3.6.1-TMF-0025 Verification Summary Report
------------------------------------------
This report summarizes the results of 3.6.1-TMF-0025 verification.
External ID
3.6.1-TMF-0025
Internal ID
361TMF25
Fixes contained in patch
------------------------
IX87959 - When a 3.6.1 endpoint on a computer running Windows 95 is
distributed a filepack with the "reboot after receive" option set,
the computer hangs at the splash screen during shutdown.
IY00176 - Endpoints gets stuck in the close-wait state while opening
other ports and placing them in the close-wait state also.
IY00672 - The waddicon CLI found in the LCF bundle for Windows 95
will not create icons. It instead creates a file named "waddicon.err"
in the current working directory.
67228 - InstallShield miscalculates if there is enough space on
hard drive needed to install and occasionally installs when there
is not enough space and hangs during installation.
IX85877 - Endpoints on DHCP machines are unreachable after their IP
address changes. (Patch 3.6.1-TMF-0050 must also be installed for
this APAR.)
IY01111 - An endpoint that is not logged in can accept downcalls,
but crashes with a "DLL not found" error.
74321 - Provide a way to completely disable lcfd httpd.
IX87028 - OS/2 Endpoints are critically short of resources during
the "after script" on distribution of OS/2 filepacks
IX86452 - During heavy system usage, the DM endpoint engine fails
with a Dr. Watson error indicating access denied.
IX87214 - Endpoint binaries do not match patched TMR binaries after
SIS patch install. Thus, SIS endpoint installations did not use the
patched endpoint binaries.
IX87216 - Endpoint upgrade was unsuccessful because the TivoliAP.dll
library was being copied to an incorrect directory.
IX89436 - While waiting for a response from a gateway during the
login process, http requests to the endpoint or upcalls on the
endpoint can reset a timer which can cause the login process to be
extended.
IY01222 - The upgrade of an NT endpoint would fail if the TivoliAP.dll
was in use and was located on a drive different from the drive where
the endpoint was installed. The error message that was displayed would
indicate an error in the renaming of sys.tmp.
IX83459 - on multi-NIC systems, lcfd binds to incorrect IP address.
There was previously no way to specify the desired IP address except
via the hostname.
Verification Results
--------------------
Defect/APAR Test Status
----------- ---- ------
IX87959 Distributed a filepack with reboot option set to PASS
Windows 95 endpoint.
IY00176 Deleted endpoint so login would fail and checked PASS
netstat for CLOSE_WAIT sockets.
IY00672 Executed waddicon from within a task to verify that PASS
icons are created correctly.
67228 Filled hard drive to the free space size of interest PASS
and verified that the install failed gracefully.
IX85877 Forced IP address to change on DHCP machine. Waited PASS
for gateway to receive update, then issued a downcall.
IY01111 Issued a simple downcall request to endpoint while PASS
login throttle was denying login.
74321 Issued various http requests for http_disabled of 0, PASS
1, and 2 to verify expected behavior.
IX87028 Opened files until out of descriptors to verify that PASS
50 additional file handles are available.
IX86452 Not reproducable. N/A
IX87214 Endpoints were installed via winstlcf, SIS Endpoint PASS
install, SIS Endpoints for PcManagedNode install,
InstallShield, and upgrades. The binaries laid down
by the different installs were compared.
IX87216 Issued an upgrade and verified that TivoliAP.dll is PASS
now placed in the correct directory.
IX89436 Issued http requests and downcalls and verified that PASS
timer is not reset to full count and logins succeed.
IY01222 Issued an upgrade with endpoint installed on drive D: PASS
IX83459 Used the option to specify various IP addresses for the PASS
bind. Used netstat to verify bind to correct address.
