Abstract:
When submitting activities with an inventory scan to unavailable endpoints, the APM monitor always reports STARTED instead of FAILED.
Error Description:
With APM, when you submit an activity that contains an inventory scan to unavailable targets, the APM monitor always reports STARTED instead of FAILED. For example, if you run the wmdist -q dist_ID command with unavailable targets, the scanner reports FAILED. However, the wmonpln -lw command would report STARTED, even if the deadline is reached. The APM also still shows the plan and activity as STARTED and not FAILED if wsetinvglobal -n IMMEDIATE is set for the inventory profile and the inventory MDist 2 distribution expires.

Error Description:
After the fix for APAR IY46226 from fix pack 4.0-INV-FP07 is installed, inserts into leaf tables fail with a collation error if the collation setting for the inventory database differs from the collation setting of the temp_db database.

APAR IY57200

Abstract:
Duplicate entry for the same printer after a diffs scan.
Error Description:
After performing hardware scans to a Windows endpoint in update with differences (DIFFS) mode, the INST_PRINTER table reports duplicate entries for the same printer, and thus the number of printers stored in the inventory database for that endpoint is greater than the number of printers actually installed.

APAR IY57351

The following section describes in detail each APAR and some of the internal defects that were fixed in either this fix pack or in an interim fix released after fix pack 3:

APAR IY55298

Abstract:
Exception error when running on windows machines the command WINSTSP -L EXECUTE_TIMEOUT=0 -F FILE.SPB TARGET
Error Description:
On a Windows machine, if you run the command: < winstsp -l execute_timeout=0 -f file.spb target > you get an exception memory error. On a UNIX machine you get a different error message saying the value 0 for the variable execute_timeout is invalid.

APAR IY55560

Abstract:
Multiple wspmvdata submissions caused INTERRUPTED state in MDIST2.
Error Description:
With Configuration Manager 4.2 fix pack 1 and fix pack 2, when submitting multiple wspmvdata requests from endpoint to endpoint, distributions entered the INTERRUPTED state in MDIST2. This happens when more than one datamoving request is started at the same time. The endpoint rejects the new connection because there is already a connection active. The is-exclusive parameter, passed to the mdist by SWD, should be set to true, to allow just one distribution at a time to be spawned at the endpoint.

APAR IY55766

Abstract:
Rpm removal generates an error relating to --replacefiles option.
Error Description:
When trying to remove Caching Proxy version 5.0.2, which was installed using the --replacefiles option, an error message saying that replacefiles is not supported on a remove operation is shown in the log file:
STANDARD ERROR  (program: /bin/rpm - exit code = 1)
rpm: --replacefiles may only be specified during package
installation
The exported definition of the rpm package is:
install_rpm_package
caption = "Caching Proxy 5.0.2"
rpm_options = -vv
rpm_install_type = install
rpm_install_options = --replacefiles
rpm_install_force = n
rpm_install_nodeps = n
rpm_remove_nodeps = n
rpm_report_log = y

APAR IY55855

Abstract:
On AS400 JSPE the user can choose the DESCENT option and select multiple objects on the same library. The save action traps.
Error Description:
The AS400 Speditor 4.2 Fixpack 2 permits the selection of the DESCENT option on the OS400 Library and also the insertion of multiple objects on the same library. This means that objects can be copied twice on the same library. When trying to save the package, the action traps. To fix the problem deselect the DESCENT option or delete all the duplicated objects.

APAR IY55887

Abstract:
Remove and delete options not correctly translated in ap editor
Error Description:
The AP Editor in Canadian French shows the operation REMOVE as SUPPRIMER, and also the operation DELETE as SUPPRIMER. It is therefore impossible to select the DELETE option.

APAR IY56524

Abstract:
Delta install of .SPB fails when run by non-root user.
Error Description:
If a Software Package is converted to a built package by a root (UNIX) adminstrator, the resulting .SPB file is created with 600 permissions. If subsequently a non-root adminstrator is used to perform a Delta distribution involving this package, it fails because the user cannot open the .SPB file to produce the Delta package.

APAR IY56524

Abstract:
Delta install of .SPB fails when run by non-root user.
Error Description:
If a Software Package is converted to a built package by a root (UNIX) adminstrator, the resulting .SPB file is created with 600 permissions. If subsequently a non-root adminstrator is used to perform a Delta distribution involving this package, it fails because the user cannot open the .SPB file to produce the Delta package.

APAR IY56568

Abstract:
Failure of commit in case of network failure
Error Description:
The commit fails when there is a network failure, because Software Distribution manages it, but adds a reboot request to the booting.lst file. This is an example of what happens:
  1. Perform an installation transactional
  2. During this transactional installation there is a network failure
  3. Complete the transactional installation
  4. Commit the package
  5. Endpoint SWD traces wrongly show that a reboot has been requested
  6. The gateway goes into INTERRUPTED status
  7. After the retry_interval the gateway reconnects to Endpoint and these messages are shown:
    DISSE0029I Current software package status is  ----- .
    DISSE0005E Operation unsuccessful.
    DISSE0005E Operation unsuccessful.

APAR IY57874

Abstract:
CM 4.2.1- import of msi with double quotes fails
Error Description:
When using CM4.2.1, an export of an SP profile containing an MSI package into an SPD format causes multiple pairs of quotes inside the properties field:
properties = "'TRANSFORMS=$(TransformID) REBOOT=$(RebootMSI)
INSTALLDIR="$(InstallDir_NavNT_WKS)"'"
This causes an import error when trying to import into the JESPE: "DISSP6021E Failed to import...". Removing the extra set of quotes resolves the issue, but this is not always possible depending on the package specifics. Use this syntax:
properties = "'TRANSFORMS=$(TransformID) REBOOT=$(RebootMSI)
INSTALLDIR=c:\temp'"
Manually remove the extra quotes within the package if this option is possible.

APAR IY58294

Abstract:
Distribution waits for the default timeout before starting, even when nobody is logged on.
Error Description:
The Configuration Manager Software Distribution User's GuideVersion 4.2.1, pages 207 to 208, states the following: "5. In the Default timeout text box, type the interval of time the notification dialog is displayed. The default is 60 seconds. When the timeout period elapses, the default action is launch if the user is logged on. If the user is not logged on, the default action is launched immediately without a timeout period" The resulting action should be:
  1. If the user is logged on, the user notification dialog displays and the distribution waits for the timeout period to expire (in this case, 24 hours), then the distribution commences.
  2. If the user is logged off, the user notification dialog does NOT display and the distribution does NOT wait for the timeout period to expire (in this case, 24 hours), but the 'Default Action" (in this case ACCEPT) commences immediately.

Instead, while executing a Software Distribution on a workstation in logoff mode, installation is not executed immediately but only after the Default Timeout period. The distribution does not continue on the target when nobody is logged on, but it waits for the default timeout to expire before starting.

APAR IY58339

Abstract:
Activity with a remove action will fail if NOTIFY_EXT_DIRECTLY=A and the package is not installed on the endpoint.
Error Description:
When building an activity plan consisting of the removal of a software package for an endpoint, before the submission the software package is not installed on the endpoint. The plan completes with an error, with a message stating that the software package is not found. If the same operation is performed using the command wremovsp, the operation completes successfully. The problem occurs only if notify_ext_directly is set to a. Disable notify_ext_directly. Take care of the impacts on the performance you have by disabling the parameter.

APAR IY58340

Abstract:
wspmvdata -r spre: fails on commands with spaces
Error Description:
After migrating from Software Distribution 4.1 to 4.2.1, wspmvdata scripts are failing. The -r spre: parses the command differently.
DISSE0123E Unable to execute or complete
execution of program 'during_install - c:\install\tools\zip -q

Error Description:
There is a lack of synchronization when concurrent SWD threads attempt to connect to the RIM.

APAR IY59015

Abstract:
SWD 4.1 FP05- trace_size not adhered to for Netware endpoints.
Error Description:
With SWD 4.1 FP05, when tracing Netware Endpoints, the trace_size attribute is not adhered to and multiple *.trc files generated. The swdis.ini entries are:
trace_level=5
trace_size=1000
but the corresponding single *.trc file is 170MB.

APAR IY59331

Abstract:
Netware endpoints abend during software distribution due to incorrect handling of expiry information.
Error Description:
Netware endpoints abend during software distribution due to incorrect handling of expiry information.

APAR IY59862

Abstract:
"Calculate size" from GUI yields negative numbers.
Error Description:
"Calculate size" from GUI calls estimate_sp_size so the result should be the same as the idlcall. However, if the complete size (including nested packages) is greater than 2G, the GUI produces negative numbers.

APAR IY59930

Abstract:
File names beginning with "" (blank) cause an error at SP build time.
Error Description:
When a file name begins with a blank, for example: " MSBD Blu.Pst", the building of the SP including that file fails. Therefore wconvspo fails and also winstsp to install the SP in unbuilt format.

APAR IY60521

Abstract:
CM42-FP03: cannote add a keyword under HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU)
Error Description:
After applying CM42-FP03, SWD is unable to add keywords under HKCU. For example, if the SPD contains the following:
add_win_registry_key
add = y
stop_on_failure = y
replace_if_existing = y
remove_if_modified = n
parent_key = HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software
key = Test_Values
override_permissions = y
.......
Test_Values (under HKEY_CURRENT_USER) is not created.

APAR IY60734

Abstract:
Undo operation fails after reboot if one of the files is shared and locked
Error Description:
With Software Distribution 4.1.0 with patches 4.1-COU-0281 and 4.1-COU-0283, the problem occurs in the following scenario:

After the reboot the package is in ICU-- status, but the undo operation does not work.

APAR IY61152

Abstract:
Locked files not handled on Netware targets
Error Description:
Locked files are not handled on Netware Targets during software distribution. In order to make this fix effective the disconnect_timeout variable has to be set within the package. When Software Distribution finds that the file is locked it sends a message to connections that lock the file to advise that the connection will be closed, wait the timeout specified in disconnect_timeout, and then check if the file is still locked. If still locked, close the connection.

APAR IY61460

Abstract:
Import of SP from EP fails when using Name#Region syntax.
Error Description:
If you try to import an SP from an endpoint in an interconnected TMR, using the Name#Region syntax for the endpoint name it fails with the message:
Error when parsing attribute Value

To avoid this happening, use unique endpoint names across TMRs and do not specify the Name#Region systax for the endpoint.

APAR IY61565

Abstract:
Large data moving request from EP to MN goes INTERRUPTED.
Error Description:
When running a very large wspmvdata activity to move files from an Endpoint to a Managed Node the final phase of the activity can time out and go INTERRUPTED.

This seems to be caused by this phase of the operation - the unpacking of the SPB from the .res file in the work directory to the final destination - timing out after an arbitrary 10 minutes (600 seconds) regardless of the repeater/gateway or command line settings/parameters.

The distribution can be seen to remain at RECEIVING 100% for 10 minutes prior to going INTERRUPTED.

If possible, split the data move into several smaller activities.

APAR IY61585

Abstract:
Files missing from TCM 4.2 CCM Component
Error Description:
If you install CCM 4.2 in an SWD environment that was upgraded from SWD 4.1, some configuration files required to set up CCM are missing because they have been included in the SWD 4.2 Server component which, in this scenario, was not installed.

The missing files are:

Other files that may be required and are not present are:

Try to extract the required files from the Server component.

APAR IY61609

Abstract:
Software Distribution remove action of empty directories
Error Description:

APAR IY61670

Abstract:
Wweb publishing distributions hang at 100%
Error Description:
The wweb publishing command worked only once. New publishinng operation submits new distrbutions to the WAS endpoint but those distributions wait at 100 % forever. The distribution successfully reaches the endpoint but it seems hanging calling the publish_for_user methods. The hang is actually an abend. Also, whenever wweb is used, a core dump entry is entered in errpt for spd_eng

APAR IY62012

Abstract:
Upgarde 41 to 421 swdis_db2_migr_41-421.sql fails computer table records inconsistent w/sd_cm_status table
Error Description:
Upgrading from Software Distribution 4.1 to CM 4.2.1 ran the migration script:swdis_db2_migr_41-421.sql w/ APAR IY54176 modification (change column name MOD_VER to MOD_VERS) and still fails.

The database seems to be inconsistent: in computer table there are some records not present in sd_cm_status table. This could be caused by issuing inventory command winvrmnode, that only deletes entries in computer table (inventory repository) not in sd_cm_status (this has been fixed in later version). This causes the error related to the foreign key

Activity Planner

The following APARs for Activity Planner were fixed:

APAR IY55335

Abstract:
XML export of APM plan with activity that has many conditions, fails to import.
Error Description:
If an activity plan that has an activity with many conditions on other activities is exported to .XML, it fails to import with wimppln and from the GUI, if it is imported, it cannot be saved as a template:
AMN0053E The following error occurred during an attempt to
import plan:
Error "Incorrect condition" received while the condition for
activity Activity20 was being validated.

The problem is caused by a line break (CR/NL) that is inserted into the condition on the activity, if the condition is very long. Edit the .XML file manually to join the lines.

APAR IY56020

Abstract:
wsubpln failure with -T and thousands of targets in the file
Error Description:
wsubpln fails when the -T (uppercase) is used to resolve the $TARGET_LIST variable (used to specify the targets list at plan level, as follows:
<targets type="list">$(TARGET_LIST)</targets>)
Therefore if -T is specified, (-T 6cs86a:/home/gritzali/performance/4500.ep) and 4500.ep file contains at least 4500 targets, the submission does not occur and an exception is raised (as logged in APMCli trc):
04/03/24 13:51:47.758 EST:  APMCli_wsubpln   E  : com.tivoli.apm
Unable to save plan:: com.tivoli.framework.SysAdminException.ExS
com.tivoli.framework.SysAdminException.ExStdlib

APAR IY56238

Abstract:
Sometimes APM reexecutes same activity if an error occurs
Error Description:
With SWD 4.1 fixpack 5, sometimes the APM reexecutes the same activity if an error occurs when the executor already received a distribution ID. If an error occurs after distribution has been submitted to mdist2 the current action is not removed from the queue and it is executed again the next time the executor analyzes the queue.

APAR IY56589

Abstract:
Activity plans are not processed and remain in waiting status.
Error Description:
When running ITCM 421 and 4.2.1-APM-0009LA on AIX 4.3.3, during the processing of some APM activity, some Activity plans are submitted. The plans are shown in the output of wmonpln with status WAITING but they do not start. The request has been added into the executor thread, but there is no message of the request processing.

APAR IY58132

Abstract:
Spaces are removed from APM plan after doing an export then import operation (for example, in the variable values)
Error Description:
The user variables in SWD APM plans that have a value of " & " (note the spaces), the spaces get removed when doing export/import of the plan. For example, the contents of xml when doing the export are:
<parameter>
<name>%fred</name>
<value>&quot;Streets &amp; Trips 2004&quot;</value>
</parameter>
and after re-importing the XML file are:
<parameter>
<name>%fred</name>
<value>&quot;Streets&amp;Trips 2004&quot;</value>
</parameter>

The spaces need to be added back into the plan using the APM editor nd saving the plan.

APAR IY58571

Abstract:
wcntpln -f still not working although TCM-4.2.1-FP01 applied
Error Description:
wcntpln -f does not work properly, even though TCM-421-FP01 is installed.

This is the failing scenario:

  1. Submit a plan
  2. Submit the plan again as paused
  3. Run wcntpln -f <paused_plan>

The command changes the status of the activities/targets-into cancelled-for the <paused_plan> as expected, but it also changes some other targets of the previous plan (that are started) as Cancelled, mistakenly.

APAR IY58751

Abstract:
No target list APM exception if TARGETS_COMPUTATION=A and P
Error Description:
If an xml contains the following specification for the targets: <targets_computation>a</targets_computation> in the <activity> section of the xml file. <targets_computation>p</targets_computation> at plan level, the import of the plan succeeds and the submission (paused) too. But when it resumes, an error occurs. No target list has been specified for operation Install and the message ERROR 1084291602973", the return code is "3"is written in the log file apmlog0, followed by the list of the targets.

APAR IY55491

Abstract:
Import of reference model does not work from CCM GUI
Error Description:
After importing a root reference model with several child reference models, the save button in the CCM GUI only saves the root model at the top, but not the leaf class models. There is some unexpected behavior when using the ccm GUI: sometimes there is a "name duplication" error and sometimes some sub-reference models disappear from the GUI. The problem only occurs with the CCM GUI, and not the command line.

APAR IY60055

Abstract:
wdelrmod on DB2 MVS fails
Error Description:
A failure occurs when specifying wdelrmod -f -n self-service -v 1.0 to update reference model information. The string representation of a datetime is out of range.
