APAR IY69466
- Abstract:
- wloadiso command from an AIX(R) endpoint
- Error Description:
- When running the wloadiso command from an AIX endpoint to
send data for an isolated scan, data (contained in the INV_ISO.DAT file)
cannot be sent to the database because the mc_get_data on the endpoint

- Error Description:
- The bios.ini file filled when running the command mrmbios
-d bios -a is ignored during the hardware scan by the mrmbios tool.
The only way to force mrmbios to read the information from the bios.ini file is to use the command mrmbios -d bios.ini as a script
to run inside the profile, after the scan.
APAR IY70284
- Abstract:
- CD-ROM and FLOPPY devices not inserted into the database
- Error Description:
- When performing a hardware scan on Windows machines, CD-ROM and FLOPPY devices
are not inserted into the Inventory database due to a duplicate value of the HDISK_ID information. To align the inventory database entries with the
new identifier number, you should distribute a hardware inventory scan with
the replace option only when your target is a Windows machine without a floppy drive.
APAR IY70308
- Abstract:
- Obtaining unique serial number for HP-UX servers
- Error Description:
- The machine identification number is retrieved using the uname interface
instead of using the new confstr(3C) or getconf(1)interfaces when available

- Abstract:
- dist_timeout value set by the winvmgr command
is ignored

because this is the default deadline period.
APAR IY70846
- 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.
APAR IY70912
- Abstract:
- Incorrect user name returned by Inventory when WMI is used

- Abstract:
- Processor speed of Pentium(R) III
- Error Description:
- Inventory reports as CurrentClockSpeed the value computed
by the legacy algorithm when SMBIOS is not available and WMI is available,
instead of reporting the value provided by WMI.
APAR IY71001
- Abstract:
- Wrong processor speed
- Error Description:
- Inventory uses the legacy code for retrieving all the CPU information,
if the WMI attribute ProcessorID is empty. It should use the legacy code only
for the information which is not provided by WMI.
APAR IY71015
- Abstract:
- Inventory is issuing a wrong commit
- Error Description:

- After creating the tmersrvd account on an HP-UX Collector
following the requirement specified in the Framework defect 136410, the Collector
is unable to handle any more data from downstream Collectors or Endpoints
due to a permission issue.
APAR IY70039
- Abstract:
- wcollect -n parameter implementation for gateway collector
- Error Description:
- Cannot configure the INPUT_QUEUE_THRESHOLD parameter for
the WAN entry point collector, but only for a data handler object. In a scenario

- To complete APAR IY68587
- Error Description:
- The fix provided with APAR IY68587 does not work if the environment
variable LCF_CACHEDIR is not set.
The following APARs and internal defects for Activity Planner were fixed:
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:
- Install Fix Pack 3 for APM component (4.2.1-APM-FP03) on all interconnected Tivoli regions.
- 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.
