Closed as program error.
Error description
Expand on the APAR abstract since abstract length is limited. Indicate expected results and actual observed results. Provide as much detail as needed rather than referencing the PMR. Explain what activity was taken that caused the observed action (ie: change in a variable, entry in log or trace files, pop-up, etc.) Detailed Recreation Procedure: 1. tacmd editsit and modified the event destination 2. view the sit after saving and you will see - the display name and persistent field gets cleared out Specifically, it is via the TEP view in Situation Editor that one will see that Display Item and Situation Persistence values are reset to their respective default values.

Problem summary
Given a situation for which user has previously defined values for any of SITFINFO Name/Value pairs, these prior Name/Value pairs will be reset to default values when issuing tacmd editsit. The Name of the SITINFO Name/Value pairs at risk are DISPLAY ITEM, SIT PERSISTENCE, TEC Severity, TEC Forward and TEC Destination. For example, if TSITDESC table's SITINFO column contains: COUNT=3;ATOM=KDYDYST.TARGETMSN;SEV=Critical;TFWD=N and user enters per tacmd editsit: -p SITINFO="SEV=Warning;TFWD=Y;TDST=100" then resultant value stored in SITNFO columns of TSITDESC table will be SEV=Warning;TFWD=Y;TDST=100 resulting in loss of COUNT and ATOM values, which correspond to SIT PERSISTNENCE and DISPLAY ITEM.
Problem conclusion
Problem Conclusion: Logic was implemented so that Name/Value pairs enter per CLI are used to update, rather than replace, SITINFO in TSITDESC, preserving existing Name/Value pairs that are not same Name(s) as those entered per CLI. So for the above example, the corrected results stored in SITINFO will be COUNT=3;ATOM=KDYDYST.TARGETMSN;SEV=Warning;TFWD=Y;TDST=100 The fix for this APAR is included in the following maintenance vehicle: | fix pack | 6.2.1-TIV-ITM-FP0002 | fix pack | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0002 Note: Search the IBM Technical support web site for maintenance package availability
