This section contains problems and corrections for the
following manuals of the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version
4.2 library:
The following information changes apply to the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: Reference Manual for Software Distribution.
- APAR IY62154: In Chapter 3. "Using Commands",
in the description of the wspmvdata command, in the Options section,
replace the escription of the spre:src_prescript, spost:src_postscript,
tpre:targ_prescript, tpost:targ_postscript options, with the following
descriptions:
- spre:src_prescript
- Specifies a script to run on the origin system of the data
file, before the data is transmitted. When sending data, the origin
system must be a source host, that is a Tivoli managed node, functioning
as a gateway or a repeater, where Software Distribution is installed,
or an endpoint, when data is sent from one endpoint to one or more
endpoints. When retrieving data, the origin list can include multiple
Tivoli endpoints, files that store a list of endpoints, profile
managers, or a combination of these. Where the -s option specifies
a list of endpoints, the script runs on each endpoint.
- spost:src_postscript
- Specifies a script to run on the origin system of the data
file, before the data is transmitted. When sending data, the origin
system must be a source host, that is a Tivoli managed node, functioning
as a gateway or a repeater, where Software Distribution is installed,
or an endpoint, when data is sent from one endpoint to one or more
endpoints. When retrieving data, the origin list can include multiple
Tivoli endpoints, files that store a list of endpoints, profile
managers, or a combination of these. Where the -s option specifies
a list of endpoints, the script runs on each endpoint.
- tpre:targ_prescript
- Specifies a script to run on the destination system, before
the data is transmitted. When retrieving data, the destination system
must be a source host, that is a Tivoli managed node, functioning
as a gateway or a repeater, where Software Distribution is installed,
which afterwards redirects the data to the destination systems.
When sending or deleting data, the destination list can include
multiple Tivoli endpoints, files that store a list of endpoints,
profile managers, or a combination of these. Where the -t option
specifies a list of endpoints, the script runs on each endpoint.
- tpost:targ_postscript
- Specifies a script to run on the destination system, before
the data is transmitted. When retrieving data, the destination system
must be a source host, that is a Tivoli managed node, functioning
as a gateway or a repeater, where Software Distribution is installed,
which afterwards redirects the data to the destination systems.
During retrieve operations, the post-script on the origin system
(an endpoint) runs before the data is sent to the destination system.
When sending or deleting data, the destination list can include
multiple Tivoli endpoints, files that store a list of endpoints,
profile managers, or a combination of these. Where the -t option
specifies a list of endpoints, the script runs on each endpoint.
- In the Scripts for Pre- and post-processing section, replace
the first bulleted list with the following two lists:
The following list shows the sequence of scripts for send operations:
- Origin pre-processing script on the origin system.
- Destination pre-processing script on each endpoint.
- Destination post-processing script on each endpoint.
- Origin post-processing script on the origin system.
The following list shows the sequence of scripts for retrieve
operations:
- Destination pre-processing script on each endpoint.
- Origin pre-processing script on the origin system.
- Destination post-processing script on each endpoint.
- Origin post-processing script on the origin system.
- In the Scripts for Pre- and Post-processing section, replace
the descriptions for parameters 5 and 6 with the following descriptions:
- Parameter 5 Endpoint
Label
- Unique endpoint identifier. This parameter is only available
for the post-processing script on the source host, that is a Tivoli
managed node, functioning as a gateway or a repeater, where Software
Distribution is installed.
- Parameter 6 Endpoint Result
- Result of the operation on the endpoint. Possible results
are
0 (success) and 1 (failure). This parameter is only available for
the post-processing script on the source host, that is a Tivoli
managed node, functioning as a gateway or a repeater, where Software
Distribution is installed.
- In the Scripts for Pre- and Post-processing section, replace
the explanantion for the example with the following explanation:
The destination system for this command is a source host and
the source list
includes two endpoints. The purpose of the merge.sh script is to
create a single file on the source host system by merging the files
that have been retrieved from the endpoints. The merge.sh script
is performed as a post-processing script on the source host after
the files have been retrieved from the specified endpoints.
The following information changes apply to the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: User's Guide for Inventory.
- In Appendix B, "Commands," in the wconsole command,
add the following to the last paragraph of the -l option
section:
If you do not specify a path with this option, the directory
is allocated in $DBDIR.
Read access is also required at the root level to use the defaults.
If you accept the defaults or do not provide READ or LIST access
all the way down to the final directory, the command will not work.
