Tivoli Business Service Manager (TBSM) v4.2 IF3 Available

in Best Practices, IBM, Implementation, TBSM, Tivoli, Usability

The next IF is now available for TBSM v4.2 with many fixes for core TBSM and incorporated products such as TIP and WebTop. This IF includes TBSM v4.2 IF1/IF2 content and supersedes those IF’s. The IF is available here. I’m trying to clarify what’s included in this from TIP and WebTop. I know this doesn’t include the latest WebTop IF.

TBSM v4.2 APARs that are included in this Interim Fix:

Omnibus database or the configured backup Ominbus database.

IZ45594 AEAT IN SERVICE ADMINISTRATION

After clicking on a service in the Service Navigation tree (Service Administration only), the service displayed in Service
Editor sometimes does not refresh. This occurs if the view View Definition for the current service is changed from the default
Relationships, to something else.

IZ47192 TBSM 4.2 TREE SHOWS WRONG STATUS ICONS

When service instances in the Service Tree and Service Navigation portlets display a scorecard column (State, Time, Events, etc.) with an ‘unknown’ status, the portlet incorrectly displays the text ‘/ibm/sla/imagesunknown_status.png’ rather than the correct default unknown status image (grey disk with a question mark)
