Defects Resolved
The following defects have been fixed in BMC Atrium Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2012-Jul-1
Case No | Defect No | Details | Product Page |
|---|---|---|---|
ISS03963211 | QM001758265 | Problem: In certain cases the BMC Patrol Agent pattern will not take into account user configured option indicating the paths to use when attempting to obtain version of the product Solution: Code fix. | |
ISS03973228 | QM001758543 | Problem: Sybase ASE pattern can incorrectly assume that Sybase ASE Cluster Edition is running and stop further exection due to the incorrect parsing of command-line arguments Solution: Code fix. Pattern regular expression used to parse command-line arguments (in order to detect ASE Cluster Edition) improved | |
ISS03973228 | QM001758551 | Problem: Sybase ASE patterns can incorrectly parse command-line arguments when attempting to extract the server name, leading to populating the wrong value in the 'instance' attribute of the respective SI Solution: Code fix. Pattern regular expression used to parse command-line arguments improved | |
ISS03982417\\ | QM001761921 | Problem: IBM DB2 Connect Server pattern can exit with an ECA Engine error while verifying installation of the product on the host being scanned Solution: Code fix. | |
- | #15454 | Oracle (BEA) WebLogic Application Server pattern updated to change the SI type based on the version of the product. | |
- | #15794 | Problem: BMC Atrium Discovery pattern should not model a single instance of BMC Atrium Discovery as a BAI Solution: Pattern module updated to remove the pattern that creates the BAI | |
- | #16077 | Problem: Criteria for creation of IBM Rational Team Concert SI are too weak Solution: Pattern updated with improved algorithm to confirm that the product is actually present on the host | |
- | #16254 | Problem: BMC BladeLogic Client Automation pattern can exit with an ECA Engine error due to incorrect handling of a result coming from a common library function used to return related SIs Solution: Code fix. | |
- | #16281 | Problem: Location of the default profile file as used by patterns in the SAP module can be incorrectly obtained leading to failure to read this file Solution: Code fix. | |
- | #16284 | Problem: There is an unnecessary removal block in HP OpenViewe Performance Insight pattern Solution: Code removed from the pattern | |
- | #16285 | Problem: Invalid (wrong spelling) relationship used in a search expression in MetricsManagerApplication pattern of IBM Cognos BI Metrics Server pattern module Solution: Code fix. | |
- | #16286 | Problem: Invalid (wrong spelling) relationship used in a search expression in BIApplication pattern of IBM Cognos Business Intelligence pattern Solution: Code fix. |
