2.0 PROBLEMS FIXED
-------------------
The following APARS are addressed in this fix pack:

APAR IY64313

   Symptoms:

   In the Situation Editor, changes on the Distribution tab are not saved
   when one or more Managed Systems or Managed System List entries are moved
   from the Assigned list to the Available lists and one or more entries are
   moved from the Available lists to the Assigned list in a single editing
   session.

   Additional Information:

   The problem does not occur if you close the editor after making changes to
   the Assigned list and reopen the editor to make changes to the Available
   list.


APAR IY64467

   Symptoms:

   If you enter an incorrect user ID, click "OK," and then type over the
   incorrect user ID and click "OK," you receive the "unable to process logon
   request" message.

APAR IY64504

   Symptoms:

   During or after you use the Link Wizard to define a number of links, "Out
   of Memory" error messages are displayed in the console log, and the IBM
   Tivoli Management Portal for Distributed Systems eventually stops.

   Additional Information:

   The number of links that can be defined is hard to predict.  The Task
   Manager displays increasing memory usage for the Java(TM) process running
   the IBM Tivoli Management Portal for Distributed Systems.

APAR IY64644

   Symptoms:

   When you scroll down in the data snapshot view in the properties filter
   window and then click the filter table scroll bar, the data snapshot
   scrolls all the way to the top of the data snapshot view pane.

APAR IY65771

   Symptoms:

   If Java(TM) 1.3.1_12, 13 or 14 or Java 1.4.2_06, 07 are used, you receive a
   message in the browser client that this version of Java is not supported.

   Additional Information:

   Support for these specific versions of Java has been added to the IBM
   Tivoli Management Portal for Distributed Systems.


APAR IY66052

   Symptoms:


   Historical queries return no data because of a duplicate column name
   conflict.

   Additional Information:

   This APAR requires the fix for IBM Tivoli Management Interface - Agent
   Framework (CMI) APAR IY65774 available in fix pack 3.5.0-TIV-CMI-FP0001.
   The only product affected at this time is Unix System Services.


APAR IY66554

   Symptoms:

   During an attempt by the IBM Tivoli Management Portal Server(R) to connect
   to the hub IBM Tivoli Management Server, (either at IBM Tivoli Management
   Portal Server startup or after a loss of connection to the hub), the IBM
   Tivoli Management Portal Server stops during startup.

   Additional Information:

   This problem only occurs in environments where DB2plex is installed
   but incorrectly configured.

APAR IY66618

   Symptoms:

   Queries return data from systems not specified in the query.

   Additional Information:

   This problem only occurs in Sysplex environments.

APAR IY66967

   Symptoms:

   Using the Remove Managed System function in the IBM Tivoli Management
   Portal for Distributed Systems to remove managed systems that are
   connected to an OS/390(R) IBM Tivoli Management Server does not work.

APAR IY67159

   Symptoms:

   If you use the Properties window to assign a query to one or more views
   within a workspace and then use the Query Editor to change the
   symbols referenced by the query, those symbol changes are not
   reflected in the Link Wizard Expression panel when a link is defined to
   target the affected workspace.

APAR IY67246

   Symptoms:

   After you run migrate-import, some nodes in the Navigator views either say
   "<Unnamed>" or have a string beginning with "OBJ" for their display names.

   Additional Information:

   The fix for this APAR does not retroactively correct the names of any
   previously migrated nodes. It only prevents the problem from happening in the
   future.

APAR IY67876

   Symptoms:

   A hexadecimal value in the filters table does not correctly filter the
   data for unsigned integers.  Also, the data in the tables are not
   displayed in a hexadecimal value - they are converted to decimal values.

APAR IY68787

   Symptoms:

   When you enter a value for a cell displayed in hh:mm:ss.ttt format on a
   Situation, Filter, or Threshold settings page, values like 01:02:03.004
   are incorrectly redisplayed when another predicate cell is clicked.


3.0 APPLYING THE FIX PACK
----------------------------
Use the following steps to apply this fix pack.

NOTE: Back up the %CANDLE_HOME% directory and all of its subdirectories
      before you install this fix pack.

1.  Copy the self extracting executable file (CJWS6009.exe) to a temporary
    location on your local file system.

2.  Stop the IBM Tivoli Management Portal Server and all IBM Tivoli
    Management Portal Server clients on the target machine.

3.  Before you unzip the fix pack, open a command prompt, go to the
    %CANDLE_HOME%\cnps directory and run the following command.

    attrib -r kfw*.*

    This removes the read-only attributes for the KFW*.* files in the
    cnps directory.

   NOTE: If you do not run this command, you cannot unzip the fix pack file.

4.  Double-click the CJWS6009.exe file.

5.  Click "OK" on the window that explains the need to remove read-only
    attributes as described in Step 2 of this procedure

6.  Click "Unzip" to extract the files into the %CANDLE_HOME% directory.

7.  If you are running a version of Java other than 1.3.1_04, update the
    following file for the IBM Tivoli Management Portal for Distributed
    Systems browser client.

    Edit the %CANDLE_HOME%\CNB\detectplugin.html file and change the
    following JavaScript(TM) variable to reflect the default Sun Java version
    to use.

      var JavaVersion    = "1.3.1_04";

    Change the above value to 1.4.2_xx or "*";

    xx= the Sun Java maintenance being used.

    "*" = any Java version that falls into the list below.
          Use the asterisk if you have multiple versions of
          Java deployed in your environment.

    The following Sun Java versions are supported in IBM Tivoli Management
    Portal for Distributed Systems v195:

    1.3.1_04 - 1.3.1_14
    1.4.2
    1.4.2_01 - 1.4.2_07

    IBM Java is not supported.

8.  Restart the IBM Tivoli Management Portal Server and any IBM Tivoli
    Management Portal for Distributed Systems clients on the target machine.

9.  Log onto the IBM Tivoli Management Portal for Distributed Systems using
    the desktop or browser client.


4.0 ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION NOTES
-----------------------------------

To view long-term history data stored by the Warehouse Proxy Agent using
the IBM Tivoli Management Portal for Distributed Systems, you must set up
a Candle Data Warehouse ODBC source on the machine running the IBM Tivoli
Management Portal Server.  If the Warehouse Proxy Agent is on the same
machine as the IBM Tivoli Management Portal Server, the IBM Tivoli
Management Portal Server shares the ODBC source created for the Warehouse
Proxy Agent.

However, if the Warehouse Proxy Agent is installed on a different machine
from the IBM Tivoli Management Portal Server, you must configure an ODBC
source on the machine with the IBM Tivoli Management Portal Server.  The
ODBC source configuration should match the ODBC configuration used on the
machine hosting the Warehouse Proxy Agent.

To configure the ODBC source manually, click "Control Panel" ->
"Administrative Tools" -> "Data Sources (ODBC)."

NOTE: This is different from short-term history. You can view short-term
history data without configuring the Warehouse Proxy Agent ODBC source.
