APAR IY72944
- Abstract:
- Isolated scanning of an endpoint in differential mode does not work

been no changes in the system.
APAR IY73560
- Abstract:
- Failure generating nativ_id
- Error Description:
- The process of generating nativ_id for installed software
using rpm pkginfo is not working, if two different rpm packages
having the same name are installed on a Linux workstation.
APAR IY73562
- Abstract:
- Failure during hardware scan printer section
- Error Description:

The correct directory name
should be the InventoryConfig profile name:
%LCFROOT%/inv/ISOLATED/inv_profile_name
The problem does not occur on UNIX(R) endpoints. On Windows endpoints, this problem occurs only if the %LCFROOT%/inv/ISOLATED/inv_profile_name directory
already exists.

server, and are never removed.
APAR IY73565
- Abstract:
- winstsp and wdinstsp operations at the same time
cause NetWare abend
- Error Description:
- Configuration Manager on NetWare can manage only one process at a time.
If a process is loaded while another one is running, the server abends. For
example, issuing a disconnected installation while a connected installation

an undoable installation and a commit
- Error Description:
- Install a software package in undoable mode:

retrieved without creating the default endpointname_distributionID_timestamp sub-directory under the specified destination directory on the source
host.
APAR IY74578
- Abstract:
- Undoable installation not complete if endpoint is turned off during
the distribution
- Error Description:
- 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. The endpoint
reboots but does not rerun the script.
APAR IY74764
- Abstract:
- Problem sending multiple software packages using commit in a user reboot

and p2, using the following options:
-ty -cy
Where the user_program
during_commit the first time exits with:
success_reboot_now_reexecute
and the second time exits with:
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.
APAR IY74805

- 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.
- 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.
- Import the package.
- On the Tivoli Web Gateway, stop the Device Manager Server
- 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:
- Invoke a DB2CMD shell on the database server.
- Change directories to the Device Manager server install directory: dms_home/bin /data.
- Connect to the Device Manager database. (For example: db2 connect to
dms user dmsadmin using password).
- Invoke the patch script. For example: db2 -tvf IY75778_db2.sql
- On the Tivoli Web Gateway, start the Device Manager Server
- 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.
