Enhanced Pattern Modules
RFE ref. | Product | Enhancement | SI Key Change | Product Page |
---|---|---|---|---|
QM001689548 | BMC Remedy Action Request System | Server pattern enhanced to take into account more than the default configuration file when creating a relationship with the database server SI. Package and file versioning optimized. Mid-Tier pattern has had a minor improvement made to the method used to parse the related server names. | Y | |
N/A | IBM Tivoli Data Warehouse | Proxy Agent pattern enhanced to add relationship link to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. New pattern (Summarization and Pruning Agent) added to the module. A pattern that creates an IBM Tivoli Data Warehouse 2nd order SI, grouping the components of the product has been added to the module. | Y | |
N/A | IBM Tivoli Directory Server | The pattern enhanced to obtain and store the directory server name within the Software Instance | N | |
N/A | IBM Tivoli Monitoring | IBM Tivoli Monitoring Enterprise Monitoring Server pattern enhanced to obtain the server name and port and store these as attributes to the SI. The key for the SI model changed based on new research. IBM Tivoli Monitoring Enterprise Portal Server pattern enhanced to obtain the port and store it as attribute of the SI. Furthermore, pattern now creates a relationship with the related Tivoli Monitoring Server SIs. New pattern (IBM Tivoli Monitoring Enterprise Portal Client) added to the module. New pattern (IBM Tivoli CAM for Internet Service Monitoring Agent) added to the module. | Y | |
N/A | IBM Lotus Forms Server - Webform Server | Webform Server Translator pattern enhanced by adding the 'install_root' attribute to the SI so it can be leveraged by other patterns of the same suite. | N | |
N/A | Oracle Database Installed Options | Pattern configuration updated to add an additional Oracle option to the default list that is searched through as a result of an SQL query. Furthermore, pattern code enhanced to ensure that the list of Oracle options is up to date on every scan, i.e. the Detail nodes holding this information are managed on every scan. | Y | |
N/A | Oracle RAC | A new pattern (Oracle RAC Global Enqueue Manager) has been added to the module | N | |
N/A | Sterling Commerce Control Center | A new pattern (Sterling Commerce Control Center Agent) has been added to the module | N |
Bugs Fixed
The following bugs have been fixed in BMC Atrium Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2011-Apr-2
Case No | Defect No | Details | Product Page |
---|---|---|---|
ISS03711623 | QM001693872 | Problem: SAP TREX incorrectly identified as SAP Application Server Solution: SAP Application Server pattern updated to prevent incorrect identification of SAP TREX | |
ISS03743113 | QM001700365 | Problem: In certain cases, the Lotus Domino Server pattern is incorrectly parsing the configuration file 'install.dat' while trying to obtain information about the product Solution: Pattern updated to improve the parsing mechanism | |
ISS03751232 | QM001700832 | Problem: BMC BladeLogic Server Automation RCSD Agent patter has an incorrect process trigger for the product running on the UNIX platforms Solution: Pattern updated with the correct trigger | |
ISS03755457\\ISS03754520 | QM001701464 | Problem: BMC Performance Manager pattern will exit with an ECA Engine error if the version attribute of BMC Patrol Agent SI that is its trigger is not present in its version mapping table Solution: Pattern updated - version mapping table now contains a default value | |
ISS03757676\\ISS03751160 | QM001702532 | Problem: If list of applications installed obtained via an SQL query, the Remedy AR System pattern would exit with an ECA Engine error due to an incorrectly initialized hash table. Solution: Code fix. | |
ISS03749178 | QM001702549 | Problem: Apache Webserver pattern will not create inference relationship to all associated processes unless it creates an SI which contains a specific instance key (as opposed to a group key) Solution: Pattern updated - inference relationship now always created | |
N/A | DE60648 | Patterns in these modules updated with code to manage SI lifecycle correctly | |
N/A | Zilla #14433 | Integration Server pattern updated with a fix to the mechanism parsing the package list (versioning) | |
ISS03768683 | QM001705152 | Problem: A regular expression in the Apache Derby pattern is inefficient and can in certain scenarios take a very long time to evaluate, causing the discovery rate to decrease significantly and the ADDM UI to become unresponsive Solution: Code fix. The regular expression has been replaced. |
