IBM WebSphere Application Server - Change History

See updates in 2009-2010 years

TKU August 2009

The following improvements were made:

  • Extended support for the Network Deployment Edition to map interdependencies among cells, nodes, and servers. These 3 elements are mapped through client-server relationships.
  • Added a regular expression method to extract edition and version.
  • (Windows) Added support for the Node Agent and Deployment Manager.

TKU March 2010

Updated the pattern to populate JMX port information attributes that can be used for deep discovery of WebSphere instances.

TKU July 2010

Added a check of an extra file during active versioning.

TKU October 2010

Added the profile_dir attribute to the Software Instance.

See updates in 2011-2013 years

TKU September 2011

Improved the method for finding the versioning file. If the command does not work, the pattern uses the previous method of iterating through the list of known editions.

TKU October 2011

The following improvements were made:

  • Added extra known versions.
  • Added an extra versioning method that uses the versionInfo script on Windows and UNIX for extracting version and edition.
  • Improved the data store search calls made in the IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment pattern module.

TKU January 2012

The following improvements were made:

  • Improved the grep expression for the listing .product file, which prevents bogus entries (QM001731481).
  • Added a new entry to the list of package expressions to obtain a version correctly (QM001733251).
  • Improved the regular expression that obtains the installation root (#15290).

TKU December 2012

A minor update to verify that the mapping of certain attributes to Atrium CMDB BMC_Product CI matches Atrium Product Catalog Data (as published by BMC).

TKU March 2013

Fixed the path to the product file on the Windows platform.

TKU August 2013

Updated the Extended discovery source_name regex to prevent an ECA error.

TKU September 2013

Added an alternative approach for obtaining a server name, cell name, and node name to handle the truncation of trigger process arguments (QM001800837). This approach is feasible if the customer sets the custom property "com.ibm.websphere.management.launcher.options=displayServerInFront" at the cell scope.

TKU December 2013

The following improvements were made:

  • Resolved an issue with missing additional attributes on the software instance.
  • Enabled running of the ls command as a privileged user (if configured in the UNIX/Linux platform scripts through PRIV_LS) when determining an edition.
