New features

The following new features have been introduced with this fix pack:

Cancelling an activity plan in Starting state - APAR IY70368

In the released version of the product, when you issue a cancel command for an activity plan, the command is queued and subsequently performed. If any activity in the plan to be cancelled is being submitted, the cancel command for that activity is performed only at the end of the submission, resulting in the possibility that the distribution is sent to some targets.

To solve this problem, the cancel command is now performed while the activity is still being submitted. This operation is performed only when the cancel command is requested for the entire plan, and not when the operation is requested only for a subset of the activities in the plan.

Specifying the path where a single file is saved on the destination system - APAR IY68180

According to the new product design, files moved using data moving are saved to a default directory. Using this option you can specify the path where a single file is saved on the destination system. In the Software Distribution command line the new -G option has been added to the wspmvdata command, while in the Activity Planner and Software Distribution GUI, the new Modify Destination Path check box has been added for the send and retrieve operations.

If you specify the -G option or select the Modify Destination Path check box, the file is saved on the destination system according to the following naming convention: name_endpoint_timestamp_distribution_id.extension. If you do not specify the -G option or select the Modify Destination Path check box, the default behavior applies and the retrieved file is saved with its original name to a directory on the destination system named according to the following convention: endpoint_distribution_id_timestamp.

Avoiding concurrent logins during critical distributions - Feature 54613

On Windows(R) operating systems, you can use the concurrent login feature to prevent the end user from logging in to the workstation and performing a shutdown while a distribution is taking place. This feature guarantees that critical distributions are not interrupted. You can also define a maximum number of logins that can be performed during a distribution. In this case, the distribution is paused and restarts after the user logs off. For more information, see Implementing the concurrent login feature.

Displaying the .jar files version - Feature 55204

You can display the version of APM .jar files, if the version is indicated in the .jar file. You can start the command on Tivoli(R) servers and managed nodes after having set the Tivoli environment, as described below:

On UNIX(R) operating systems:
. ./wjarversion.sh jarfile
On Windows operating systems:
wjarversion.bat jarfile

where:

jarfile
Is the name of the .jar file for which you want to display the version. The following are the .jar files supported for this feature:

The files required for implementing this feature are located in the /JarVersion folder on IBM(R) Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version 4.2.2 Fix Pack 1 CD 2.
