Patch:  4.1.1-TMF-0062

Component: Tivoli Framework 4.1.1

General Description:

    This patch contains the Framework 3.7.1 libraries and can be
    installed on Framework 4.1.1 systems to replace older 3.7.x
    libraries. These libraries provide for backward compatibility with
    applications built on those libraries. This patch supersedes
    4.1-TMF-0006, 4.1-TMF-0057LA, 4.1-TMF-0062LA, 4.1.1-TMF-0004,
    4.1.1-TMF-0012LA, and 4.1.1-TMF-0012. No patches need to be
    installed prior to the installation of this patch.

Problems Fixed:

  New fixes in 4.1.1-TMF-0062:

    APAR IY70824
    Symptoms: On a TMR where there are 40 - 60 open Tivoli Desktops,
    attempts to create a desktop object (such as IWSApplicationServer)
    fail when the managed node desktops are polled using the "broadcast"
    method.

  Fixes from 4.1.1-TMF-0012 / 4.1.1-TMF-0012LA:

    APAR IY55627
    Symptoms: If a dialog performs a callback and the callback is still
    running when the desktop is closed, the method binary in which the
    callback is defined dies with a signal 11. This can affect some
    Remote Control processes.

    APAR IY57355
    Symptoms: The Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) can hang due to a
    "bdt_timed_open failed" error when the connection between the TEC
    gateway and the server is dropped by the firewall.

    APAR IY59523
    Symptoms: If SSL and SPBDT are enabled on AIX 64-bit Multiprocessor
    boxes running AIX, the tec_dispatch process can terminate abnormally
    because it overruns the allocated stack space.

    Additional Information: Patch 4.1.1-TMF-0018 must be installed in
    conjunction with this patch to have the fix for IY59523.

  Fixes from 4.1.1-TMF-0004:

    Internal CMVC defect 166188
    Symptoms: Provide 3.7.1 libraries on systems running the Framework
    4.1.1 release for backward compatibility with applications that use
    those libraries. Note: 3.7.1 libraries are already provided in new
    installations of Framework 4.1.1, but are not provided for upgrade
    installations. (Since future 3.7.1 patches may install newer
    libraries than those contained in this patch, providing 3.7.1
    libraries for upgrades to 4.1.1 might result in older libraries
    overwriting newer libraries.)

Architecture(s):

    Solaris, AIX 4, HPUX 10, Linux

Patches superseded by this patch:

    4.1-TMF-0006
    4.1-TMF-0057LA
    4.1-TMF-0062LA
    4.1.1-TMF-0004
    4.1.1-TMF-0012LA
    4.1.1-TMF-0012

Dependencies:

    TMF_4.1.1

Database Changes and Special Considerations:

    The 3.7.1 libraries in this patch correspond to the version of
    libraries built for 3.7.1-TMF-0154. Thus, if upgrading from a 3.7.1
    system where 3.7.1 patches that supercede 3.7.1-TMF-0154 were
    installed, then this patch should not be installed on 4.1.1.

Files Replaced by this Patch (for all supported values of INTERP):

Applying the Patch:    

    1)  Extract the patch:

        On a Unix system:
        
        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
        of this release note, assume that the symbol $PATCH points to
        this directory.

        # cd $PATCH
        # tar xvf 4.1.1-TMF-0062.tar

        On a Windows NT system:

        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
        of this release note, assume that the symbol %PATCH% points to
        this directory. 

        > %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env
        > X:              
          ^-- 'X' is drive letter where %PATCH% is found
        > cd %PATCH%
        > tar xvf 4.1.1-TMF-0062.tar

        NOTE:  If you are extracting the tar image on a Windows NT
        system, you will find an executable for tar in the TME
        installation on Windows NT under bin/w32-ix86/tools/tar.exe.

    2)  If this patch is to be installed on a release level of 3.6 or
        greater, follow these instructions for using Software
        Installation Service (SIS).  If not, skip to step 3 below.

        NOTE: SIS can install Tivoli products on any hardware
              platform supported by Tivoli, but there are some
              hardware platforms on which SIS cannot be run. Please
              check your SIS User's Manual for the list of platforms
              on which SIS can be run.

            is not already selected, and click the OK Button.
        j)  Now click the Select Machine Button on the Install
            Spreadsheet Dialog.

        m)  Click the Install Button.
        n)  Select the install algorithm you want to use on the
            Installation Algorithm Dialog, and click OK.

        f)  Select the clients to install this patch on. This patch
            needs to be installed on the TME server and on each 
            managed node client.
        g)  Press the "Install" button to install the patch.

Additional Installation Instructions:

    Since this patch replaces the 3.7.x framework libraries with 3.7.1
    framework libraries, then any applications that use these libraries
    should be halted prior to the installation of this patch and then
    restarted so that they have access to these 3.7.1 libraries.

Known Defects:

    None.
