Abstract:
Inventory scan takes the lcf.id value
Error Description:
Even if the GUID exists on the endpoint machine and the wadminep ep_name view_GUID returns the correct value, the Inventory scan takes the lcf.id value. This is because an old libguid module is not replaced by the migration to Inventory 4.2.1. If replacing the module with one from an Inventory 4.2.1 environment, the GUID is taken by the scan as the computer_sys_id. The problem occurs on Windows and UNIX endpoints with Inventory 4.2.1 and on UNIX endpoints with Inventory 4.2.1 and Fix Pack 1.

To address a problem with the user resource, the V_PLAN_STATUS view in the APM schema has been modified by adding the TGT_RESOURCE_TYPE field.

To fix the problem, update the V_PLAN_STATUS view by running the script plans_database_schema_update_view.sql, where database represents the supported vendor database. After the installation of the Fix Pack 3 for APM component (4.2.1-APM-FP03), this script is located in the $BINDIR/TME/APM/SCRIPTS directory.

Note:
Running this script is not required if you have already installed IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager version 4.2.1 Fix Pack 2.

For interconnected Tivoli regions, before performing any Activity Planner operation, all Tivoli regions (TMRs) must be at the same level as Fix Pack 3. Ensure this by performing the following tasks:

  1. Install Fix Pack 3 for APM component (4.2.1-APM-FP03) on all interconnected Tivoli regions.
  2. Update the V_PLAN_STATUS view by running the script plans_database_schema_update_view.sql on all interconnected Tivoli regions.

The following section describes each APAR in detail.

APAR IY68138

Abstract:
Changes not set if altering distribution deadline in APM activity from relative to default

APAR IY69394

Abstract:
Incomplete description of Preview button in AP Editor
Error Description:
The documentation of the Activity Planner does not describe how the Preview button works, to view a list of the targets.

APAR IY70587

Abstract:
Different behavior when working with conditioned activities
Error Description:
If some targets have the software already installed, they get a status of SUCCESS so the next activity in the plan starts. If all the targets have the software installed, all the targets get a status of FAILED and the next activity is CANCELED_BY_CONDITION.

APAR IY71064

Abstract:
Restart of plan previously cancelled does not work
Error Description:
The restart of the plan does not work if an intermediate activity has been completed in successful state, because the status "Success" is not considered as a restartable status.

APAR IY71340

Abstract:
START_NOT_BEFORE option incorrectly resolved in a specific timeframe
Error Description:
The Activity Planner GUI on the endpoint does not correctly resolve the start_not_before option if the plan is submitted between 12 and 1 p.m.

APAR IY71696

Abstract:
Resuming the second activity of a plan submitted in status "Paused", it goes in CancelByCondition status
Error Description:
Create a plan with the following two activities: the first activity is to load a software package block, while the second is an installation from Depot conditioned by the first activity by Successful Depot. Submit the plan as "Paused" and resume the second activity: it immediately goes in CancelByCondition status.

APAR IY71810

Abstract:
APM missing exception when the admin user is not configured

If a plan has targets listed in a file (.txt), Activity Planner is unable to read the file when the swd_admin is not properly configured and no exception is reported in the Activity Planner traces at submission time.

APAR IY71812

Abstract:
Filtering Activity Planner monitor option not working
Error Description:
The filtering option does not work properly and does not show the requested results.

APAR IY71963

Abstract:
Activity Planner monitor causes database crash on Sybase
Error Description:
If the Activity Planner GUI has Automatic Update Refresh, the Sybase transaction log file gets filled up after a few hours. This problem is caused by the RDBMS management of the queries done by the Activity Planner monitor.

APAR IY72167

Abstract:
If the APM Executer stops working, a fatal error is dumped in the traces
Error Description:
The Activity Planner Executer stops working and shows a fatal error in the Activity Planner Handler trace, while there is still a lot of workload to handle.
