    Bugs Fixed

    The following bugs have been fixed in BMC Atrium Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2010-Jan-1

    Case No Defect No Details Pattern Module
    N/A 12749 Problem: 'revision' attribute in the DB2 Server pattern was being set even if revision of the product was '0'. Solution: 'revision' attribute now set to empty string if revision is '0'.

    IBM.DB2.RDBMS

    23264 12792 Microsoft SQL Server versions pertaining to 2008 SP1 now have mapping entries from internal product version ('version' attribute) to marketing version ('product_version' attribute)

    Microsoft.SQLServer

    ISS03547781 12823 Problem: Oracle WorkFlow pattern was exiting with an ECA Engine error due to an erroneous function call argument in discovery.runCommand() call. This had no effect on the scanned hosts but did lead to Oracle Workflow Software Instances not being created. Solution: Code fix - correct arguments passed to the discovery.runCommand() function

    Oracle.Workflow

    23383 12836 Incorrect mapping between SUPPORTDETAIL pattern for CA AutoSys Workload Automation Server and the actual SI (old SI type used in the mapping) corrected N/A

    Extended Data Pack

    Product Lifecycle Patterns

    You can use Tideway Foundation / BMC Atrium Discovery 8.x and OS / Software product lifecycle data to:

    • Identify operating systems and software that are exposed to security / stability risks as they are no longer supported by patch updates
    • Identify operating systems and software that you may may be paying a premium maintenance subscription for
    • Identify operating systems and software that are no longer shipping so may increase costs and risks associated with variance
