Error description
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: All customer modifications to baroc and/or map files are lost when application support for any component is applied to the TEMS. Running the following command will cause all baroc and map files to be re-copied rather than just the k<PP>.baroc and k<PP>.map files $ itmcmd support -t <TEMSNAME> <PP> RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Install a TEMS at level 621 or higher. 2) Install application support to the TEMS for more than one product. 3) Apply the application support to the TEMS. 4) Modify some of the baroc files. 5) Apply application support for a product where you did not modify the baroc file. 6) Notice that all modified baroc files have reverted to their original state.
Local fix
Perform the same customizations to the files in <CANDLEHOME>/tables/cicatrsq/TECLIB as well as to the files in <CANDLEHOME>/tables/<TEMSNAME>/TECLIB In this way, when the baroc and map files are re-copied, the files will not be reverted and the customizations will not be lost. Ensure that both <CANDLEHOME>/tables/cicatrsq/TECLIB and <CANDLEHOME>/tables/<TEMSNAME>/TECLIB are backed up so that customizations can be recovered when upgrading application support for any product which has been customized.
Problem summary
The itmcmd support command updates all baroc and map files in CANDLEHOME/tables/<temsname>/TECLIB, not just those of the specified application.
Problem conclusion
Changed to update only the baroc and map files of the specified application. The fix for this APAR is included in the following maintenance vehicle: | fix pack | 6.2.1-TIV-ITM-FP0003
Temporary fix
Save a backup copy of all baroc and map file modifications in CANDLEHOME/tables/cicatrsq/TECLIB. This is the source directory from which itmcmd support copies the files.
