This section describes some limitations that affect DBCS environments found
during the usage of the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version 4.2 GA version,
that were not reported in the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: Release Notes.
- Defect 39743: Help missing for Software Distribution
Pre-Ex-Co Requisite. In Change Manager GUI, the Help button for Software Distribution
Pre-requisite, Ex-requisite and Co-requisite dialog does not work in non-English
environment. See also Defect 47658 in this same section.
- Defect 47615: On Red Hat Linux 7.3 in a Japanese
environment, all Japanese fonts are garbled on the Software Package Editor
GUI.
Workaround: Set LANG=C and start the Software Package Editor. All
text strings are displayed in English. However, with LANG=C, the Japanese
input method on the Software Package Editor GUI is disabled, and Japanese
directory and file names are garbled.
- Defect 47616: Software package block file import
fails when the 0x5C is included in the input file path. Import of software
package block fails if the input file path contains 0x5C DBCS characters,
and if the path is specified by browsing and selecting from the GUI file browser.
Workaround: Type the input file path in the Input File Path text box manually,
without using the file browser.
- Defect 47655: On a Red Hat Linux Enterprise 2.1
Tivoli management region server, the Japanese input method used to enter Japanese
characters into several Tivoli Java-based GUIs, is not invoked when Shift
+ space bar is pressed. This problem occurs on the following GUIs: Activity
Plan Editor, Activity Plan Monitor, Change Manager GUI, and Software Package
Editor on managed nodes.
Workaround: The input method is correctly invoked
if you add the XMODIFIERS environment variable to the Java GUI start script.
Add the following two lines to the appropriate start script:
XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
export XMODIFIERS
The following is a list of start scripts for each
Java GUI:
- Activity Plan Editor: /opt/Tivoli/bin/linux-ix86/TME/APM/EDGUI/apmedit.sh
- Activity Plan Monitor: /opt/Tivoli/bin/linux-ix86/TME/APM/MONGUI/apmmon.sh
- Change Manager: /opt/Tivoli/bin/linux-ix86/TME/CCM/GUI/ccmgui.sh
- Software Package Editor: /opt/Tivoli/bin/linux-ix86/speditor/classes/sped_mn.sh
- Defect 47656: In the pie chart view of the Activity
Plan Monitor GUI, the chart displays some garbled text. It also displays incorrect
chart data. These cases usually occur after the pie chart has been moved (2-dimensional
to 3-dimensional and vice versa) using the mouse.
- Defect 47658: Any new strings added to GUIs after
the GA, included in fix packs, are not translated until the next release of
the product. This includes any changes or additions to online help. Therefore,
in non-English environments, new or changed helped is not displayed in Java
GUIs such as Activity Plan Editor, Activity Plan Monitor, Change Manager,
or Software Package Editor GUIs.
- Defect 47862: If you install fix pack 3 using the
ISMP installation program that generates a single activity plan that upgrades
all services and components, it may occur that the first activity related
to the installation of the Activity Planner interim fix is installed successfully,
but the state remains in "St" (Started) rather than "Su" (Successful). The
remaining activities in the plan are not executed because of the incorrect
"St" state of the first activity.
Workaround: To proceed with the remaining
activities in the generated plan, re-submit the entire plan a second time.
- Defect 49709: If a user has a DBCS user name, the
name is garbled in the Resource Group Members dialog.
- Defect 168072: The time stamp and elapsed time fields
are not translated into Japanese when Tivoli Enterprise Console events are
sent after an inventory profile is distributed.
- Defect 168113: The phrase "Inventory Task" is not
translated into Japanese in either the Edit->Create Activity menu in the
APM Editor or the pop-up label for the Inventory Task icon.
- Defect 168114: The following strings are not translated
into Japanese in the APM Editor help:
- Topic
- Activity Plan Editor Dialogs
- Inventory Scan Options
The help contents for Inventory Scan Properties are also not translated
into Japanese.
- Defect 168171: In the Change Configuration Management
GUI help, the Inventory Scan Online help is not translated into Japanese.
- Defect 169797: Distributing a UNIX software scan
profile to an AIX endpoint fails if basic information is selected to scan
and send the results to the database. The MIF parser is not properly handling
a DBCS character.
- Defect 169822: The file name returned by an inventory
scan is garbled when scanning files for basic information in DBCS environments.
- Defect 169823: The inventory custom filter does
not work in DBCS environments when the codeset for the endpoint differs from
the codeset for the Tivoli server (such as a Windows endpoint and a Linux
server).
- Defect 169824: When a DBCS signature is added, the
file that matches the signature is not scanned on Red Hat Linux endpoints.
