Problem summary
Display Item with value of -1 displays in Tivoli Enterprise Portal client as 4294967295. In the case of a situation definition that includes a Display Item, where said Display Item is a 4 byte integer type containing a negative value, the Display Item value will be incorrect in the Situation Event Console and the portal client Message Log; it will also be incorrect in the message recorded in the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server Operation (MSG2) log. This incorrect Display Item value only manifests on some operating system platforms, notably on Linux 64 bit platform. Note, this defect only affects Display Item form of a monitored attribute; it does not affect the attribute's value in context of situation's formula (predicate) evaluation
Problem conclusion
Changes were made to the logic to correctly convert negative valued Display Item. The fix for this APAR is included in the following maintenance vehicle: | fix pack | 6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0006 Note: Search the IBM technical support web site for maintenance package availability.
