APAR IZ36578
- Abstract:
- LPAR property/group not added to the hardware Windows configuration
of existing profiles
- Error Description:
- The LPAR property/group is not added to the hardware Windows
configuration of an existing profile, if one of the following fix
packs has already been applied:
- Configuration Manager 4.2.3 Fix Pack 2
- Configuration Manager 4.2.3 Fix Pack 3
- Configuration Manager 4.2.3 Fix Pack 4
APAR IZ37067
- Abstract:
- Inventory log file is written as nobody:nobody
- Error Description:
- Inventory log file is created as nobody:nobody 666. 666 is a
too high permission that is not compliant with the security rules.
Set it to 644.
APAR IZ37463
- Abstract:
- Signature files have size 0
- Error Description:
- A signature software scan can find files having a zero (0) file
size. However, the MATCH_SWARE_VIEW that
joins the SIGNATURE table with UNMATCHED_FILES, which represents the results
of the file system scan named "Scan for Basic Information",
does not display any match for signature files having size 0, even
if the file system scan can detect these files.
APAR IZ40935
- Abstract:
- Data is truncated because the field for the OS_SUB_VERS data only allows 32 characters
- Error Description:
- The value for the Inventory hardware scan data OS_SUB_VERS, named "Sub Version" in the
MIF file, is limited to 32 characters, but, for example, the result
data for the polish Microsoft Windows XP Professional service pack
1 is 35 characters long. The following is a sample tivhscan.mif file:
Start Attribute
Name = "Sub Version"
ID = 5
Type = String(32)
Value = "Build 2600: Dodatek Service Pack. 1"
End Attribute
APAR IZ41054
- Abstract:
- The 20081130 catalog file causes an Inventory scan failure
- Error Description:
- If you have downloaded the catalog named
itlcm22-allProducts-fullSwCat-20081130.xml
and
you have run one of these commands:
- winvmigrate -c itlcm22-allProducts-fullSwCat-20081130.xml
- winvsig -a -f itlcm22-allProducts-fullSwCat-20081130.xml
when you perform an Inventory scan against a Windows endpoint
the scan fails.
- Additional information:
- The scan failure is caused by an incorrect signature in the catalogWindows.txt file, which is downloaded
on the endpoint. The reason is that the Configuration Manager scanner
does not accept an extended signature that is split into multiple
rows:
42987]57b056a4abfe46c0b480d883136ada59]0]400]1]&nil;]
<Signaturename="Oracle 11g"
guid="57b056a4abfe46c0b480d883136ada59"><Variable
The
signature must be all in one single row.
APAR IZ42275
- Abstract:
- Tivoli Desktop 4.3.1 if installed into a non-default
path causes an Inventory GUI launch problem
- Error Description:
- If you install the Tivoli desktop from Configuration Manager
4.3.1 CD 3 and specify a non-default installation path such
as c:\tivoli\desktop, when you try to
launch the inventory editor GUI it does not launch. A hard-coded issue
is present in the file c:\Tivoli\Desktop\Console\InvGUI.bat.
The suggested workaround for this issue is to change the path to match
your non-default installation path.
APAR IZ42283
- Abstract:
- Inventory profile creation using the Tivoli desktop does not
work on Windows platforms
- Error Description:
- When you try to create an inventory profile using the Tivoli
desktop, the profile might not be created and an oserv failure popup
panel might be displayed. The problem does not necessarily occur during
the first attempt to create the profile.
APAR IZ42943
- Abstract:
- Software signature scan fails
- Error Description:
- After loading the file named inventory-allProducts-fullSwCat-20080831.xml and
performing a signature scan, the software signature scan fails. This
issue is caused by the extended signature being split into multiple
rows.
APAR IZ44261
- Abstract:
- MIF parse error in tivrscan.mif on AS/400 endpoints
- Error Description:
- When performing a scan on an AS/400 endpoint for "scan registry
for product information", the following error occurs:
Dec 01 13:35:30 Q MethInit ** Exception caught in run_impl: MIF
parse
error: tivrscan.mif: line 780: syntax error
Context: "5"
APAR IZ44909
- Abstract:
- wscanfs -reset failure due to LIBPATH
setting
- Error Description:
- Because of the LIBPATH setting used by Configuration Manager,
an Inventory scan performed on AIX platforms might fail and display
the following error message:
INFO: Command to run: /opt/tivoli/cit/bin/wscanfs -reset
INFO: Dumping CLI invocation parameters:

APAR IZ46768
- Abstract:
- Deadlocks when writing to the PRINTER table
- Error Description:
- When running big Inventory scans, deadlocks can be found in
the RIM log for the PRINTER and MOUSE tables.
- Additional Information:
- The PRINTER and MOUSE tables are leaf tables (no computer_sys_id)
so they can be concurrently accessed by different output threads.
APAR IZ47661
- Abstract:
- Inventory 431 malloc occurs
- Error Description:
- Inventory 431 malloc occurs when performing a compression of
MIF files on the endpoint.
APAR IZ49535
- Abstract:
- Inventory scan on AIX platforms might cause malloc
- Error Description:
- Tivoli Configuration Manager 431 Inventory scan on AIX platforms
might cause malloc when scanning large file systems.
APAR IZ49791
- Abstract:
- INV_CONFIG_EP_METHS process might hang
- Error Description:
- The Common Inventory Technology scanner wscansw might
create a malformed or truncated output file named inv/SCAN/swscan.xml especially
if the wscansw command cores.
APAR IZ49856
- Abstract:
- Log message contains misleading information when the signature
catalog is not found
- Error Description:
- When the catalog of the signatures is not downloaded, the log
file shows that wscanner tried to run but does not specify
that the problem is caused by a missing catalog. A more specific log
file would be useful.
APAR IZ50748
- Abstract:
- Directory exclusion in Inventory profile does not work with
CIT 2.6
- Error Description:
- With the Common Inventory Technology (CIT) version 2.6 provided
by Tivoli Configuration Manager, the directory exclusion does not
work correctly.
APAR IZ51170
- Abstract:
- Incorrect number of lines after running wqueryinv command
- Error Description:
- Even if the PHYSICAL PROCESSOR table
contains the correct number of entries, when performing wqueryinv, more entries are added.
APAR IZ51313
- Abstract:
- Signature catalog should not be sent if the signature scan is
not required
- Error Description:
- A signature catalog for Windows is sent to a Windows endpoint
even if the Inventory profile is not configured to scan for signatures.
The same issue occurs on UNIX platforms.
APAR IZ52869
- Abstract:
- Log file specified with wsetinvglobal must
allow you to specify the permissions
- Error Description:
- You must be able to specify what the permissions are in the
log file specified when running the wsetinvglobal command.
These permissions were modified into 666 nobody:esms with
APAR IZ37067 and they are now 644 again.
- Additional Information:
- To enable the fix provided, you must enable the GA_INV_LOG_FILE_CHMOD environment
variable as follows:
run
odadmin environ get >e
edit e
and add at the bottom of the file e
GA_INV_LOG_FILE_CHMOD=TRUE
odadmin environ set <e
odadmin reexec all
APAR IZ53428
- Abstract:
- $remote keyword not working if preceeded by "/"
- Error Description:
- Common Inventory Technology (CIT) provides the capability to
scan a remote drive if it is preceded by the $REMOTE:: key.
The Inventory server and the wsetinvpcfiles / wsetinvunixfiles commands add a / prefix
to all the directory names specified in the Include Directory section.
CIT cannot read this key.
The following fix applies to UNIX endpoints
only:
The Tivoli Configuration Manager code has been modified,
so that the "/" prefix is not added, if the "$REMOTE"
string is located at the beginning of the directory name.
- Additional Information:
- Even if the $REMOTE prefix is correctly set, the scan against
a remote drive might not work, in particular on Windows platforms,
because the remote drive might not be visible to the TRAA (wlcftap)
TMF user, when it invokes any command. For example, when running
a simple TMF task such as:
ls -la N:/
where N:/ is a remote
resource, the scan might not work.
APAR IZ55281
- Abstract:
- ACCESSED TIME information is
now provided by the tivsscan.mif file
- Error Description:
- If you perform an Inventory software scan, configured using
the Scan for installed products using signature
matching scan option, you retrieve new information named ACCESSED TIME, which shows the GMT time
when the signature file was last accessed.
- Additional Information:
- The software signature scan on the endpoint now discovers the ACCESSED TIME information for each matched
signature. On the endpoint, the inv/SCAN/tivsscan.mif file
now shows this information. The INVENTORY_SWARE and H_INVENTORY_SWARE
queries have been updated to display the new column. Also the INST_SWARE_VIEW
and H_INST_SWARE_VIEW have been modified.
APAR IZ63870
- Abstract:
- wscanvpd might fail with return
code 52
- Error Description:
- The wscanvpd command uses a Windows
API to collect the product information, and if this API fails, then wscanvpd also fails on some endpoints and displays
a return code of 52.
APAR IZ64673
- Abstract:
- SQL0180N inserting the ACCESSED_TIME column
into the database
- Error Description:
- When inserting the ACCESSED_TIME column
into the MSWARE_DESC table, a SQL0180N error
occurs, during the UPDATE with difference scan. When performing REPLACE
with current results, no error is generated.
