Defects Resolved
The following defects have been fixed in BMC Atrium Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2014-Jun-1
Defect No | Details | Product Page |
|---|---|---|
QM001829318 | Problem: Extended Discovery pattern had trouble parsing JDBC URL Solution: Pool database resource modeling updated | |
QM001848072 | Problem: In an active command, the pattern failed to detect a 'cannot open' message being returned Solution: The pattern now correctly handles an active command when such a message is returned | |
QM001848793 | Problem: Extended pattern module was causing high memory consumption and potential ECA error. Solution: Performance addressed in extended pattern module. | |
QM001850538 | Problem:Discovery NIC condition pattern does not include related Network Interface information. Solution: Pattern updated | |
ISS04304527 | Problem: Pattern may sometimes set the SI's edition incorrectly to 'Community' Solution: The method for obtaining the edition has been updated | |
TKU-2249 | Problem: Pattern can potentially give ECA Error Solution: Corrected potential ECA error where port is missing from scheduler entry | |
TKU-2263 | Problem: package versioning method was always performed, even if version already known Solution: Pattern no longer always performs package versioning method | |
TKU-2267 | Problem: Pattern failed to check that servicepack_version had a value Solution: Now checks that servicepack_version has a value | |
TKU-2269 | Problem: Pattern can potentially give ECA error during active command execution Solution: Pattern updated to prevent the possibility of ECA error | |
TKU-2274 | Problem: Pattern can potentially give ECA error in path versioning Solution: Pattern updated to prevent the possibility of ECA error | |
TKU-2280 | Problem: 'lsmod |grep vxfs' active command could potentially fail with 'NoAccessMethod' Solution: pattern now has better handling of the active command. | |
TKU-2288 | Problem: ADDM proxy pattern set proxy_name attribute instead of instance Solution: proxy_name attribute changed to instance | |
TKU-2289 | Problem: MongoDB name duplicated in SI's type and name attributes due to being same for vendor and product Solution: MongoDB now only mentioned once in SI's type and name attributes. | |
TKU-2290 | Problem:NetworkDevice partition_id is not currently synchronized to CMDB |
