Content:

This version provides fixes to IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 4.1 Discovery Library toolkit.

* Fixes that are included in this Interim Fix:
IY97448- Discovery Library Updates
162326 – Improve Loading Process For Large zOS Books
162345 – TADDM Resource Updates not reflected in TBSM
162372 – TADDM Discovery intervals
162936 – Move cdm_labelingClassOverRide
163040 – Error Parsing SQL Generated from TADDM Discovery
163624 – SCR_GET_SEED_EVENTIDS_AND_PROPERTIES sql exception
163703 – Delta containing only a new relationship is not triggering invalidate/validate

IMPORTED TADDM BUSINESS APPLICATIONS MISSING PHYSICAL RESOURCES (162372)

Business Applications imported from TADDM appear in the Services tree, but physical resources contained in the business application are not visible. This occurs when a new business application discovered via a delta update contains previously discovered physical resources

TADDM DELTA DISCOVERY CONTAINING ONLY RELATIONSHIP UPDATES (163703)

If the SCR only recieves a relationship in a delta, the SCR does not automatically invalidate/validate the object in the service tree. This would be the case if a new resource was added to an existing business application. The new resource would not be seen unless the service was first invalidated. The invalidate should have been automatic.

COMMAND LINE REQUEST FOR TADDM BULK AND DELTA DISCOVERIES (162372)

This fix adds the -r flag to the cmdbdiscovery command. This allows for a larger value to be specified for the DL_PollIntervalSeconds property in xmltoolkitsvc.properties, allowing command line request to initiate discoveries between the polling interval. Prior to this, discoveries only ran when the polling interval expired.

PROPERTY DL_TADDM_IMMEDIATE_POLL ADDED TO XMLTOOLKITSVC.PROPERTIES (162372)

The property DL_TADDM_IMMEDIATE_POLL has been added to the xmltoolkitsvc.properties file. Prior behaviour of the discovery library toolkit was to immediately run a TADDM discovery at service start-up, then wait DL_PollIntervalSeconds before running another discovery. Specifying DL_TADDM_IMMEDIATE_POLL=false instructs the toolkit not to run an initial discovery, but wait DL_PollingIntervalSeconds before running the first discovery.

TADDM RESOURCE UPDATES NOT REFLECTED IN TBSM (162372)

Attribute updates received by a TADDM delta discovery for previously discovered resources were not reflected in TBSM.

STACK OVERFLOW FOR LARGE ZOS DLA BOOKS (162326)

Depending on the objects and attributes, some large zOS DLA books caused a stack overflow in the toolkit. This change also results in a significant performance increase in the processing of books.

NEW DIRECTIVES IN EVENTIDENTIFIERRULES.XML AND LABELINGRULES.XML (162326)

The Token element has been enhanced to include two new controls – case and token – for controlling how the string is written into the identifier or labeling string being created. The new syntax is as follows when the keyword attribute is set to “ATTR”:

SQL PARSING ERROR GENERATED FROM TADDM DISCOVERY (163624)

Attribute data containing newline characters generated exceptions in SQL processing.

NEW SERVICES AND RESOURCES NOT VISIBLE IN THE SERVICE TREE (162345) (163040)

On occasion, newly discovered resources received through the discovery library toolkit were not visible in the service tree.

TABLE cdm_labelingClassOverRide MISSING AFTER RECREATING TABLES (162936)

Table cdm_labelingClassOverRide is deleted by the stagings SQL but created by the scc sql.
