Enhanced Pattern Modules
RFE ref. | Product | Enhancement | SI Key Change | Product Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
QM001764980 | Red Hat JBoss Application Server | Pattern enhanced to set edition of the product | N | |
QM001790255 | Software Support Details | Software Support Details for various products updated | N/A | |
QM001801575 | Hardware Reference Data | Hardware Reference Data for certain Fujitsu Prime Power models added | N/A | |
QM001801978 | IBM WebSphere Business Monitor | IBM WebSphere Business Monitor pattern improved through addition of file versioning method as the primary versioning method, replacing active versioning which is disabled by default as the command ADDM runs on the host can cause a spike in CPU usage. Model of the pattern also updated to align it closer to the WebSphere Application Server installation the product depends on. | Y | |
QM001803290 | EMC Documentum | EMC Documentum pattern trigger updated to enable discovery of later versions of the product | N | |
QM001803486 | Red Hat KVM | Pattern enhanced with update to package versioning and improvement for identification of running VMs | N | |
ISS04192183 | BMC Remedy AR System | BMC Remedy AR System pattern updated to use improved common functions that enable it to more frequently identify relationship between Remedy AR Server and the database it is related to | N | |
#TKU-1951 | Oracle Real Application Clusters | The pattern trigger has been made more efficient. | N | |
#TKU-1961 | Oracle RDBMS | Extended discovery pattern split into several patterns to reduce memory usage | N/A | |
#TKU-1962 | Microsoft SQL Server | Extended discovery pattern split into several patterns to reduce memory usage | N/A | |

Case No | Defect No | Details | Product Page |
|---|---|---|---|
ISS04158948 | QM001803685 | Problem: IntegrationServer pattern is searching for installed packages (which are modelled as Detail nodes) in incorrect location. Solution: Code fix. Pattern updated with correct path location. | |
ISS04201457 | QM001806318 | Duplicate Support Details data for McAfee Common Management Agent removed | |
- | #TKU-1922 | The pattern code that creates Detail nodes now also maps version from the SI to the created Detail nodes. | |
- | #TKU-1925 | Problem: Oracle WebCenter Interaction pattern can in certain circumstances fail to set the version of the product even though it has been obtained Solution: Code fix. | |
- | #TKU-1966\\ #TKU-1967 | Problem: IBM WebSphere MQ Workflow pattern uses outdated search queries (searching for attributes no longer present) when attempting to relate the created SI with other SIs Solution: Code fix. Search queries updated to reflect changes in related patterns. | |
- | #TKU-1968 | Problem: Patterns in IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer module can exit with an ECA error in certain cases Solution: Code fix. | |
- | #TKU-1969 | Minor update to the code in the DataStore pattern to improve accuracy of identification of the product | |
