Installing a huge software package using the undoable option, and turning off the endpoint during the file transfer interrupting the distribution, when the endpoint is turned on again, the distribution restarts, but completes in error.

APAR IY74585

Abstract:
EXECUTE_USER_PROGRAM using SUCCESS_REBOOT_NOW_REEXECUTE does not work correctly when using commit with user reboot
Error Description:
If you run wcommtsp -c y against a software package containing a script ending with a return code equal to success_reboot_now_reexecute, after the user reboot, the commit action starts and the script runs and exits with a success_reboot_now_reexecute code.

success
Manually reboot the endpoint. After the reboot, resinit processes the package p1, that needs another reboot, but before this reboot occurs, the package p2 is processed. Instead, the machine should reboot before processing the package p2.
Additional Info:
To change the default resinit behavior, add the new key resinit_one_reboot in the swdis.ini file on the target. If you change the default value resinit_one_reboot=y and set it to resinit_one_reboot=n in the swdis.ini file on the endpoint, resinit processes the packages one by one, and if a package requires a reboot, the endpoint is rebooted immediately.

Distributing inventory scan to Windows CE device causes IBM agent to crash
Error Description:

  1. On the source host, in a temporary directory such as C:\temp, copy the ceagent.arm.CAB and Tivoli_PocketPC_ARM_Agent_Patch.v4.2.3.FP01.spd files from the directory PocketPC.
  2. Edit the package Tivoli_PocketPC_ARM_Agent_Patch.v4.2.3.FP01.spd by setting the value of the agent_name_dir, location, and name variables. The agent_name_dir is the Agent path on the device, while the location and name are used to set the path of the ceagent.arm.CAB file on the source host, such as C:\temp\agent.
  3. Import the package.
  4. On the Tivoli Web Gateway, stop the Device Manager Server
  5. Update the Device Manager database.
    Note:
    All pending operations should be completed and connections to the database closed while you are performing the following steps:
    1. Invoke a DB2CMD shell on the database server.
    2. Change directories to the Device Manager server install directory: dms_home/bin /data.
    3. Connect to the Device Manager database. (For example: db2 connect to dms user dmsadmin using password).
    4. Invoke the patch script. For example: db2 -tvf IY75778_db2.sql
  6. On the Tivoli Web Gateway, start the Device Manager Server
  7. Distribute the package to the device. The package installs the files on a permanent path of the device.
    Note:
    During the Agent installation, you receive a message on the device asking if you want to install the IBM agent again. Click OK to confirm the installation.
