Bugs Fixed
The following bugs have been fixed in Tideway Knowledge Update 2008-Sep-1.
Case No | Defect No | Details | Pattern Module |
|---|---|---|---|
13077 | 10515 | *Problem:*Sybase ASE Database Server pattern in Sybase ASE module may not trigger in situations where '-e' command-line argument is not present and '-s' command-line argument is followed by a space before the server name. Resolution: Pattern updated in TKU-2008-Sep-1. The pattern trigger regex now handles the situation where there is no whitespace between the '-s' attribute and the server instance name. Apart from the trigger, the Simple Identifier has been updated as well as the regular expression that extracts the Database Server instance name. | |
13288 | 10542 | *Problem:*Microsoft SQL Server pattern does not have version mapping for certain builds of SQL Server. Resolution: Pattern updated in TKU-2008-Sep-1. Mapping table for versions updated with additional long version numbers. | |
N/A | 10448 | *Problem:*Java VM pattern will sometimes get the version incorrect when the following
If the publisher is 'IBM' the output needs to be parsed slightly differently, but a generic regular expression match is used which picks up the version incorrectly. Resolution: Pattern updated in TKU-2008-Sep-1. Parsing of output of 'java -fullversion' expects at least major.minor version to be returned. |

Notes
If you have chosen not to delete the Software Instances created using a previous TKU, for any pattern where the SI key has changed, any host where the above software instances were created will have another set of software instances created following installation of a newer TKU and re-scan. The software instances created by the previous TKU patterns will disappear once they have aged out (see Tideway Foundation documentation for description of SI aging).
