3.6-TMF-0046 Verification Summary Report
----------------------------------------
This report summarizes the results of 3.6-TMF-0046 verification.
External ID
3.6-TMF-0046
Internal ID
36TMF046
Fixes contained in patch
------------------------
CMVC defect 44800, 74499
Symptoms: The Tivoli Endpoint Statistics icon in taskbar does not
show any statistics.
CMVC defect IX87028
Symptoms: Not all BARC scripts are able to run on an OS/2 endpoint.
CMVC defect IX87214, 64906
Symptom: Endpoint binaries do not match patched TMR binaries after an
SIS patch install since SIS files are not updated after patches are
applied.
CMVC defect IX87216
Symptoms: Endpoint upgrade is unsuccessful since the TivoliAP.dll was
being copied to an incorrect directory.
CMVC defect 64817
Symptoms: Incorrect Patch ID displayed because the patch process was
incorrectly placing the timestamp before the patch id.
CMVC defect 64751
Symptoms: Netware certification was failing because of memory leaks.
CMVC defect 69722, APAR IY01222
Symptoms: The upgrade of an NT endpoint would fail if the
TivoliAP.dll was in use and was located on a drive different from the
drive where the endpoint was installed. The error message that was
displayed would indicate an error in the renaming of sys.tmp.
APAR IX89436
Symptoms: If an endpoint login process is interrupted, problems can
result while waiting for a gateway response. This can affect
Distributed Monitoring on the endpoint.
Verification Results
--------------------
Defect/APAR Test Status
----------- ---- ------
44800,74499 Installed TMA statistics icon on NT/WIN95 and verified PASS
correct statistics are shown.
IX87028 Ran script on OS/2 endpoint to verify that number of PASS
opened file limit is increased.
IX87214,64906 Installed via SIS and verified that endpoint was at the PASS
correct endpoint level. Also compared to other forms
of endpoint installation (install shield,winstlcf,
upgrade).
IX87216 Ran upgrade on an endpoint with a busy TivoliAP.dll. PASS
64817 Verified that patch information was correct after PASS
installation was done.
64751 Verified the changes checked in were correct. PASS
69722,IY01222 Verified NT upgrade would succeed if TivoliAP.dll was PASS
busy and on a different drive from the endpoint install.
IX89436 Performed multiple interruptions during login process. PASS
No increase in login time was noticed.
Regression Tests
----------------
- Installed via SIS, wpatch, and the Tivoli Desktop. PASS
- Exercised the entire set of orphaned endpoint test scenarios in both PASS
positive (allow logins) and negative (disallow logins) scenarios.
- Ran TMA downcall stress tests. PASS
- Ran TMA upcall stress tests. PASS
- Exercised the entire set of TMA isolation login test scenarios. PASS
- Exercised the entire set of TMA migratory login test scenarios. PASS
- Exercised a subset of the TMA upgrade test scenarios. PASS
- Exercised a subset of the login throttle scenarios. PASS

Special Notes/Comments
----------------------
When checking the file sizes on the x86(NT, win9X, win3X, nw3/5) interps, some
files compared differently between the different types of installations(install
shield, winstlcf, upgrade, SIS). It was later determined by development that
there were not any differences between the code trees for each of the installs.
No problems were noticed during verification of each of these installations.
