APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In SSM 4.0, the patch MIB is empty showing no products or patches installed. This has been verified with Fix Pack 7 and 8.
Local fix
Create a text file called "miapatches.hive" in Windows\System32, containing one line: IBM Tivoli Netcool/SSM=C:\path\to\ssm\installation\.manifest.hive or /etc/miapatches.hive on Unix/Linux: IBM Tivoli Netcool/SSM=/path/to/ssm/installation/.manifest.hive
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of the Patch MIB in SSM 4.0 **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Patch MIB is empty - showing no products or patches installed. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Upgrade to Fix Pack 9 for SSM 4.0. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Now even if no "miapatches.hive" exists, the patch subagent will read it's own .manifest.hive locally. This guarantees that at the very least, the local agent's patches will always be listed in the patch MIB. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 4.0.0-TIV-SSM-FP0009
