine. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM 1. Check with the firewall/proxy/IPS/network admin and ask them to check the logs for dropped packets or downloads and to adjust the rules to allow the BES Support site content through. 2. Try turning off Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration [https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/chenley/2011/03/10/how-to-turn-off-internet-explorer-enhanced-security-configuration/] for Administrators to see if this resolves the issue.

Why does my login fail when I use the ltpa-usrnm attribute? You use a Domino server as your LDAP, and the login attribute you want to use is ltpa-usrnm. This is acceptable, as the login attribute can be set accordingly in the wimconfig.xml. When the search string is built for the login, it is in the form, cn=username, o=orgname.

IBM EIF probe not receiving itm events - United States om_tec.conf eif probe itm event clearing omnibus TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) ITM is sending events to EIF probe which is then forwarded to the OMNIbus Server. Client is observing that the clearing event is sent per the ITM trace/log but the event does not seem to be received into EIF or OMNIbus as the triggered event is still seen in OMNIbus. SYMPTOM Situation in ITM is no longer true but event is not cleared in OMNIbus. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM The iptrace shows that the EIF probe on the OMNIbus side is resetting/closing(<RST>) the TCP/IP connection after it receives the event and it never shows up in the EIF logs, so the event is just dropped. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The solution is to set the connection_mode in your om_tec.config on the ITM Server (TEMS) to use connection_less instead of connection oriented. That is, change this line in your om_tec.config ConnectionMode=co to ConnectionMode=connection_less You will need to restart the EIF on your ITM. (tacmd refreshTECinfo -t eif)

IBM Limitations when deploying more than one Rule Execution Server console - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) It is possible to deploy several Rule Execution Server (RES) Console in the same cluster, however there are some administrative interactions from RES components to RES console that may not work due to the presence of more than one RES management stack within the same administrative scope. SYMPTOM When a RES component makes an attempt to interact with a RES Console management stack (through a JMX invocation) the following exception may occur if more than one RES Console is deployed within an administrative cell: ... java.lang.IllegalStateException at ilog.rules.res.mbean.util.IlrSingleMBeanInvocationHandler.invoke(Unknown Source) ... Note: a similar exception can be seen when no RES Console is found so the first thing to verify is that a RES Console is completely deployed and that it passes the diagnostic properly before considering the issue in this present note. CAUSE The scope of the management API (JMX) is typically that of the Cell (WebSphere), Domain (Weblogic) or Partition(JBoss). RES components that interact directly with the RES Console management stack normally expect to find exactly one RES Console within the this management scope : an error can arise from not finding a RES Console management stack, as well as finding more than one. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Certain use cases are supported that involve deploying more than one RES console in a cluster, most notably for situations where a active/passive fail over is needed, see the following document for more information: Clustering Rule Execution Server (RES) management console [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21426014] However there is a number of limitations that one can face when several RES consoles are deployed within the same administrative cell, such as : 1. The use of the API ilog.rules.session.IlrManagementSession (reference [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/brjrules/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.ilog.jrules.doc/html/api/html/ilog/rules/res/session/IlrManagementSession.html]) may fail with a java.lang.IllegalStateException as per the symptom above. In this situation, the only option is to deploy a single RES Console per cell. 2. With JRules 6.x deploying RSM in a cell where more than one RES console is deployed can lead to java.lang.IllegalStateException as per the symptom above when attempting to add an SSP through the RSM console. 3. With JRules 7.x DVS scenario suite executions initiated from Rule Studio to be run on a remote Java EE server in a cell where more than one RES console is deployed may fail with java.lang.IllegalStateException as per the symptom above. 4. The use of interceptors (i.e. IlrSessionInterceptor implementations) may fail with a java.lang.IllegalStateException or an error message such as ilog.rules.res.session.interceptor.IlrSessionInterceptorException: Unable to find RuleApp /myruleapp/myruleset for use by the interceptor. In this situation, the only option is to deploy a single RES Console per cell. For situations 2. and 3. note that DVS and RSM are normally deployed in a non-production environment since they support the testing process of the rules prior to their deployment to production. So in practice it is not necessary to deploy multiple RES console instances for fail over purpose when in a testing environment. The recommendation is then to set up RES console and SSP in a testing cell that is separate from the production cell. In this testing cell, only one instance of RES console should be installed.

Rules view statistics shows no statistics We converted the single RulesMgrSvr in a cluster and added a second RulesMgrSvr member on another node. The rules console on the first node works fine. On the second member view statistics fails, no statistics or error messages are shown

It is possible to deploy several Rule Execution Server (RES) Console in the same cluster, however there are some administrative interactions from RES components to RES console that may not work due to the presence of more than one RES management stack within the same administrative scope.

IBM Security Cache, LTPA Token, and Session Time Outs - United States session; cache; logout; login; timeout; time out; LTPA TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What happens when the Security Cache, LTPA Token timeout, and session time out? ANSWER Question 1 What happens when the Security Cache times out? Will the user be asked to re-login? Answer 1 No. When using single sign-on (SSO), the Security Cache will refresh from the LTPA Token. If your LTPA Token is also expired, then the user will be asked to re-login. Also, the cache timeout period is reset every time that entry is hit. So, if the entry is hit 9 minutes into the 10 minute timeout period, the clock is reset at that time. So, instead of timing out in another minute, it is now reset for another 10 minutes, then if it's hit again in that time, it will get extended again. When using Local operating system for authentication, the user will be asked to login when the session times out, not the security cache. In V6.1, the Federated Repository has it's own cache settings. See the link under Related Information. Question 2 1. Using a browser, we accessed a secured application, we provided the UserID (UserA) and a valid PW (Password1). A token was created. So far everything is working fine. 2. You manually changed the password for UserA in the LTPA (LDAP or custom registry) from Password1 to Password2. 3. Using a new browser we accessed the application providing UserA and the new password (Password2) a token was created and again everything is working as expected. 4. Using a another new browser we accessed the application providing UserA and the old password (Password1). You were surprised to notice that a token was created and UserA was able to access the application. Answer 2 The old password takes up to 1.5 times the security cache to disappear. It will also expire at the end of the LTPA token timeout. In IBM WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 and later, you can purge a user from the security cache using an MBean interface. See the Related Information at the end of this article. Question 3 I want to force my users to re-login after a set "inactivity timeout" period. How is WebSphere Application Server supposed to work with regard to session timeouts and LTPA timeout. Answer 3 See the answer to this question in item 9 of the following developerWorks article: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/1003_botzum/1003_botzum.html [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/1003_botzum/1003_botzum.html] Question 4 If this is the case, can we expire or delete the LTPAToken cookie when the session expires? If so, what mechanism should we use? Answer 4 You can manually perform a form-based logout (as described in the Information Center) to request that the LTPAToken cookie be destroyed in the web browser, but within WebSphere Application Server, there is no functionality to automatically perform the form-based logout when the session times out. This would have to be performed programmatically.

Why isn't my LTPA token auto-renewing in Chrome? After using Maximo 7.6.0.8 from Chrome for a while (an hour?) my session became "dead".

But there were loads of these errors in the logs for me. What's going wrong? This dW Answers question is about an IBM document with the Title: SECJ0371W Warning Message Additional Information

IBM Exported dates to IBM FileNet Content Engine are one day off in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture - United States FileNet P8; FNP8; Export; yesterday; GMT; UTC TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Dates exported to IBM FileNet P8 Content Engine show yesterday's date when viewed by an IBM FileNet Content Engine client CAUSE IBM FileNet Content Engine stores all time stamps using UTC format. If a date is passed into IBM FileNet Content Engine with no time component then the time defaults to midnight UTC, which may indicate the prior date when converted back into local time. Taskmaster does not convert or handle dates in GMT/UTC and thus any date values must be formatted by the application rules prior to export to IBM FileNet Content Engine RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Modify the date/time value into proper GMT/UTC format of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM[:SS] and then add a time offset to account for the GMT time difference, e.g. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-HH:MM, prior to export to FileNet P8. The action IsFieldDateWithReformat from the Validations library can be called with a parameter of "s" (no quotation marks) to format a local date/time value to UTC; a GMT offset can be appended to a UTC value with any standard action such as rrSet from the rrunner library. Example 1: Description Field Value (Case A) Field Value (Case B) Data captured 05/31/2012 15:00 05/31/2012 IsFieldDateWithReformat(s) 2012-05-31T15:00:00 2012-05-31T00:00:00 rrSet(@F+-07:00,@F) 2012-05-31T15:00:00-07:00 2012-03-15T00:00:00-07:00 Here the initial field value is first transformed to UTC. The rrSet action is called to append the GMT offset "-07:00" to the field value. Example 2: Description Field Value (Case A) Field Value (Case B) Data captured 05/31/2012 15:00 05/31/2012 IsFieldDateWithReformat(s) 2012-05-31T15:00:00 2012-05-31T00:00:00 rrSet(@F+@CHR(43)+07:00,@F) 2012-05-31T15:00:00+07:00 2012-03-15T00:00:00+07:00 Here the initial field value is first transformed to UTC. The rrSet action is called to append the GMT offset "+07:00" to the field value, @CHR is used to avoid conflict with the concatenation operator. Note: IBM FileNet Content Engine may have a back end setting for Daylight Savings Time (DST), thus modifying the GMT offset to account for DST may not be necessary.

I'm using the following to send value to FileNet: FNP8_SetProperty ("DataEmissao,@DATE(dd/MM/yyyy)+@STRING( )+@TIME(HH:MM),Datetime") The export works fine, but if I check the Datetime property in FEM I can see that the TIME was stored wrong, exactly 3 hours less. e.g: Current Datetime is: 19/08/2013 18:10 Value stored in FEM: 19/08/2013 15:10 Can someone help me? What I'm doing wrong? Thank's

Modify the date/time value into proper GMT/UTC format of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM[:SS] and then add a time offset to account for the GMT time difference, e.g. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-HH:MM, prior to export to FileNet P8. The action IsFieldDateWithReformat from the Validations library can be called with a parameter of "s" (no quotation marks) to format a local date/time value to UTC; a GMT offset can be appended to a UTC value with any standard action such as rrSet from the rrunner library.

IBM Locked files encountered during Windows agent silent installation - United States locked files; silent; remote; installation; Windows TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) A silent installation of the Windows NT agent aborts due to locked files. SYMPTOM The Customer's AbortIBMTivoliMonitoring yyyymmdd hhmm.log (for example AbortIBMTivoliMonitoring20150409 1014.log) shows the following messages & errors. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 CheckLockedFiles - Search directory C:\IBM\ITM for locked files. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 CheckLockedFiles - File C:\IBM\ITM\InstSpbs\WINDOWS\ISSetup.dll is locked. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 File C:\IBM\ITM\InstSpbs\WINDOWS\ISSetup.dll could not be renamed, errors may occur. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 CheckLockedFiles - File C:\IBM\ITM\InstSpbs\WINDOWS\setup.exe is locked. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 File C:\IBM\ITM\InstSpbs\WINDOWS\setup.exe could not be renamed, errors may occur. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 CheckLockedFiles - Directory C:\IBM\ITM has locked files. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 CheckedLockedFiles - silent install processing 4-9-2015 10:15:22 CheckedLockedFiles - Check[C:\IBM\ITM\InstSpbs\silent_winos622_64bit_prod.txt] for Locked Files=continue 4-9-2015 10:15:22 CheckLockedFiles - Locked files not present. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 CheckLockedFiles - Directory C:\IBM\ITM - return TRUE 4-9-2015 10:15:22 Directory C:\IBM\ITM has locked files. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 Correct and launch setup again. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 Directory C:\IBM\ITM has locked files, unable to continue. 4-9-2015 10:15:22 SEVERE: ERROR - Install aborted. CAUSE A limitation for remote deployment and silent installations indicates: A silent installation terminates if product files are locked. This behavior ensures that the installer does not overwrite product files that are currently running. The best practice is to shut down all components, including monitoring servers, portal server, and portal clients before you perform any product upgrade. This limitation only affects silent installations. Installations through the installation wizard is not affected. ENVIRONMENT Any Windows version Any ITM component installed silently DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM Look in <ITMHOME>\InstallITM for a file name with syntax similar to: AbortIBMTivoliMonitoring<DATE TIME>.log For example: AbortIBMTivoliMonitoring20150409 1014.log RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Workaround: Use the following method to resolve the problem: 1. Search the installation log for instances of the CheckLockedFiles string. Locked files are listed at these places. Locked files are files that might need to be upgraded during an installation, and because they are in use (locked) the silent install terminates. 2. Identify the process that is locking the files. 3. Stop the process. 4. Prevent file locking by modifying the response file for installation file. This step is required when a silent installation has terminated. a. Open the response file in a text editor. In many cases, the file in which you make this modification is named silent.txt. On Windows, the file to modify is the NT_Silent_Install.txt file that is located on the monitoring server. b. Add the following line to the [INSTALLATION SECTION] area of your silent install response file: Locked Files=continue If you apply any other value or assign no value for this parameter, silent installations fail when locked files exist. c. If Locked Files=continue is used in a silent install or remote deploy, the computer MUST be rebooted before ITM is brought up or another install is run. This is mandatory or the <ITMHOME> directory could become corrupt. If the <ITMHOME> directory becomes corrupt, all of ITM will have to be uninstalled and reinstalled. 5. Run the silent installation again.

Why does silent install abort indicating files are locked? Silent installs can fail reporting that there are locked files under the ITM installation directory on Windows platform. Why does this happen? Example: C:\IBM\ITM\InstallITM\ Abort IBM Tivoli Monitoring 20160203 1832.log 02-03-2016 18:37:10: File C:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6\deploy.jar is locked. 02-03-2016 18:37:10: File C:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6\deploy.jar could not be renamed, errors may occur. 02-03-2016 18:37:17: Directory C:\IBM\ITM has locked files. 02-03-2016 18:37:17: Correct and launch setup again. 02-03-2016 18:37:17: Directory C:\IBM\ITM has locked files, unable to continue. 02-03-2016 18:37:17: SEVERE: ERROR - Install aborted.

Select the Orb Tracing check box to enable Comm Tracing. Deployment Manager From the Administrative Console, Select System Administration > Deployment Manager > ORB Service. Select the Orb Tracing check box to enable Comm Tracing. NOTE: You will need to do a server restart for the Comm Tracing to be captured in the trace.log file. You can also leave the Orb Tracing check box checked permanently in case you run into another ORB issue in the future. That way, you don't have to do another server restart for the trace to be captured. Leaving the Orb Tracing check box checked won't log any data to a trace log unless you have the ORBRas=all trace string enabled (Step 2 above). This means it won't cause any performance issues or affect anything else in the server. 8. Apply and save changes. 9. Restart the sever and recreate the problem 10.

RESOLVING THE PROBLEM This error indicates that a user session file is corrupted on the database server. This defect is resolved in IBM Rational DOORS Version 9.4.0.1 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27036720#9401] WORKAROUND: the following options can be used to correct this problem: * Retrieve the missing file from system backup and insert it into the module current.ver directory The advantage of inserting the missing session file is you do not need to restart the database server. Warning these two option should only be performed by Rational Support. Modifications to the files in your DOORS database could result is data corruption and jeapordize your DOORS database. Send the session.ixc file to support for repair From the module directory listed in the error message provide support the file session.ixc Choosing to have support repair the session index file requires you to have all users log out and shut down the DOORS database server until the repaired file is returned and inserted to replace the existing data file for the module. Create a replacement session file From the module directory listed in the error message provide support the file session.ixc Adjacent session files will be required in order to to create the replacement. Your support engineer will identify these files from the session index file. No work can be performed in the effected module until the replacement session file is restored for the effected module. Note: Generally the repair is only required for one user session file. However in circumstances where DOORS reports a missing session file for a module- the event that caused this may have effected session files for other users connected to the module. For this situation you may need to perform a successive repair to the index file.

Cannot open module in exclusive edit - (no such file or directory) I have a module, that I can open normally, but when I try to open it in Exclusive Edit it tells me that "no such file or directory" How do I solve this?

This defect is resolved in IBM Rational DOORS Version 9.4.0.1

IBM Data Server Manager (DSM) showing SQLCODE=-206 "<name> is not valid in the context where it is used." - United States SQLCODE 206 -206 SQL0206 SQL0206N DSM incompatible db2level fixpack fix pack db2iupdt TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Data Server Manager log files are full of SQLCODE=-206 "<name> is not valid in the context where it is used." error SYMPTOM The symptoms can vary depending on each installation. Most common scenario, DSM shows Data Pending status for the monitored database. CAUSE When you apply a new DB2 fixpack, the db2iupdt command is used to update an instance to a higher level within a release. But that command does not necessarily update the database system catalog to support the new fix pack that you have installed. Meaning, just because the db2level shows a higher level, your database can still be using routines from an older DB2 level. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM One way to verify what routine levels your database is using, you can run the following DB2 command on the monitored database: db2 "select versionnumber from sysibm.sysversions order by 1 desc" If the results is showing a lower level than the ones DSM supports, that means your environment is not supported, and you are getting the SQLCODE=-206 error. To verify what are the DB2 levels supported by DSM, please refer to the links below: - System requirements for IBM Data Server Manager, version 1.1.2 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27045176] - System requirements for IBM Data Server Manager, version 2.1 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27048115] RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Run the db2updvnn command according to the db2level of your monitored database: - For DB2 V9.7 run db2updv97 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_9.7.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V10.1 run db2updv10 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V10.5 run db2updv105 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V11.1 run db2updv111 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command

Why does DSM error log have errors for SQLCODE=-206 errors reported for ISAS core warehouse database? DSM error log have errors for SQLCODE=-206 errors reported for ISAS core warehouse database. How do Isolve the problem?

Run the db2updvnn command according to the db2level of your monitored database: - For DB2 V9.7 run db2updv97 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_9.7.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V10.1 run db2updv10 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V10.5 run db2updv105 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V11.1 run db2updv111 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command

IBM PureApplication System Release Note: Some component attributes are not available to configure during pattern deployment - United States v2001rlsnotes RELEASE NOTES ABSTRACT Some component attributes are not available to configure during pattern deployment CONTENT Problem: If your virtual system pattern includes a component (such as an image, software component or script package) that has a data dependency on another component, but does not have any locked attributes, then the attributes for the component with the data dependency are not presented for configuration during pattern deployment. Resolution: To show missing component attributes for configuration, lock any one of the attributes, such as the name attribute. This action causes the other component attributes to be displayed for configuration.

Missing option to fill in attributes when trying to deploy a pattern I tried to deploy a pattern and I have some parameters to modify at deployment time. But I can't see my parts/attributes in the Component Attribute List.

To show missing component attributes for configuration, lock any one of the attributes, such as the name attribute. This action causes the other component attributes to be displayed for configuration.

IBM HTTP Session time-out settings and overwrite precedence rules - United States WebSphere http session management time-out wasrun precedence overwrite TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) It is possible to set the HTTP Session time-out in various places on the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Administrative Console. It is also possible to set HTTP Session time-out for the application packaging process. Since Session time-out can be set in multiple places, it is necessary to understand how the ultimate Session time-out for an application is determined. CAUSE Application needs HTTP session time-out set. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The HTTP Session time-out can be set in the following places: * From the Administrative Console at the server, Enterprise application, and Web application levels * At the time when the application is packaged * In the application code Setting the HTTP Session time-out from the Administrative Console 1. To set the HTTP Session time-out at the server level, navigate to Servers > Application Servers > Your Server > Web Container > Session Management. In the Session time-out section of this window, you can select No time-out or Set time-out by clicking the appropriate radio button. If you choose to set the time-out, type the desired value in minutes in the box. 2. To set the HTTP Session time-out at the Enterprise Application level, navigate to Applications > Enterprise Applications > Your Application > Session Management. Check Override in the Override Session Management section, then select to set the time-out and the time-out value. This sets the application session to overwrite those values set at the parent, which in this case is the Server level. 3. To set the HTTP Session time-out at the Web Application level, navigate to Applications > Enterprise Applications > Your Application > Web Module > Your Web App.war > Session Management. Check Override in the Override Session Management section, then select to set the time-out and the time-out value. This sets the Application Session to overwrite those values set at the parent levels, which in this case is the Server or Enterprise Application level. After modifying these settings, save the master configuration. Setting HTTP Session time-out when application is packaged The application developer can also select to set the HTTP Session time-out parameter when the application is packaged. This value is stored in the web.xml file for the Web application. This setting overrides any session time-outs defined from the Administrative Console. Alter this setting by repackaging the application with a new value, or by modifying the web.xml file. The entry in the web.xml will be as follows:          <session-config> *          <session-timeout>60</session-timeout> * *       </session-config> Where the "session-timeout" is an integer value for the desired session time-out in minutes. Setting HTTP Session time-out from the application code Finally, the HTTP Session time-out can be set in the application code. The programmer can invoke the setMaxInactiveInterval() method on HttpSession object to set the time-out value as desired. This setting overrides any time-out defined in the application package or made from the Administrative Console. HTTP Session time-out Override Precedence Summary The list below shows the precedence from which the final HTTP Session time-out is derived. 1. Server Level [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21163875&amp;aid=1] Lowest level 2. Enterprise Application [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21163875&amp;aid=1] Overrides the Server Level if Override is selected 3.

IBM "An invalid XML character" error is thrown when handling data originating from a WebSphere Adapter - United States Unicode invalid character 0x0 xml serialize serialization XSLT XLS error TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) WeBSphere Adapter is unable to process data from a source containing unicode data due to a serialization error in the broker indicating that "An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the element content". SYMPTOM When processing data using a broker that originates from a WebSphere JCA Adapter, you encounter an exception of the following form: Source = java.lang.RuntimeException caught trying to serialize BO BusinessObject: F4211BeginDoc@382a382a (F4211FSBeginDoc=F4211FSBeginDoc@67e667e6) probeid = 214 Stack Dump = java.lang.RuntimeException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the element content: This error occurs while you are performing data transformations within your broker, either for an XSLT or to enable monitoring or tracing of the data stream, and results in a flow failure. CAUSE The problem occurs when the source data contains unicode data which is not allowed in XML. In the above example, this is the unicode character 0x0, but there are a number of other unicode characters that can cause the same result. The problem does not occur in the WebSphere Adapter itself because the WebSphere Adapters are entirely capable of handling full unicode data. Rather, the problem happens in some brokers which fail to properly serialize the incoming data into a valid XML object. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The only complete solution at this time is to not process unicode characters that are not valid in XML. This can be done by not importing data fields that might contain such characters or by purging such characters from the incoming data source. It is not sufficient to do filtering in the BO maps since the broker can still run into problems prior to this Java™ mapping. If handling of fields containing these unicode characters is essential to your use case, it will be necessary to open a PMR with your broker's support team (rather than the WebSphere Adapter team) to determine if there are any alternatives available.

SYMPTOM When running the command cqreg add_dbset, this error occurs: "Default DB path is not set" "Default version is 7.0.0" /opt/rational/clearquest/CQDB_rgys/cqdb_registry/7.0.0 does not exist. Use cqreg initialize first. CAUSE Normally, at the end of a ClearQuest installation on UNIX® based platforms, the cqreg initialize command runs automatically. The command creates the registry structure for database sets. During the installation, the command did not run successfully. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM Verify that the CQDB_rgys directory exists, as defined in the installation options. The following is the default registry location: /opt/rational/clearquest/CQDB_rgys/cqdb_registry/ If not present, then the cqreg initialize command was not successful. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Run cqreg initialize. The add_dbset command will run successfully afterwards. However, should the same error persist, make sure the command is run as the root user. Also make sure that the CQ_DATABASES environment variable is set to the desired registry path. If it is not, set the variable accordingly, then run the previously mentioned commands again.

IBM PureData Systems for Analytics - nzsql error, Records trailing spring space set to 512 is too small - United States netezza PDA TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What does the message "ERROR: Records trailing spring space set to 512 is too small..." mean? ANSWER The following error may appear in the pg.log file: ERROR: Records trailing spring space set to 512 is too small : Bump it up using the environment variable NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE This error can occur when a query includes multiple aggregates against varchar or nvarchar columns. As the query is being processed the system allocates memory for each row of the result set. This includes each of the GROUP BY columns and each of the aggregates. For queries doing aggregates on variable length columns, the total length of the record will vary during the process. For example, if the current min value is "Boston" and the new min value is "Albuquerque" space for the new min value needs to increase. The NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE is an extra pseudo-column that is tacked onto each row. It does not contain any data. It is a filler that starts out at NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE and then dynamically shrinks and expands as needed to keep each of the aggregate rows at a fixed length. There is a single springfield in each grouping record that has to shrink and grow to offset the combined changes in width of the running values for all min/max aggregates. To avoid this error message, increase the value for this parameter as follows: 1. nzstop 2. export NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE=1024 3. nzstart You can confirm that the environment variable took effect by running the command "nzsystem showregistry". The output should contain the following: "system.maxSpringFieldSize = 1024". Unfortunately, the setting for NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE will revert to its default value the next time the database is stopped and started without the NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE environment variable being set. To ensure that the setting persists after every database restart, do the following: 1. Add the following line to the /nz/data/config/system.cfg file. (Create the file if it does not exist.) system.maxSpringFieldSize = 1024 2. nzstop 3. nzstart If 1024 does not work, try higher values. Setting the limit may take a little trial and error. Increasing this value should not have a noticeable impact on other system performance. Note: "By default 512 bytes is allocated to each row taking part in aggregations. By increasing this value by 512 we allocate over 30MB more memory for every 1 000 000 rows participating in aggregations. This is for one query, there might be other queries in the system which do aggregations as well. The more memory that is allocated for NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE (for each row) the less memory left for other processes. Having said this, it is not uncommon to see NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE set to 8192 without consequence but care must be taken and one must still be aware of how increasing NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE will impact resources, thus increase it wisely. " HISTORICAL NUMBER NZ755310

What does the message "ERROR: Records trailing spring space set to 512 is too small..." mean? What does the message "ERROR: Records trailing spring space set to 512 is too small..." mean?

This error can occur when a query includes multiple aggregates against varchar or nvarchar columns. As the query is being processed the system allocates memory for each row of the result set. This includes each of the GROUP BY columns and each of the aggregates. For queries doing aggregates on variable length columns, the total length of the record will vary during the process.

The data provider might use the incorrect time zone because BST can represent more than one time zone, for example, British Summer Time and Bangladesh Standard Time. When the data provider sends the commands to the HMC to collect the CPU data, the start and stop times of the commands might not be correct and might not receive any data. Also, data might be collected, but for the wrong time frame. 6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0002 --------------------------------- Feature: 208626 Abstract: LPAR Memory Attributes Additional information: The following new attributes are added in the Server LPARs attribute group: Current_Memory - The current amount of memory, in megabytes, configured for the LPAR. Warehouse name: CM0 Running_Memory - The amount of memory, in megabytes, varied on-line by the LPAR.

When the data provider sends the commands to the HMC to collect the CPU data, the start and stop times of the commands might not be correct and might not receive any data. It is also possible that data will be collected, but for the wrong time frame. APAR: IV50135 Abstract: NO DATA IN MEMORY AND PAGING SPACE VIEW Additional information: The System workspace might not display any data in the Memory and Paging Space views. This can happen when the HMC commands: --- monhmc -r swap -n 0 monhmc -r mem -n 0 --- return data in M bytes instead of k bytes: --- Swap: 1992M total, 0M used, 1992M free, 2853M cached Mem: 24336M total, 4534M used, 19801M free, 480M buffers --- APAR: IV50686 Abstract: NO CPU DATA IN NON-ENGLISH LOCALE Additional information: When the agent runs in a non-English locale, attributes "CPU Units Used" and "CPU Used Pct" might display as "Not Collected" due to a Java problem. The kph_data_provider_0.log will have a message similar to this: --- WARNING: ManagementConsoleInventoryItemBuilder$BasicDataCommand. processResult: An error occurred while parsing the N2 date field "Fri Sep 27 11:35:31 JST 2013". Continuing. --- 2.2 Defects --------------- Defect: 207939 Abstract: Java CPCI - deadlock due to bad lock usage in some versions of Java runtime Additional information: Classloading and resource loading might get locks in the wrong order, due to Java APAR IZ96933, causing the data provider to stop collecting data. This fix prevents the problem no matter what version of Java is running. Defect: 208541 Abstract: Add log messages to show data sent to kphagent Additional information: At log level of FINEST, show the contents of the rows of data sent from the data provider to the kphagent process. 3.0 Architecture and prerequisites ====================== This fix is supported on all operating systems listed in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: HMC Base Agent User's Guide, version 6.2.2.3.

Use the following steps to install this fix. 5.1 Before installing the fix ------------------------------ - The prerequisites listed under section 3.1 entitled 'Prerequisites for this fix' must be installed before this fix can be installed. - For the purpose of this README, the symbol <CANDLEHOME> is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default value for CANDLEHOME is '/opt/IBM/ITM' on UNIX systems and 'C:\IBM\ITM' on Windows systems. Before installing this fix on UNIX systems, set the environment variable CANDLEHOME to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. For example: > CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM > export CANDLEHOME - Because there is no uninstall utility for this fix, make sure to perform a backup of your environment before installing this fix. 5.2 Local agent update -------------------------- 1. Transfer the appropriate archive file (6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004.tar or .zip) to a temporary directory on the system that contains the agent code to be updated. For the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully qualified path to this directory. Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter. 2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms. 3. Use the "itmpatch" command to install the fix for the operating system for that agent. For more information on the "itmpatch" command, see section 6.2. On UNIX systems, if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004, the install command is: > itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP>/6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004/kph_aix526_tema_if0004.tar 5.3 Remote agent update ---------------------------- 1. Transfer the appropriate archive file (6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004.tar or .zip) to a temporary directory on the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server system. For the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully qualified path to this directory. Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter. 2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms. 3. To add the agent fix bundles into the remote deploy depot, use the "tacmd addBundles" command found in $CANDLEHOME/bin on UNIX systems or in %CANDLE_HOME%\bin on Windows systems. For more information on the "tacmd addBundles" command, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide. On UNIX systems, if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004: > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>/6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004 On Windows systems, if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>\6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004: > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>\6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004 where: -n indicates that prerequisite bundles are not automatically added. The -n parameter must be used because the fix directory does not contain any prerequisites that the fix might require. Please see Section 3.1 for the prerequisites for this fix. -i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be added to the depot. 4. To log in to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server, and deploy the fix to the appropriate nodes where the agent is running, use the following "tacmd" commands. For more information on the "tacmd login" and "tacmd updateAgent" commands, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide. On UNIX systems: > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server> -u <itmuser> -p <password> > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the "tacmd updateAgent" command. > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t ph -n <Managed system name> -v 062203004 On Windows systems: > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server> -u <itmuser> -p <password> > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the "tacmd updateAgent" command. > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd updateAgent -t PH -n <Managed system name> -v 062203004 Note: - The component (-t) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is specified as two characters (PH), not three characters (KPH). - The node (-n) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is the managed system name of the operating system (OS) agent to be updated. The target node for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is always an OS agent. 5.4 Agent support update ------------------------------ This fix 6.2.2.2-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004 includes changes to the agent support files which need to be installed. Use the following steps to update the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop. 1. Transfer the appropriate archive file (6.2.2.2-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004.tar or .zip) to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Servers, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktops. 2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms. 3. Expand the archive file (kph_tems_teps_tepd_if0004.tar or .zip) that contains the updates for Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory structure that includes a subdirectory called CD-ROM, with the necessary updates. 4. Use the Application Support Installer(ASI) GUI or the silent installation method to install the application support files. Note: For IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.3 or above, one of the following additional steps must be performed. 1. Acquire a platform-specific pre-packaged JRE version of the Application Support Installer (ASI). See IBM Tivoli Monitoring Application Support Installer, 6.2-tiv-itm_asi-if0003 at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034924 [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034924] for download and installation instructions. -- OR -- 2. Specify the '-j javahome' parameter with the path to a Java(r) 1.5 or java 1.6 installation when running the itmasi.sh or itmasi.bat script described below. GUI installation option ------------------------ The GUI can be started by using one of the following commands from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is located. On UNIX systems: > ./itmasi.sh [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>] On Windows systems: > itmasi [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>] When prompted by the Application Support Installer for the installable media directory, select the CD-ROM directory, not the component directory. The installer can install updates for multiple components at the same time. Silent installation option -------------------------- To use the silent installation option, use one of the following commands from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is located. Note: Using the silent installation option for Linux and zLinux operating systems requires the following files contained in interim fix 6.2-TIV-ITM_ASI-IF0001: - Linux: setupLinux.bin - zLinux: setupLinux390.bin Follow the installation instructions contained in the "6.2-TIV-ITM_ASI-IF0001.README". On UNIX systems: > ./itmasi.sh -h <CANDLEHOME>[-silent] [-r <response file>] [-j <JAVAHOME>] On Windows systems: > itmasi -h <CANDLEHOME> [-silent] [-r <response file>] [-j <JAVAHOME>] where: -h <CANDLEHOME> - Required. The path to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. -r <response file> - Optional. Customized response file name. The default response file "response.txt" in the CD-ROM directory can be copied and modified for your environment. Do not update "response.txt". -j <JAVAHOME> - Optional. The fully-qualified path to the "bin" directory where Java(R) is installed. The location of Java on your system might vary. 5. The next panel presented by the Application Support Installer asks for the selection of which Tivoli Monitoring components you want to add application support to. For this fix, check or clear the check boxes as follows: checked - Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) checked - Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS) checked - Tivoli Enterprise Desktop Client (TEPD) Continue through the remaining GUI panels selecting the HMC Base 06.22.03.04 support to complete the installation. 6. If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser was running when the update was installed, it must be restarted. 6.0 Additional installation information ======================== For additional troubleshooting installation information, see the itmpatch.log in the patchlogs directory in <CANDLEHOME>. 6.1 Installation instructions for agent baroc file ----------------------------------------------------- This fix 6.2.2.2-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004 includes changes to the agent baroc files that must be installed. Refer to IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide under "Installing monitoring agent baroc files on the event server" in "Installing the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Event Synchronization" section for more information. 6.2 Additional information on using "itmpatch" command -------------------------------------------------------------- The "itmpatch" command has the following syntax: Usage: itmpatch -h <installation home> [OPTIONS] itmpatch -h <installation home> -t { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> } itmpatch -h <installation home> -i { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> } where: -h Specifies the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory -i Specifies the path to the directory or patch file to be installed -t Generates a report of the actions to be taken by the patch For example, on UNIX systems: - To preview the fix installation, use the "-t" option: > <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -t <TEMP> - To install the fix, use the "-i" option: > <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP> where: <CANDLEHOME> is the fully qualified IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. On Windows systems, this path must include the drive letter. <TEMP> represents the fully qualified directory specification where the fix is located. On Windows systems, this must include the drive letter. 6.3 Verifying the update ---------------------------- 1. To verify the agent was updated correctly, use the "tacmd" command to view the agent's current version after the agent is restarted. You are required to log in to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server prior to viewing the agent version. For example: On UNIX systems, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory, the default location is '/opt/IBM/ITM'. > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server> -u <itmuser> -p <password> > $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems -t PH On Windows systems, where %CANDLE_HOME% is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory, the default location is 'C:\IBM\ITM'. > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server> -u <itmuser> -p <password> > %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems -t PH Note: The component (-t) for the "tacmd listSystems" command is specified as two characters (PH), not three characters (KPH). When the agent update is successful, the agent version is: 06.22.03.04. 2. To verify the agent support files were updated correctly, use the "kincinfo" command on Windows systems or the "cinfo" command on Linux or UNIX systems. The sample output below shows the versions of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop systems after this fix has been successfully applied. Note: The displayed date of the build might not be accurate. This is a known problem.

IBM Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in Diffie-Hellman ciphers affects IBM Image Construction and CompositionTool. (CVE-2015-4000) - United States SECURITY BULLETIN SUMMARY The Logjam Attack on TLS connections using the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol affects IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool. VULNERABILITY DETAILS CVEID: CVE-2015-4000 [http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-4000] DESCRIPTION: The TLS protocol could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly convey a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite choice. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to 512-bit export-grade cipher. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to recover the session key as well as modify the contents of the traffic. This vulnerability is commonly referred to as "Logjam". CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/103294 [https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/103294] for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N) AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.2.1.3 IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.1.0 IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.2.0 REMEDIATION/FIXES The solution is to apply the following IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool version fixes.

IBM Identify the application that has a WMQ queue opened - United States Identify application program connected queue TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Your WebSphere MQ queue manager will not stop if there are applications that still have a queue opened. Your goal is to allow a graceful stop of the queue manager, also called controlled (or quiesced) shutdown. For example, the following runmqsc command for the queue Q1 shows that there is an application currently that has opened a queue, but it does not provide application name, or process id number (PID). The value for OPPROCS indicates 1 application has opened the queue for output (for doing a PUT). display qstatus(Q1) 1 : display qstatus(Q1) AMQ8450: Display queue status details. QUEUE(Q1) TYPE(QUEUE) CURDEPTH(0) IPPROCS(0) LGETDATE( ) LGETTIME( ) LPUTDATE( ) LPUTTIME( ) MEDIALOG( ) MONQ(OFF) MSGAGE( ) OPPROCS(1) QTIME( , ) UNCOM(NO) You want to determine the name of the application that currently has a queue open, RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Use the runmqsc display connection command to find the process id (PID) and application name. Using the above example of the queue Q1, this is the complete command to invoke under runmqsc: display conn(*) where(objname eq Q1) all Example output: AMQ8276: Display Connection details. CONN(ACBDC64820001B01) EXTCONN(414D5143514D5F414E47454C494C4C4F) TYPE(CONN) PID(7364)TID(1) APPLTAG(WebSphere MQ\bin\amqsput.exe)APPLTYPE(USER) ASTATE(NONE) CHANNEL( ) CONNAME( ) CONNOPTS(MQCNO_SHARED_BINDING) USERID(x) UOWLOG( ) UOWSTDA( ) UOWSTTI( ) UOWLOGDA( ) UOWLOGTI( ) URTYPE(QMGR) EXTURID(XA_FORMATID[00000000] XA_GTRID[] XA_BQUAL[]) QMURID(0.0) UOWSTATE(NONE) The following fields are of interest: PID(7364) => Process id APPLTAG(WebSphere MQ\bin\amqsput.exe) => name of the application USERID(x) => Userid that has invoked the application For UNIX users: One of the main purposes for the above technique is to eventually kill the process that is connected to the queue manager. a) One option is to use the STOP CONN command under runmqsc. Using the above example, the corresponding command would be: STOP CONN(ACBDC64820001B01) b) The following SupportPac can be used to identify the applications and kill them if desired: MS6B: WebSphere MQ Connection Management Utility [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg24017810] This SupportPac is Category 4 (which means that the IBM MQ Support team does not support it) PRODUCT ALIAS/SYNONYM WMQ MQ

Does ITCAM for MQ monitoring agent (kmq) use SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE causing Unknown Object Name [2085] event? Using the ITCAM MQ Monitoring agent, we have a situation that generates alerts when a 2085 event (object unknown) occurs. We have recently seen alerts for the queue SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE We found following technote: Unknown Object Name [2085], SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21681687 This technote does not mention Tivoli monitoring product, and only mentions monitoring products such as Nastel and InfraRed360.

IBM System Requirements for WebSphere MQ V8.0 - United States PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION ABSTRACT This document contains system requirements for WebSphere MQ V8.0 and a note about IBM WebSphere MQ Advanced entitlement. CONTENT IBM has provided customers with a Software Product Compatibility Reports (SPCR) tool where you can locate and find complete lists of supported operating systems, system requirements, prerequisites, and optional supported software for WebSphere MQ 8.0. RHEL Compatible OS. Defect support is available for Linux environments that are fully compatible - both source and binary - with Red Hat Enterprise Linux V6. Unless stated otherwise, WebSphere MQ has not been specifically tested in such compatible environments. WebSphere MQ Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the linux environment itself. If issues arise that are related to the compatible linux environment, the user may need to contact the linux environment vendor for support, or the issue may need to be recreated inside an environment tested by IBM in order to receive WebSphere MQ support. Virtualization. Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere MQ. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements WebSphere MQ has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments. WebSphere MQ support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment itself. Please also refer to: WebSphere MQ's support position on Virtualization, low-level hardware, file systems on networks and high availability.

IBM How to include Rational Rhapsody external source files into configuration MakeFile - United States external; AddToMakefile; build; make; File element; MakeFile; external object; external objects; make file TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION How can you configure the default setting of IBM Rational Rhapsody Developer Edition for C++ (RiC++) in order to include external source files into MakeFile? CAUSE In some cases, you want to import legacy source files into Rhapsody models as external elements. For those externally imported elements (classes and files), Rhapsody doesn't generate code, hence you can preserve legacy code as part of your existing model. However, by default, Rhapsody excludes those external elements from the build even though you turn CG::File::AddToMakefile [File::AddToMakefile] property on. ANSWER For general information regarding code generation for external elements, see "Code generation for external elements [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rhaphlp/v8/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.rhp.uml.diagrams.doc%2Ftopics%2Frhp_r_dm_cd_genrtion_extnl_elmts.html]" topic in Rhapsody Info Center. This technote will provide 3 solutions to allow the inclusion of external elements into the build. Solution 1 - Use Component File element * * * Add source file to the build * Solution 2 - Use File/Class element * * * * * Note: * * * * * Add a Class/File element to map the external source code into the model. Set property CG::Class::UseAsExternal as "checked" for the added element. Set property CG::File::AddToMakefile [File::AddToMakefile] as "checked". Set the path to the external file in property CG::Class:FileName to make Rhapsody aware the location of the external source code. The path info would be used in MakeFile generated by Rhapsody. Note: Both absolute and relative path are supported. Right click the model element, from context menu, click Add New > SourceArtifact. Note: In order to include this external model element into MakeFile, SourceArtifact is required for the external model element. To enable the display of SourceArtifact, make sure Top Menu > View > Browser Display Options > Show Source Artifacts is checked. Make sure the type of added SourceArtifact is set either "Logical" or "Implementation" (DO NOT choose "Specification"). Rename SourceArtifact with the name of the external source code (e.g. rename the element to "hoo", if the external file name is "hoo.cpp"). Click [Elements] tab of the SourceArtifact to make sure the model element is correctly mapped in SourceArtifact. In case of Class, the mapping will be done automatically. For File, manually add its parent element to [Elements] tab as below: [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21621937&amp;aid=1] IMPORTANT: You might occasionally find the behavior of File is not consistent with Class. This is because File element is designed to be used as external element only, and not supposed to be built from Rhapsody. You are encouraged to use external Class element in RiC++ model to avoid any confusion you might experience. Generate MakeFile to make sure the external source file (e.g. hoo.obj) file is being added in the build. Solution 3 - Use Additional Sources setting * * * [Additional Sources] * * [Settings] * * Note: * RELATED INFORMATION #Code generation for external elements [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rhaphlp/v8/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.rhp.uml.diagrams.doc%2Ftopics%2Frhp_r_dm_cd_genrtion_extnl_elmts.html] Add source file to the biuld [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rhaphlp/v8/topic/com.ibm.rhp.uml.diagrams.doc/topics/rhp_t_dm_adding_source_files_build.html?resultof=%22%61%64%64%22%20%22%73%6f%75%72%63%65%22%20%22%73%6f%75%72%63%22%20%22%66%69%6c%65%22%20%22%62%75%69%6c%64%22%20]

About implementation and specification in a File entry of type Logical under Component I use Rhapsody for C++ and want to add a .c/.h file combo. I know I can easily do this by adding 2 File entries under the Component level: one being Implementation type and the other Specification. Then add the appropriate code in the respective Text Elements. Alternatively I can do the equivalent by having a single File entry of type Logical that will generate 2 files (and change the CG:ImplementationExternsion property changed to .c). However when the type is set to Logical, I don't know where to place the code for the Implementation and the code for the Specification so that they end up each in the right file. Right now, whatever I put in the Text Element ends up in both files. Does anyone know how I can indicate Rhapsody that "this code is the implementation (.c)" and "this code is the specification (.h)"? --- Rhapsody 8.0.5 for C++ on Windows

In some cases, you want to import legacy source files into Rhapsody models as external elements. For those externally imported elements (classes and files), Rhapsody doesn't generate code, hence you can preserve legacy code as part of your existing model. However, by default, Rhapsody excludes those external elements from the build even though you turn CG::File::AddToMakefile [File::AddToMakefile] property on.

IBM Can't disable DASH TimeSet and dataRefresh in Events configuration - United States DASHL2; timeSet; dataRefresh; Events; WIdgets.; Pages TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Any Widget added to a Page after the initial "Save" or "Save and Exit" will not retain the Events settings when trying to disable the TimeSet and dataRefresh Events in the Edit -> Events pull down configuration window. SYMPTOM TimeSet and dataRefresh Events can't be disabled after any "Save" for previous added Widgets on a Page. CAUSE This has been identified as a product defect under APAR IV83442 ENVIRONMENT Any DASH version, this was a problem since DASH 3.1.0 DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM Create a Page in DASH, add Widgets then save and exit. Access the Page again, edit the page to add another Widget, Edit the Events in the new Widget then unselect the TimeSet and dataRefresh options. Save the changes. Edit the new Page: [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21984540&amp;aid=1] Unselect the TimeSet and dataRefresh options. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21984540&amp;aid=2] After a "save" or "save and exit" you will see that they are enabled again. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21984540&amp;aid=3] RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Currently, the only workaround is to Place and configure the Events for all widgets wanted on the page before doing first "Save" or "Save and Exit". All widgets will retain values for subscribed events such as 'dataRefresh' and 'timeSet' To use 'dataRefresh' and 'timeSet' properties of subscribed events for any widgets which are added after first "Save" or "Save and Exit", DASH support will need to be contacted. Note: This issue is with the widgets which are placed on the page after first "Save" or "Save & Exit"

Why the tick boxes in 'Subscibed Events' table remain ticked after saving the page When editing a widget and try to unsubscribe the event subscription for 'dataRefresh' events, the checkbox/tick for "dataRferesh" is still selected, even after saving the page.

This has been identified as a product defect under APAR IV83442

IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0 Fix Pack 2 - United States DOWNLOADABLE FILES ABSTRACT This Fix Pack will upgrade your SPSS Statistics 24.0 installation to SPSS Statistics 24.0 FP2 (24.0.0.2) DOWNLOAD DESCRIPTION This Fix Pack provides important product corrections for SPSS Statistics 24.0. Issues Corrected and Release Note(s): Fix List [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27049686] NOTE: The 24.0.0.2 Fix Pack contains all Interim Fixes made available for 24.0.0.0, as well as other corrected issues, and can be installed over any of the earlier Interim Fixes with no conflict. PREREQUISITES This Fix Pack is language independent but can only be installed over existing client and server installations of IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0.0.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Windows 1. Log in as a local administrator. 2. Download the Fix Pack to a temporary location on your hard drive. 3. Ensure that no versions of Statistics are running. 4. Run the Statistics 24.0.0.2 Fix Pack executable. Note: you must use "Run as Administrator" by first right-clicking on the executable. 5. Statistics 24.0.0.2 is ready to run. Use the Help -> About menu to verify that 24.0.0.2 is now the installed version. Guidelines for unattended/pushed installations for Windows-based clients: NOTE: This Fix Pack may require the machine to be rebooted to complete the installation. Please be aware that "pushing" the installation in unattended, silent mode may therefore force an unexpected machine reboot on a user, and schedule such installations accordingly. The SPSS Statistics 24.0.0.2 for Windows Fix Pack obeys the same rules documented in the Site and Network License Administrator's Guides regarding "Extracting the Contents of a Downloaded Installer file" and "Pushing an Installation to Windows Computers". In this case: 1. Download the appropriate installer file to a temporary location on your hard drive. 2. Open a command window as the local Administrator account and change directory to the temporary download location. 3. Extract the "SPSSStatistics24.0.0.2Patch.msi" and locale-specific .mst file into a specified location from the downloaded FixPack installer file, "24.0-IM-S24STATC-<OS>-FP002.exe",using the documented "/b" switch: 24.0-IM-S24STATC-<OS>-FP002.exe /b"c:\Stats24002FixPack" (where <OS> is your operating system) 4. You can then copy the two extracted files to a network share for easier distribution. 5. Install the patch: msiexec /i "c:\Stats24002FixPack\SPSS_Statistics_24002_<OS>_Patch.msi" /qn /L*V "%temp%\SPSSStatistics24002PatchLog.txt" PYTHON_EXISTS="1" TRANSFORMS="c:\Stats24002FixPack\1033.mst" (where <OS> is the same operating system specification as in step 3) Installation Mac 1. Download and save the Statistics 24.0.0.2 Fix Pack to your local hard drive. 2. Ensure that no versions of Statistics are running. 3. Execute the Statistics 24.0.0.2 Fix Pack installer from the downloaded .dmg file. 4. Statistics 24.0.0.2 is ready to run. Use the About Statistics 24 menu to verify that 24.0.0.2 is the installed version. IBM SPSS Statistics 24 release is supported on Apple Macintosh OS X 10.10.x (Yosemite) through macOS 10.12.x (Sierra) Guidelines for unattended/pushed installations for Macintosh-based clients: IBM SPSS Statistics 24 FixPack 2 for Mac OS X has a silent (push) installer. To install this FixPack on Mac systems, do the following: 1. Open the 24.0-IM-S24STATC-Mac-Silent-FP002.dmg disk image and copy the two files to your desktop (or any writable location). 2. Open a Terminal window and change directories to the location of the patch installer and installer.properties file. 3. Edit the installer.properties file to suit your needs. The USER_INSTALL_DIR parameter must be defined. For example, if the current SPSS Statistics 24 install is in the default /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/24, USER_INSTALL_DIR would be: USER_INSTALL_DIR=/Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/24 4. Uncomment and modify other parameters as needed. 5. To execute the installer, use the following command: ./SPSS_Statistics_Installer_Silent.bin -f installer.properties Installation Linux 1. Download the Fix Pack to a temporary location on your hard drive. 2. Ensure that no versions of Statistics are running. 3. Open a terminal window and execute the 24.0-IM-S24STATC-Linux8664-FP002.bin executable file as the ‘root’ user. 4. Statistics 24.0.0.2 is ready to run. Use the Help -> About menu to verify that 24.0.0.2 is the installed version. Guidelines for unattended/pushed installations for Linux-based clients: The SPSS Statistics 24.0.0.2 for Linux Fix Pack obeys the same rules documented in the Site and Network License Administrator's Guides regarding "Running a Silent Installation on Mac and Linux Computers". Note: Please contact IBM SPSS Technical Support to obtain the appropriate installer.properties file for the Linux platform. SPSS Statistics Server - 24.0 FP2 Installation Instructions Installation Windows 1. Log in as a local administrator. 2. Download the Fix Pack contents to a temporary location. 3. Ensure that the same version of Statistics Server is not running, as multiple versions can be installed on the server. 4. Run the Statistics Server 24.0.02 Fix Pack executable. Note: you must use "Run as Administrator" by first right-clicking on the executable. 5. SPSS Statistics Server 24.0.0.2 is ready to run. Check the service name or add/remove programs, or launch statisticsb and run the SHOW VERSION command to verify 24.0.0.2 as the installed version. Installation UNIX/Linux Note: On UNIX and Linux, the Statistics Server upgrade is now a true incremental upgrade and not a complete, fresh installation. Installing the Fix Pack for the appropriate platform should be similar to the instructions for installing your server given in the SPSS Statistics Server Installation Instructions. It is suggested to copy off the spssdxcfg.ini prior to the installation on the UNIX / Linux server as the installation may remove the R section in spssdxcfg.ini and may require manual updating after FP2 installation 1. Download the Fix Pack to a directory on the server machine. 2. Shut down Statistics Server prior to applying the Fix Pack. 3. You need to ensure the ownership and permissions for the /bin, /lib and /common subdirectories of the Statistics installation directory. For example, if you installed as root, to change the ownership and permissions, go to Statistics installation directory and run the following commands at the UNIX prompt: chown -R root:root bin lib commonchmod -R 777 bin lib common 4. When running SPSS Statistics Server with internal authentication, a regular user can be the owner of these directories. Refer to the SPSS Statistics Server Administrator’s Guide for more information. 5. The Fix Pack can be installed silently using the installer.properties file that comes with the 24.0 release (on the DVD): ./<installer_name> -f installer.properties where <installer_name> is the installer .bin file that you ftp'ed to the server. 6. You can also execute the installer directly to launch a graphical version of the installer. (Note: You will need an X Window System to do so): ./<installer_name> Note for graphical installer: You should change the default installer directory for the patch in the Install Wizard to point it to the directory on the server where Statistics Server 24.0 is installed. 7. Start the Statistics Server after the Fix Pack installation is complete. 8. Run ./statisticsb and enter SHOW VERSION.

IBM Using -Xgc:preferredHeapBase with -Xcompressedrefs - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION "Why does the JVM report a native out-of-memory (NOOM) when using compressed references? I am using a 64bit JVM and I clearly have plenty of memory left. How can I resolve this problem?" CAUSE *In this note, please refer to Java Versioning: Java Version.Release.ServiceRelease.FixPack ex: Java 7.1.4.6 is the same as Java 7.1 SR4 FP6 is the same as Java 7 R1 SR4 FP6. The IBM JVM will automatically use compressed references [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/javasdk/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.java.doc.diagnostics.60/diag/understanding/mm_compressed_references.html]when using a maximum heap size less than 25GB. This automated behavior was introduced in Java 6.1.5.0 and Java 7.0.4.0*. Compressed references (CR) decreases the size of Java objects making better use of available memory space. This better use of space results in improved JVM performance. *(Java 7.0.1.1 and later uses compressed references by default on z/OS) See Introducing WebSphere Compressed Reference Technology [ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/webserver/appserv/was/WAS_V7_64-bit_performance.pdf] for detailed information on how Compressed References work. "When using compressed references, the size of the field used in the Java object for the Class Pointer and the Monitor/Lock is 32 bits instead of the 64bits that would be available in non-compressed mode. Because we are using 32 bits to store the location of these, and they are located in native (non-Java heap) memory, they must be allocated in the first 4GB of the address space - the maximum range we can address with the 32 bits." ~IBM Java Development Team If the Java heap itself is small (-Xmx), the JVM may allocate it in the lower 4GB of address space along with the Class Pointers and Monitors/Locks. If these Class Pointers, Monitors/Locks and Java heap (if included) cannot fit in the lower 4GB, a native out of memory (NOOM) [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-nativememory-linux/] will be thrown. ANSWER Why Use Compressed References? Below the 4GB mark, the JVM does not have to perform any compression/decompression of the address pointer at runtime. Therefore, the best performance will be attained if the Class Pointers, Monitors/Locks and Java heap can all be contained comfortably within the lowest 4GB of the address space. Determining Address Location of Java Heap Memory To verify if the Java heap has memory regions below the 4GB mark, check the "Object Memory" section in the javacore: Convert the "start" address from the hex value to a GB value [http://ss64.com/convert.html]. In the example below, 0x000000000F010000=0.23GB which is below the the 4GB (0x0000000100000000) mark. * [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21660890&amp;aid=1] Setting the Preferred Heap Base with -Xgc:preferredHeapBase Starting with Java 6.1.6.0 and Java 7.0.5.0, and later, the JVM will determine if the Java heap will fit comfortably in the lower 4GB. If it is too large, the JVM will automatically allocate the Java heap above the 4GB mark (APAR IV37797 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV37797]). NOTE: In IBM System z platforms (i.e. z/OS and z/Linux), automatic shift of the heap above the 4GB address space does NOT occur because on these platforms, there is an additional performance penalty associated with higher shift values. To resolve Native OOM issues due to a shortage of heap memory in the lower region on z platforms, use -Xnocompressedrefs (see below). See related: IBM Knowledge Center - JVMJ9GC089W [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_7.0.0/com.ibm.java.messages/diag/appendixes/messages/j9gc/message_jvmj9gc089.html] However, in earlier Java 6.1 and Java 7.0 versions (earlier than Java 6.1.6.0 and Java 7.0.5.0), if the Java heap can not fit in the lower 4GB, a NOOM will occur. To avoid this problem, the generic JVM argument [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21417365] -Xgc:preferredHeapBase=<address> [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/javasdk/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.java.doc.diagnostics.60/diag/understanding/mm_compressed_references.html] can be used to ensure the Java heap is allocated above the 4GB address space. This will leave more room for the Class Pointer and Monitor/Lock memory. * * * * * * * This will locate the Java heap starting at the 4GB mark thus leaving the lower 4GB for the other processes. Increase Maximum Heap Size to Force Heap Allocation Above the 4GB mark Another way to ensure that the heap is allocated above the 4GB mark (Java 6.1.6.0 and Java 7.0.5.0 and later) is to set a maximum heap size equal to or greater than 4GB. For example -Xmx4G will ensure that the heap will have to be allocated above the 4GB mark. This will not work in earlier versions of the JVM since these earlier versions allowed the heap to straddle the 4GB mark, placing part of the memory above and some below (fixed as part of APAR IV37797) . Further Investigation If after setting -Xgc:preferredHeapBase=<address> or -Xmx4G a NOOM is still encountered (Java 6.1.6.0 and Java 7.0.5.0 and later), then further investigation is required at the application level. Look to decrease the size and usage of the applications Class Pointers and Monitors/Locks. Additionally, there are some WebSphere Application Server troubleshooting methods that may help reduce the native memory footprint. See: IBM Troubleshooting native memory issues [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21373312]. Reserving Low-Memory Space with -Xmcrs If there is still free memory in the system when a Native OutOfMemory (NOOM) occurs, then the problem may be a shortage of memory in the low-memory region (under 4GB). Even if the Java heap is located above this boundary, other data associated with Java objects can be located in the low-memory region. The OS memory allocator will deal out low-memory freely, thus memory resources in the lower boundary may run out. Later when the JVM tries to allocate memory for an artifact which is required to be allocated in low-memory (because the JVM has only reserved a 32bit pointer for it) it fails and throws an OutOfMemoryError. Starting in Java 6.0.16.3, Java 6.1.8.3, Java 7.0.8.10, Java 7.1.2.10, there is a parameter -Xmcrs [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_6.0.0/com.ibm.java.doc.diagnostics.60/diag/appendixes/cmdline/xmcrs.html] which allows the JVM to increase the amount of low memory it reserves on startup. With this setting, as long as the low-memory usage by the JVM does not exceed the -Xmcrs value, NOOM in the lower boundary will be avoided. To set this parameter, first decide what a reasonable value for your lower memory requirements may be. Reasonable value is unique to each environment so there is not a general recommendation. * -Xmcrs<reasonable_value_for_lower_memory> * * NATIVEMEMINFO subcomponent dump routine * * * * * * * * * [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21660890&amp;aid=2] * Disabling Compressed References with -Xnocompressedrefs As a last resort, if the native memory still can not be contained under the 4GB mark, you can set -Xnocompressedrefs [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/javasdk/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.java.doc.diagnostics.60/diag/appendixes/cmdline/Xnocompressedrefs.html] as a generic JVM argument. [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21417365] Using -Xnocompressedrefs will remove the use of compressed references and therefore remove the lower 4GB memory restriction on the Class Pointers and Monitors/Locks. This will however, result in a significant increase in Java heap memory requirements. It is not uncommon for 70% more heap space to be required. Due to the increased memory requirements it is strongly advised that the Java heap size is adjusted to a larger value and garbage collection is monitored and retuned as required. Additionally, some benchmarks show a 10-20% relative throughput decrease when disabling compressed references: "Analysis shows that a 64-bit application without CR yields only 80-85% of 32-bit throughput but with CR yields 90-95%. Depending on application requirements, CR can improve performance up to 20% over standard 64-bit." See:ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/webserver/appserv/was/WAS_V7_64-bit_performance.pdf [ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/webserver/appserv/was/WAS_V7_64-bit_performance.pdf]. Before using -Xnocompressedrefs as a solution, first rule out the possibility of a native memory leak. Since using -Xnocompressedrefs will allow the the native memory to grow unbounded, a leak in native memory will lead to process size growth eventually leading to a process that needs to be paged out. The paging will incur performance overhead which will eventually lead to an unstable environment. Therefore careful consideration must be used when selecting -Xnocompressedrefs as a solution. Memory Map Considerations The below figure is a generalization of how the JVM handles addresses in each section of the memory map based on heap size and compressed references (CR). Please note that at each stage beyond having all of the Java memory contained below the 4GB mark, there will be performance consequences: [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21660890&amp;aid=3] No Compressed References Overhead using -Xnocompressedrefs or -Xmx > 25GB -increased memory footprint -fewer/larger objects stored on heap leads to more frequent GC -lower cache and translation look aside buffer (TLB) utilization [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21660890&amp;aid=4] Compressed References Overhead maximum heap address used by the Java JVM process is below 4GB none maximum heap address used by the Java JVM process is above 4GB but below 32GB compression/decompression of address pointers Getting Assistance From IBM Support If further assistance will be required from IBM WebSphere Support, please set the following -Xdump [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/javasdk/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.java.doc.diagnostics.60/diag/tools/dumpagents_syntax.html] parameters in the generic JVM arguments [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21417365]: * * * Then restart the JVM and recreate the problem. Once the NOOM is encountered, process the resulting system core with jextract [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21577379].

IBM Configuring defaultRowPrefetch for an Oracle JDBC driver - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) The setting defaultRowPrefetch is used to help increase the performance of queries to Oracle databases and we sometimes find customers who want to enable this feature for Oracle database connections to increase the prefetched rows. Oracle JDBC drivers have a feature built in as an extension that allows you to set the number of rows that are prefetched while the full result set is being formulated. This is to reduce the number of trips back and forth to the database. SYMPTOM If defaultRowPrefetch is set as a custom property on the datasource, this will not work as the defaultRowPrefetch is not a datasource property but a property on the connection itself . CAUSE defaultRowPrefetch is a property of the connection and not of the datasource ENVIRONMENT WebSphere Application Server using an Oracle JDBC driver DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM Customer sets this property and does not see it work. This may result in longer times to getting the full result set and more round trips to the database. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The Oracle defaultRowPrefetch can be set in an attempt to speed up queries to a database that return multiple rows. But, it cannot be set as a custom property in a datasource. Please see below: The way to set this connection property is as follows:. You cannot set defaultRowPrefetch as a JVM property. It would have to be named oracle.jdbc.defaultRowPrefetch for that to work. You can only use this property by loading it into a Properties object in the code and then calling getConnection with the Properties object.

[link below] RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Additional comments associated with APAR IZ81446 release notes: "a new property is added to increase the file size limit: * Add the property to $NCHOME/impact/etc/<SERVERNAME>_server.props file where size limit can be 8192, 16384, 32768, etc.. " The property would have to be added to all ImpactServers in the Cluster and would require a restart to enable - ensuring that the ImpactServer started as Primary had the correct, uncorrupted .type file to be replicated across the Cluster. Also ensure that there are no trailing white-space characters on the property as these invalidate properties in lower versions of Impact. The APAR is not an issue in Impact 6 and 7, but one would still have to include this property with an appropriate value to handle a large character length for the USERPARAMETERS parameter. The character length includes the whole USERPARAMETERS property name as well as the definition. For example one would add the property: * to the files: * * * where one wished to allow the replication of a DataType between two ImpactServers called NCI1 and NCI2 in a Cluster where the USERPARMETERS property line were 20,000 characters long.

IBM Data Server Manager (DSM) showing SQLCODE=-206 "<name> is not valid in the context where it is used." - United States SQLCODE 206 -206 SQL0206 SQL0206N DSM incompatible db2level fixpack fix pack db2iupdt TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Data Server Manager log files are full of SQLCODE=-206 "<name> is not valid in the context where it is used." error SYMPTOM The symptoms can vary depending on each installation. Most common scenario, DSM shows Data Pending status for the monitored database. CAUSE When you apply a new DB2 fixpack, the db2iupdt command is used to update an instance to a higher level within a release. But that command does not necessarily update the database system catalog to support the new fix pack that you have installed. Meaning, just because the db2level shows a higher level, your database can still be using routines from an older DB2 level. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM One way to verify what routine levels your database is using, you can run the following DB2 command on the monitored database: db2 "select versionnumber from sysibm.sysversions order by 1 desc" If the results is showing a lower level than the ones DSM supports, that means your environment is not supported, and you are getting the SQLCODE=-206 error. To verify what are the DB2 levels supported by DSM, please refer to the links below: - System requirements for IBM Data Server Manager, version 1.1.2 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27045176] - System requirements for IBM Data Server Manager, version 2.1 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27048115] RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Run the db2updvnn command according to the db2level of your monitored database: - For DB2 V9.7 run db2updv97 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_9.7.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V10.1 run db2updv10 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V10.5 run db2updv105 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command - For DB2 V11.1 run db2updv111 [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0054449.html] command

IBM Syndicating to VP with exclusive realms does not work. - United States syndication; realm; vp; admin user; getPortalAdministrator TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM Syndication from base Portal to Virtual Portal with different realms does not work:- 1) Create 2 different realms with different base entries and map one realm ( with base entry e.g DC=org1,DC=test) to base Portal. 2) Create a Virtual portal and map it to another realm ( with base entry e.g DC=org2,DC=test). 3) Attempt to carry out syndication from Base Portal to Virtual Portal. 4) The syndication fails with below exception: [datetime] 0000007f PackageGenera I createIceProjectItemRemoves():: p_items length = 0 [datetime] 0000008b ResponseBL I Performing response for sender: 1abc2a07-e70a-4804-8e09-b7b897eef534 [datetime] 000000a1 SubscriberTas E Unexpected exception thrown while updating subscription: [IceId: <1abc2a07-e70a-4804-8e09-b7b897eef534> Current State: <ICE-INITIAL>], exception: com.presence.connect.wmmcomms.exception.MemberNotFoundException: Message: com.ibm.portal.WpsException: EJPSG0002E: Requested Member does not exist.uid=wpsadmin,cn=users,DC=XYZ,DC=TEST, Cause: com.ibm.wps.um.exceptions.impl.MemberNotFoundExceptionImpl: com.ibm.portal.WpsException: EJPSG0002E: Requested Member does not exist.uid=wpsadmin,cn=users,DC=XYZ,DC=TEST com.presence.connect.wmmcomms.exception.MemberNotFoundException: Message: com.ibm.portal.WpsException: EJPSG0002E: Requested Member does not exist.uid=wpsadmin,cn=users,DC=XYZ,DC=TEST, Cause: com.ibm.wps.um.exceptions.impl.MemberNotFoundExceptionImpl: com.ibm.portal.WpsException: EJPSG0002E: Requested Member does not exist.uid=wpsadmin,cn=users,DC=XYZ,DC=TEST [...] at com.presence.connect.wmmcomms.UserManagementServiceImpl.getPortalAdministrator(UserManagementServiceImpl.java:1678) [...] CAUSE The Admin user exists on Base Portal but not the Realm which is configured to Virtual Portal. The Administrator User who is listed as the Domain Admin retrieved with: com.presence.connect.wmmcomms.UserManagementServiceImpl.getPortalAdministrator() does not have access to the Virtual Portal. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The Admin user has to be made visible on both base and virtual Portals if you wish to syndicate between the two. When syndicating to Virtual Portals, the Administrator User who is listed as the Domain Admin retrieved with: com.presence.connect.wmmcomms.UserManagementServiceImpl.getPortalAdministrator() should have access to the Virtual Portal. RELATED INFORMATION Realm Support [http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/xpDocViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM%20WebSphere%20Portal%208%20Product%20Documentation&documentId=3B264D090122D90D85257B26000692C6&action=openDocument&rev=true&mode=original&content=pdcontent]

Cannot create syndication pair between Virtual Portals with a different user repository than Base Portal Steps: I have two different user repositories one to manage my base portal and Virtual Portals. (p.e: For Base Portal I use ITDS, and for VPs I use AD) with differents admin users each. Then I created two VPs using the AD repository, and my VPs admin user on the credential vault. Tried to create a syndication relationship , that is failing with the error: "Could not communicate with the target URL. Please check that the Syndicator URL details are entered correctly, and that the credential slot user exists on the target server."

The Admin user has to be made visible on both base and virtual Portals if you wish to syndicate between the two. When syndicating to Virtual Portals, the Administrator User who is listed as the Domain Admin retrieved with: com.presence.connect.wmmcomms.UserManagementServiceImpl.getPortalAdministrator() should have access to the Virtual Portal.

IBM IAM9: Message Broker – WebSphere Decision Service Node - United States iam9; JRules; Decision Management; Rule Engine; ILog DOWNLOADABLE FILES ABSTRACT This SupportPac provides a node to execute the J2SE rule execution server (RES) of WebSphere Operational Decision Management inside the WebSphere Message Broker JVM. DOWNLOAD DESCRIPTION This SupportPac provides a WebSphere Decision Service Node in WebSphere Message Broker to run a J2SE runtime business rules engine that can process rules based on the business content from messages within message broker flows. The runtime rules engine can come from the WebSphere Operational Decision Management (WODM). The node receives a input message, extracts the rule set parameter and then runs the rule engine. The result is sent to the output terminal and can be used for complex routing and decision making. The SupportPac makes existing custom integrations between WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere Operational Decision Management simpler to implement. The SupportPac is delivered as a User Defined Node added to the Message Broker Toolkit palette. • WebSphere Message Broker v7, v8, v9 with IAM9 node v1 SupportPac with ODM v7, v7.5 and v8. • WebSphere Message Broker v7, v8, v9 with IAM9 node v2 SupportPac with ODM V8.0.1 and 8.5. Possible Uses Decision Service node can be used for: • Complex flow decisions by rule. • Content based routing by rule. New in this Release • Provide a node implementation for all ODM releases currently available. • Change the user interface and input to look similar to the decision service node of IBM Integration Bus (formerly known as WebSphere Message Broker) v9. • Enable Decision Warehouse. • Provide Local Environment Structure to set rule set path and rule set parameters.

Business Rules with Message Broker I want to know if there is a way to use a business rule approach with Message Broker. Because I want to take advantage about benefits for using it, like if they(rules) are not embedded in code, they can be reused and shared, even though application is retired. I have heard about some rules engine like Drools. Is it possible to do this merge with Message Broker or this has its own rules engine? Where can I go to search for information about this?

This SupportPac provides a node to execute the J2SE rule execution server (RES) of WebSphere Operational Decision Management inside the WebSphere Message Broker JVM.
