Error description
Environment: ITM 6.2 FP1 and higher One or more RTEMS with agents connected TADDM Problem Description: ITM DLA utility does not collect all attributes from agents connected to a remote TEMS. An example would be the MAC address of the network adapter on the system. The query sent by the DLA returns zero rows. Detailed Recreation Procedure: - Set up required environment. TADDM not required; DLA trace and resulting XML file can be used to recreate/verify. - Run the ITM DLA utility Related Files and Output: DLA output file (CNPS\tmsdla\tmsdla_xxx.xml by default) DLA log file Approver: RP
Local fix
Problem summary
No data returned from agents connected to remote TEMS. The ITM DLA utility uses XML files supplied by the application seed data to generate queries that obtain information directly from the agent. These queries are sent to the hub using the SQL1 service provided by TEPS. In order to obtain data from agents connected to a remote TEMS, an AT() clause must be specified in the SQL request. The ITM DLA utility does not add an AT() clause to it's queries, and does not provide a way for the applications to supply one. So only queries to agents attached to the hub will return data.
Problem conclusion
A new attribute named "at" was added that can be used by application developers to specify an AT() clause and value. Also, a new substitution variable named "THRUNODE" was added that can be used to select the thrunode value obtained from the node status table. A change is also required for each supported application to include the new "at" attribute in their tmsdla XML file. These changes are not part of this APAR, and will be delivered in an application support fix pack. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 6.2.0-TIV-ITM-FP0003
