    Updates in the 2.9.00.03 patch

    Removing IP address of a availability target from event description

    If a user is monitoring the remote hosts for availability and does not want the IP address in notify event description then the user need to set newly introduced pconfig variable "/AS/EVENTSPRING/AVAILABILITY/ignoreHostIp"  with value 1. 

    By default this variable does not exist.

    Downloading the patch and installation utility

    This section contains instructions for downloading the patch from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) website. 

    1. Create a temporary directory in which to place the downloaded files.

      Note

      On Windows computers, ensure that the directory is only one level into the directory structure. The EPD package creates a directory in the temporary directory when you extract the files, and the directory that contains the installation image should not be in a directory deeper than two levels into the directory structure.

    2. Go to http://www.bmc.com/available/epd.html.
    3. Enter your user ID and password, and click Submit.
    4. On the Export Compliance and Access Terms page, provide the required information, agree to the terms of the agreements, and click Continue.
    5. If you are accessing the EPD site for the first time, create an EPD profile to specify the language(s) and platform(s) that you want to see; otherwise, skip to the next step. For more information about EPD profiles, see the Profile section of the Help page for the EPD website.
    6. Verify that the correct profile is displayed for your download purpose, and select the Product Patches tab.
    7. Expand BMC Performance Manager for Servers to show the available versions.
    8. Expand BMC Performance Manager for Servers 3.4.00 to show the available components.
    9. Expand BMC PATROL Agent 9.5.00 to show the available patches.
