Patch:  4.1.1-TMF-0011

Component:  Tivoli Framework 4.1.1

General Description:

    4.1.1-TMF-0011 corrects problems affecting Mobile, JRIM, JCF, the
    MDist2 GUI, and the Tivoli Desktop for Windows. No patches need to be
    installed prior to the installation of this patch. It is recommended,
    but not required, that 4.1.1-TMF-0010 and 4.1.1-LCF-0004 be installed
    in conjunction with 4.1.1-TMF-0011 for additional fixes.

Problems Fixed:

  New fixes in 4.1.1-TMF-0011:

    APAR IY39616
    Symptoms: The MDIST2 (Distribution status) GUI hangs and terminates
    abnormally on Windows 2000, if you leave it open for some time.

    Additional Information: The fix for this APAR requires that the JRIM 
    images in the JAVA/JRIM411 subdirectory be installed.  See the
    "Database Changes and Special Considerations" section below for more
    information about the installation of JRIM411. The fix for this APAR
    also requires that the images in the 411MD202 subdirectory be
    installed.

    APAR IY50489
    Symptoms: When doing a NetWare managed node installation with ISS
    files, silent mode, and using "setup.exe -r" so that the session is
    recorded, the installation works correctly. However, if the recorded
    session is then used to create a different managed node, that second
    installation does not work successfully.

    Additional Information: The fix for this APAR requires new
    InstallShield images for NetWare gateways, which are in the NWGW
    subdirectory.

    APAR IY52045
    Symptoms: On French Canadian Windows 2000 endpoints with Mobile and
    NLS installed, the first Mobile popup appears in English, and all
    subsequent Mobile windows appear in French.

    Additional Information: The fix for this APAR requires that the
    Mobile images in the MOBILE subdirectory be installed.  It is
    also recommended that endpoint patch 4.1.1-LCF-0004 be installed on
    the endpoint where Mobile is running.

    APAR IY54535
    Symptoms: The Desktop for Windows login screen and the message
    posted when incorrectly exiting the desktop using the "X" button are
    in English even though NLS support and Regional settings are set to
    French (Canada).  Setting the Regional settings to French (France)
    changes to French, but the locale is incorrect.

    Additional Information: The fix this APAR requires that the DSWIN
    images in the DESKTOP subdirectory be installed.

    APAR IY54914
    Symptoms: The SIS Client GUI does not start when the "Perform local
    hostname lookup for IOM connections" (set_iom_by_name) oserv option
    is set to TRUE. A java exception is returned when attempting to open
    the SIS Client GUI.

    Additional Information: The fix for this APAR requires that the JCF
    images in the JAVA/JCF411 subdirectory be installed.

  Fixes from 4.1.1-TMF-0006:

    APAR IY34400.2
    Symptoms: Extend the fix for APAR IY34400 to correct a problem on
    HP-UX with the path to xdpyinfo since xdpyinfo is not located at the
    default location.

    Additional Information: The fix for this APAR requires that the
    images in the 411TMF11 directory be installed.

    APAR IY42343
    Symptoms: When submitting a plan using the command "wsubpln -f
    &lt;file&gt;", one of tables (ACT_PARAMETER) can run out of space. A
    successful submission message is received, but the processing
    immediately fails since some mandatory parameters are not written in
    the database. The submission should be stopped with an exception
    message in this situation.

    Additional Information: The fix for this APAR will require an APM
    patch in addition to the fix in this patch. The fix for this defect
    requires that the JRIM images in the JAVA/JRIM411 subdirectory be
    installed. See the "Database Changes and Special Considerations"
    section below for more information about the installation of
    JRIM411.

    APAR IY44586
    Symptoms: A java exception is reported in an Mdist2 GUI console
    pop-up when checking the progress of an Inventory scan.

    Additional Information: The fix for this APAR requires that the
    images in the 411MD202 subdirectory be installed.

    APAR IY49942
    Symptoms: Running a task that produces a large amount of output to
    the screen can cause an error similar to "oserv generic (FRWSL0024E)
    error..." and the task will fail.

    Additional Information: The fix for IY52858 requires the Dswin
    images contained the DESKTOP subdirectory as well as the Solaris
    binaries provided in 4.1.1-TMF-0007.

    APAR IY52861
    Symptoms: When an endpoint is disconnected from the network (i.e.,
    unplugged) and the Tivoli Mobile Console is started, it can take a
    long time (about a minute) to come up.

    Additional Information: The fix for this APAR requires that the
    Mobile images in the MOBILE subdirectory be installed.  It is
    also recommended that endpoint patch 4.1.1-LCF-0004 be installed on
    the endpoint where Mobile is running.

    APAR IY52858
    Symptoms: After connecting to a TMR from a Windows desktop,
    selecting a task with a DBCS name, and executing it from the popup
    window, the "Task Window" that is displayed in the popup window
    after executing the task shows a garbled DBCS task name.  Executing
    the task with "Exec &amp; Close" button produces an error popup similar
    to "FRWTE0004E 2004/01/21 14:18:21 (4): Resource `?' not found".

    Additional Information: The fix for IY52858 requires the Dswin
    images contained in the DESKTOP subdirectory as well as the Solaris
    binaries provided in 4.1.1-TMF-0007.  The fix for IY52858 also
    requires that Dswin be invoked with a new command line argument,
    utf8.  Thus, to use the fix for IY52858 after applying
    4.1.1-TMF-0007 and this patch, run tivoli.exe with -utf8 option. For
    example:

      tivoli.exe -port 1900 -utf8

Architecture(s):

    Solaris, AIX, HPUX, Windows 2000, NetWare, OS/2, Linux

Patches superseded by this patch:

    4.1.1-TMF-0006

Dependencies:

    TMF_4.1.1

Database Changes and Special Considerations:

    1) This version of the Tivoli Desktop for Windows (DSWIN) in this
    patch should be installed by running the setup command found in the
    411TMF11/DESKTOP subdirectory for your particular operating system.
    This patch contains a version of DSWIN that is different from the
    version shipped in earlier patches.

    2) The version of Mobile in this patch should be installed by
    running the setup.exe command found in the 411TMF11/MOBILE
    subdirectory. This setup.exe file can be used to upgrade Mobile or
    can be used for a fresh install on a system where Mobile was not
    previously installed.  Note that the Mobile provided in this patch
    is different from the Mobile in earlier patches. It is recommended
    that endpoint patch 4.1.1-LCF-0004 (or a later endpoint patch) be
    installed on the endpoint where Mobile is running.

    The installation process may uninstall an existing Mobile before
    installing the Mobile in this patch, which can result in the loss of
    configuration information. Thus, prior to the Mobile installation,
    the following files should be saved, if configuration information
    needs to be preserved:

       %LCF_DATDIR%\Mobile.cfg
       %LCF_DATDIR%\Mobile\mobileHistory.cfg
       %LCF_DATDIR%\Mobile\tableState.cfg

    3) This patch contains a new version of JRIM that can be installed
    from the 411TMF11/JAVA/JRIM411 subdirectory. (The JCF images included
    with this patch are a prerequisite for these JRIM images. Thus, if
    the JRIM in this patch is to be installed, then JCF must also be
    installed.)

    Note: This version of JRIM is installed as a product, not as a
    patch. If the JRIM 4.1.1 product is already installed, you must
    uninstall it before installing the JRIM 4.1.1 product contained in
    this patch.  The JRIM 4.1.1 product can be uninstalled in the
    following manner:

      wuninst JRIM411

    For more information and options on the wuninst command, please view
    the wuninst man pages.  After uninstalling the older JRIM 4.1.1
    product, you can follow normal product installation procedures to
    install the JRIM 4.1.1 product contained in this patch. 

    4) The version of JCF provided in the 411TMF11/JAVA/JCF411
    subdirectory is a new version that can be installed using the Tivoli
    GUI install mechanism. These JCF images are a prerequisite for the
    JRIM images. Thus, if JRIM is to be installed, then JCF must also be
    installed.

    5) The installation image for APARs IY39616 and IY44586 is contained
    in subdirectory 411TMF11/411MD202.  The new mdist2gui.jar in this
    directory replaces the mdist2gui.jar provided in 4.1.1-TMF-0006.  The
    prior installation of the MDist2 GUI is the only prerequisite for the
    installation of 411TMF11/411MD202.

    6) This patch contains a new version of the InstallShield images for
    NetWare gateways that can be installed from the 411TMF11/NWGW
    subdirectory.

Files Replaced by this Patch (for all supported values of INTERP):

    $BINDIR/TMF/LCF/MDist2GUI.sh

    mdist2gui.jar file in 411TMF11/41MD202.
    jrim.jar file in 411TMF11/JAVA/JRIM411.
    Setup.exe binaries for Mobile installation in 411TMF11/MOBILE.

    The cdrom image for this patch
    The image report for this patch

Applying the Patch:    

    1)  Extract the patch:

        On a Unix system:
        
        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
        of this release note, assume that the symbol $PATCH points to
        this directory.

        # cd $PATCH
        # tar xvf 4.1.1-TMF-0011.tar

        On a Windows 2000 system:

        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
        of this release note, assume that the symbol %PATCH% points to
        this directory. 

        &gt; %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env
        &gt; X:              
          ^-- 'X' is drive letter where %PATCH% is found
        &gt; cd %PATCH%
        &gt; tar xvf 4.1.1-TMF-0011.tar

        NOTE:  If you are extracting the tar image on a Windows 2000
        system, you will find an executable for tar in the TME
        installation on Windows 2000 under bin/w32-ix86/tools/tar.exe.
