IJ38309: SETAGENTCONNECTION DOESN'T CHANGE SERVER VALUE ON WINDOWS

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 12 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0012)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Executing the command setagentconnection against a Windows
  target system does not change the TEMS configuration setting if
  SERVER is the only specified parameter value.    As such, the
  issuing the command
  
  opt/IBM/ITM/tacmd setagentconnection -n Primary:BURGLARS2:NT -t
  nt -p SERVER=solans1
  
  does not change the configuration of the target system
  Primary:BURGLARS2:NT to point to the SERVER named solans1.
  

Local fix

• Specify the fully qualified TEMS parameter value, not just the
  name the value for SERVER,  together with the other values will
  be  configured successfully.   Here's is an example
  
  opt/IBM/ITM/tacmd setagentconnection -n Primary:BURGLARS2:NT -t
  nt -p SERVER=solans1   PROTOCOL=IP_PIPE   IP_PIPE_PORT=1918
  

Problem summary

• setagentconnection does not configure the SERVER value for
  Windows.
  
  
  Specifying only the SERVER parameter value for the
  setagentconnection command to configure Agents on a Windows
  system does not work.
  

Problem conclusion

• Correctly adjust the index into the buffer holding the new
  configuration value to determine if a configuration value was
  sent by the user.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
  
     | service pack | 6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0012
  

Temporary fix

• Specify the fully qualified parameter list including SERVER,
  PROTOCOL and PORT values.
