This section describes some limitations that affect DBCS
environments found during the usage of the IBM Tivoli Configuration
Manager, Version 4.2 GA version, that were not reported in the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: Release Notes.
- Defect 39743: Help missing for Software
Distribution Pre-Ex-Co Requisite. In Change Manager GUI, the Help
button for Software Distribution Pre-requisite, Ex-requisite and
Co-requisite dialog does not work in non-English environment. See
also Defect 47658 in this same section.
- Defect 47615: On Red Hat Linux 7.3 in
a Japanese environment, all Japanese fonts are garbled on the Software
Package Editor GUI.
Workaround: Set LANG=C and start the Software Package Editor.
All text strings are displayed in English. However, with LANG=C,
the Japanese input method on the Software Package Editor GUI is
disabled, and Japanese directory and file names are garbled.
- Defect 47616: Software package block file
import fails when the 0x5C is included in the input file path. Import
of software package block fails if the input file path contains
0x5C DBCS characters, and if the path is specified by browsing and selecting
from the GUI file browser.
Workaround: Type the input file path in the Input File Path text
box manually, without using the file browser.
- Defect 47655: On a Red Hat Linux Enterprise
2.1 Tivoli management region server, the Japanese input method used
to enter Japanese characters into several Tivoli Java-based GUIs,
is not invoked when Shift + space bar is pressed. This problem occurs
on the following GUIs: Activity Plan Editor, Activity Plan Monitor,
Change Manager GUI, and Software Package Editor on managed nodes.
Workaround: The input method is correctly invoked if you add
the XMODIFIERS environment variable to the Java GUI start script.
Add the following two lines to the appropriate start script:
XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
export XMODIFIERS
The following is a list of start scripts for each Java GUI:
- Activity Plan Editor: /opt/Tivoli/bin/linux-ix86/TME/APM/EDGUI/apmedit.sh
- Activity Plan Monitor: /opt/Tivoli/bin/linux-ix86/TME/APM/MONGUI/apmmon.sh
- Change Manager: /opt/Tivoli/bin/linux-ix86/TME/CCM/GUI/ccmgui.sh
- Software Package Editor: /opt/Tivoli/bin/linux-ix86/speditor/classes/sped_mn.sh
- Defect 47656: In the pie chart view of
the Activity Plan Monitor GUI, the chart displays some garbled text.
It also displays incorrect chart data. These cases usually occur
after the pie chart has been moved (2-dimensional to 3-dimensional and
vice versa) using the mouse.
- Defect 47658: Any new strings added to
GUIs after the GA, included in fix packs, are not translated until
the next release of the product. This includes any changes or additions
to online help. Therefore, in non-English environments, new or changed
helped is not displayed in Java GUIs such as Activity Plan Editor, Activity
Plan Monitor, Change Manager, or Software Package Editor GUIs.
- Defect 47862: If you install fix pack
3 using the ISMP installation program that generates a single activity
plan that upgrades all services and components, it may occur that
the first activity related to the installation of the Activity Planner interim
fix is installed successfully, but the state remains in "St" (Started)
rather than "Su" (Successful). The remaining activities in the plan
are not executed because of the incorrect "St" state of the first
activity.
Workaround: To proceed with the remaining activities in the generated
plan, re-submit the entire plan a second time.
- Defect 49709: If a user has a DBCS user
name, the name is garbled in the Resource Group Members dialog.
- Defect 168072: The time stamp and elapsed
time fields are not translated into Japanese when Tivoli Enterprise
Console events are sent after an inventory profile is distributed.
- Defect 168113: The phrase "Inventory Task"
is not translated into Japanese in either the Edit->Create
Activity menu in the APM Editor or the pop-up label for the Inventory
Task icon.
- Defect 168114: The following strings are
not translated into Japanese in the APM Editor help:
- Topic
- Activity Plan Editor Dialogs
- Inventory Scan Options
The help contents for Inventory Scan Properties are also not translated
into Japanese.
- Defect 168171: In the Change Configuration
Management GUI help, the Inventory Scan Online help is not translated
into Japanese.
- Defect 169797: Distributing a UNIX software
scan profile to an AIX endpoint fails if basic information is selected
to scan and send the results to the database. The MIF parser is
not properly handling a DBCS character.
- Defect 169822: The file name returned
by an inventory scan is garbled when scanning files for basic information
in DBCS environments.
- Defect 169823: The inventory custom filter
does not work in DBCS environments when the codeset for the endpoint
differs from the codeset for the Tivoli server (such as a Windows
endpoint and a Linux server).
- Defect 169824: When a DBCS signature is
added, the file that matches the signature is not scanned on Red
Hat Linux endpoints.
