Vendor | Product | Enhancement | SI Key Change | Pattern Module |
---|---|---|---|---|
BEA | WebLogic Application Server | Pattern enhanced to determine whether the discovered Application Server is an administration server, and if it is to obtain JMX port information (can be used for deeper J2EE discovery in the future). JMX port information added as an attribute to the SI | N | |
BMC | BladeLogic Client Automation | BladeLogic Client Automation Tuner Pattern enhanced to ensure that the SI type of the product is set to 'BMC Configuration Management Tuner' if the version of the product is 7.2 or below. Additionally, the pattern enhanced to obtain more configuration information | Y | |
IBM | WebSphere Application Server | Application Server, Node Agent and Deployment Manager patterns enhanced to obtain JMX port information (can be used for deeper J2EE discovery in the future). JMX port information added as an attribute to the SI. Additionally, the longest component of the SI key for each of these patterns is now hashed using MD5 sum to ensure that the overall length is less than 200 characters to prevent issues with export to external databases | Y | |
Oracle | RDBMS | Oracle Database Server pattern enhanced by an addition of another method of retrieving ORACLE_HOME (required for detailed modelling of the product) | N | |
SAP (Business Objects) | BusinessObjects Enterprise | An additional pattern - BusinessObjects Enterprise Designer added to the existing pattern module | N |
The following bugs have been fixed in BMC Atrium Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2010-Mar-1
Case No | Defect No | Details | Pattern Module |
---|---|---|---|
N/A | 11933 | Problem: Most patterns that model clusters needed to have one of the attributes updated to conform to Taxonomy changes made in ADDM 8.0 and allow automatic display of that attribute ('id' - cluster ID) Solution: The following patterns were updated: Citrix Presentation Server HP ServiceGuard IBM HACMP Microsoft Cluster Server Oracle Clusterware Sun Cluster | Citrix.PresentationServer |
22743 | 12610 | Problem: An OEM release of Acresso FlexNet Publisher License Server Manager (ex-FlexLM) was not being identified as such. Sybase license this product and call it: Sybase SySAM License Manager Solution: Acresso FlexNet Publisher License Server Manager pattern updated to ensure that if Sybase SySAM License Manager is found, a correct SI type is used | |
23345 | 12821 | Problem: A number of patterns can create an SI key that is longer than 200 characters which causes issues with export of data to certain systems (some databases and to CMDB) Solution: The longest component of the SI key in each of these patterns has had an MD5 hash applied to it to generate a much shorter string to ensure overall SI key length is below 200 characters. | Acresso.FLEXnetPublisher |
N/A | 12956 | Problem: One of the runCommand() calls in BMC Impact Manager pattern may not work correctly on certain UNIX platforms due to the assumptions about the login shell Solution: The runCommand() call in the pattern modified to work with various UNIX shells | |
N/A | 12962 | Problem: SI type was incomplete in the patterns within the BMC ADDM (Legacy) pattern module. The publisher of the product was not included. Solution: Patterns updated to include publisher information. | |
ISS03565916 | 12977 | Problem: SI key length produced by the Oracle.PeopleSoft.PIA WebServer can exceed 200 characters in length which causes issues with export of data to certain systems (some databases and to CMDB) Solution: The longest component of the SI key in this pattern has had an MD5 hash applied to it to generate a much shorter string to ensure overall SI key length is below 200 characters. | |
N/A | 12985 | Problem: The BAI key that models the Tideway Foundation / BMC ADDM 8.x product is created in such a way that if the product is upgraded and then the host scanned, a new BAI is created instead of the BAI just having its version attributes updated Solution: BAI pattern updated to create a BAI key that is not affected by version changes | |
N/A | 12992 | Problem: BMC BladeLogic Client Automation pattern could exit with an ECA Engine error if the configuration file containing version information could not be accessed or parsed Solution: Error handling improved | |
ISS03570358 | 12996 | Problem: Sophos AV (Unix) pattern could exit with an ECA Engine error if the configuration file containing version information could not be accessed Solution: Error handling improved | |
N/A | 12998 | Problem: BMC Remedy AR System second-order SI pattern would if list of applications installed was obtained via a database query, exit with an ECA Engine error due to an incorrectly initialized list Solution: Pattern updated with correct initialization code | |
N/A | 13019 | Problem: In cases where product minor version of IIS is obtained via registry query in Service/Webserver patterns and equals to 0, the minor version isn't going to be added to full product version Solution: Code fix to ensure that minor version if obtained is always added to the full product version | |
N/A | 13020 | Problem: Oracle Workflow pattern can exit with an ECA Engine error when scanning UNIX hosts if the active command that determines whether the product is installed fails due to file access restrictions Solution: Error handling improved |
