IJ25289: : A TEMS MAY CRASH WHEN A SITUATION IS STARTED.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 6 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0006)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Description : If a Situation includes many predicates in its
  formula that involve large attribute columns, the literal pool
  of the associated Filter Object can exceed 32k. When this
  occurs, the code attempts to shrink the pool by optimising the
  memory utilisation. In the process, the code was incorrectly
  calculating the memory required to contain the literal pool
  which resulted in a memory overlay leading to corruption and a
  subsequent access violation.
  
  Solution : The code was changed
  to correctly compute the amount of memory required to contain
  the literal pool.
