In Chapter 1. Editing the Software
Package Definition File, Software Package Name and Version section, add the
following sentence at the end of the first list:
The length of the string
that defines the name and version of a software package can vary depending
on how you distribute the software package:
- If you use Activity Planner, the maximum length of the string is 128 characters.
It includes name, delimiter, version (64 characters), and #region name.
- If you do not use Activity Planner, the maximum length of the string is
230 characters. It includes name, delimiter, and version (64 characters).

In Chapter 3, Using Commands, add
the text below to the following commands:
- waccpst
- wcommtsp
- winstsp
- wspmvdata
- wremovsp
- wundosp
- -X {none|first|middle|last|both}
- Defines a set of software packages for which user login and shutdown
operations can be disabled while the distribution is taking place. If you
define a package as first, this package is the first
in a series for which you can define these options. Define the other packages
in the series as middle and the last package as last. A software package defined as last must exist for each software package defined as first. If the series consists of just one package, define this package as both, which means the software package is both first and
last in the series. The default value is none which
means user login and shutdown operations cannot be disabled.
- -Y max_login_allowed
- Specifies whether users can log on to the workstation while a distribution
is taking place. This setting can be defined only for software packages defined
as first or both. It applies to
software packages defined as first, middle, last, or both. Supported
values are 0 (no login is allowed), -1 (an unlimited number of logins is allowed), and any positive integer.
If a login is performed while the distribution is taking place, the distribution
is paused until the user performs a logoff.
- -W
- Specifies that the user cannot perform a shutdown while a distribution
is taking place. If the user attempts to perform a shutdown and the timeout
is set to a value other than zero using the Timeout key,
a dialog box is displayed on the endpoint listing the allowed operations and
requesting the user to select one. The user can choose between performing
a restart, a logoff, or a logoff and shutdown. The restart and logoff operations
are performed immediately, while the shutdown is performed after the last
distribution has completed. If the user does not respond to the dialog within
the allotted time, the default action is performed. The default action is
logoff and shutdown.
- APAR IY72490:
In Chapter 3 "Using Commands",
section Disconnected Target Commands" modify the usage of the wdlssp command as follows:
wdlssp
wdlssp -B.
and add the following description in the Options section:
- -b
- Creates a backup copy of the catalog to the file you specified. The
information stored in the epsp.cat file is retrieved up to the point where
the corruption occurred. Some data in the new file might be inconsistent if
the command failed to retrieve complete data from the corrupt catalog. You
can then manually replace the catalog with the new file.
The following new information applies to the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: User's Guide for Inventory.
- APAR IY68383

[-t mc_upcall_timeout] and add the following
parameter to the Options section for command wepscan:
- -l
- Does not send the INV_SA.LOG file to the inventory data handler. This
option can be used only in conjunction with the -s option.
