This section contains problems and corrections for the following manuals of the IBM(R) Tivoli(R) Configuration Manager, Version 4.2.1 library:
The following information changes apply to the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: User's Guide for Software Distribution.
In Chapter 15 "Troubleshooting", in the section "Base Configuration Information on the Endpoint", add to Table 17 "Directory assignments in swdis.ini file" the key: "resinit_reboot_forced" and its description: Identifies the resinit behavior on the endpoint, in case a reboot is needed. If you change the default value resinit_reboot_forced=n and set it to y, you specify a hard reboot of the machine."
In Chapter 6 "Embedding Native Objects into a Software Package", in the section "Using Dialogs to Embed or Edit an HP-UX Package", replace the bullet number four with the following text: "In the HP-UX Source Depot path text box, type the absolute path of the HP-UX package. In the HP-UX Source Depot File Name specify the file name of the HP-UX software depot, if the images to be installed are stored in a single file."
In chapter 9 "Preparing a Software Package for Distribution", in the section "Change Management Operations", subsection "Overwriting Default Variables" the second paragraph has to be replaced with the following text: "When you subsequently remove a software package, you can define or override only those variables that were not resolved when the package was installed or those variables that are left unresolved for future remove operations, even though they were resolved during the package installation. If these variables are not overwritten after the package installation, they maintain the values used during the installation".
Changes are required to pre-existing scripts that format or scrape the SoftwarePackage log files to extract or summarize failure information for the execution of programs within packages. You must modify the existing the log scraper or log file formatter scripts to search and sort on error message : DISSE0197E for failed execute program actions, instead of former message : DISSE0442I.
No changes are required for the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: Reference Manual for Software Distribution.
The following information changes apply to the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: User's Guide for Deployment Services.
In Chapter 4 "Troubleshooting", in the section "Activity Planner Core Trace", add the following information: "The APM_RPC_MAX_THREADS environment variable has been added to the APM_core process. This variable sets the maximum number of concurrent remote procedure call threads handled by the dispatcher. The default value is 250."
The following information changes apply to IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: User's Guide for Inventory.
The "temporary tables" feature does not apply on Sybase and Informix, because these 2 RDBMS vendor do not clean up the contents of a temporary table after the commit; only after releasing the session to the database. So, you will see some messages like:
Sybase Server Error: Msgno 3621 Level 10 State 0 Command has been aborted due to "unique constraint violation" errors caused by attempts to insertrows already present in the database.
This error can cause a decrease in performance.
