5.1-PCA-0003 Verification Summary Report
----------------------------------------
This report summarizes the results of 5.1-PCA-0003 verification.
External ID
5.1-PCA-0003
Internal ID
51PCA003
Fixes contained in patch
------------------------
NOTE: Unless indicated otherwise each fix listed applies to all PC Agents
including all platforms and all communication protocols (TCP/IP and
SPX/IPX).
31876 - The "RunOnce" registry value is not acted on if other PC Agent
values exist. (platforms: NT) (protocols: TCP/IP)
35237/IX75340 - Elapsed time indicated by the PC Agent for file sends
and receives is incorrect. (platforms: OS/2) (protocols: TCP/IP)
41932 - PC Agent incorrectly attempts to fully qualify paths that are
already fully qualified. (protocols: SPX/IPX)
43469/IX80004 - PC Agent fails to close TCP/IP connections. (platforms:
OS/2) (protocols: TCP/IP)
44348 - The wsetval command makes no mention of the '-b' switch it it's
usage statement or man page. (platforms: Win95, NT)
61673 - PC Agent leaks memory upon receiving nested filepacks.
62701 - PC Agent's supervisory account is not configurable after
receiving a distribution. (platforms: NetWare) (protocols:
TCP/IP)
IY00643 - Small intermittent PC Agent memory leak per filepack
installed or uninstalled. (protocols: TCP/IP)
Verification Results
--------------------
Defect/APAR Test Status
----------- ---- ------
31876 Verify that the "RunOnce" registry value entry is PASS
run with the new PC Agent. Restart the agent
multiple times to verify that the script is run only
the first time started.
35237/IX75340 Verify that when getting and putting a file to an PASS
OS/2 PC Agent, using the wgetfile and wputfile
commands, will have elapsed times that are correct
and not negative.
41932 Distribute a file package, to a TNWR with SPX PASS
clients which contains a file with a "d=" option to
override the destination directory for that file.
The "d=" option should contain a fully qualified path
to a directory where the file should be pushed. The
dist should complete successfully and the file located
in the correct directory.
43469/IX80004 Use "netstat -s" to get a list of all CLOSE_WAIT PASS
state TCP/IP connections to the OS/2 machine. Use
a loop to create at least 10 separate TCP/IP
connections to the PC Agent. "wpcmngnode "
can be used to create the connections. After
connections are complete, get a new list of the
connections to the OS/2 machine. The number of
connections should be the same as before.
44348 Verify that the wsetval usage message now contains PASS
the "-b" switch.
61673 Create nested filepacks, inner_fp and outer_fp. Put PASS
inner_fp into outer_fp. Check the amount of memory
the PC Agent uses. Distribute outer_fp to at
least one of the PC Agents. Create a fp block for
outer_fp using wcrtfpblock command. Distribute
outer_fp to at least one of the PC Agents. Check the
amount of memory the PC Agent is using. This amount
should be the same as before the distribution.
62701 Configure a Netware PC Agent to use either bindary or PASS
NDS security via the Ctrl-S at the PC Agent console.
Distribute a filepack to this PC Agent. Attempt to
change the password using both the original password
and the original password in all capitals.
IY00643 Create a profile package to distribute some files in PASS
a folder on a netware PC-ManagedNode. In the
NetWare Options dialog, insert a message for Only
clients with locks on files. Verify the agent is
running and the folder is not already created on the
netware server. Load the monitor module and monitor
the number of "Memory bytes in use". Distribute the
filepack several times, removing the destination
folder before each distribution. The memory should
grow a little on the first distribution, and stay the
same on any further distributions.
Regression Tests
----------------
- Installed via SIS and the Tivoli Desktop. PASS
- Software Distribution WTD Testsuite. PASS
- PC Agent Installation and Upgrade. PASS
- Netware Security. PASS
NOTE: In the Framework 3.6 Planning and Installation Guide, page
10-4 states that the 4.x PC Agent can support both bindary
and NDS authentication. This is not working properly.
Currently the 3.x PC Agent (tivnw.nlm) only supports bindary
authentication and the 4.x PC Agent (tivnw4.nlm) only
supports NDS Authentication. If bindary authentication is
needed on 4.x and 5.x machines, then the 3.x PC Agent can
be used.
- Restart/Reboot Options. PASS
- Down Node PASS
- Y2K Testing PASS
NOTE: The PC Agent writes an activity log (tivoli.log) with the
following date format: MM/DD/YY. This format indicates that
in the year 2000 the year field would be written as 00. This
only happens with NT/9.x/3.x PC Agents. OS/2 and NetWare PC
Agents properly show the year 2000 in the log file.
