If you have installed interim fix 7 or interim fix 12, it is recommended that you uninstall these before interim fix 13 is installed. 1. Description This interim fix was created to solve the following Authorized Program Analysis Reports (APARs): The solution to the following APAR is new to Interim Fix 13: * APAR - IZ43332: When using multiple identifiers to do Account Code Conversion in either the ACCT or Integrator programs, the job file is observed to hang. * APAR - IZ43292: When collecting usage data from VMWare Virtual Centre/ ESX, a failure in collecting that data can occur with certain hierarchical structure configurations in Virtual Center/ ESX. The solutions to the following APAR have been rolled up from Fix 12: * APAR - IZ41929: When running the Bill Program on a date that is a user Calendar Close Date, the calculated Accounting Date is null. The solutions to the following APAR have been rolled up from Interim Fix 7: * APAR - IZ34261: If the Input file of the Bill step is bigger than 64 megabytes, an out of memory exception will occur during the sorting of records. This error was found while processing a large amount of data. The Acct step output a 65 mb file that was then processed by the Bill step. By default the Bill step sorts the data. The amount of data needed for the sorting was not assessed correctly, which caused the out of memory exception. * APAR - IZ32912: The TUAM server may not recognize the timezone listed in the advanced accounting log. The result of this being, data time stamps are incorrectly interpreted. * APAR - IZ33780: The SAP Collector incurs a java.lang.NullPointerException when parsing the input file. * APAR - IZ31966: When attempting a two-level lookup with CreateIdentifierFromTable, the stage only matches against the first identifier value, disregarding the second identifier value in the table. 2. Prerequisites You must be running TUAM 7.1.1. If you have installed Interim Fix 7, or Interim Fix 12, it is recommended that you uninstall these before Interim Fix 13 is installed. 3. Installation Instructions How to install the patch For Windows: 1. Extract the zip file to a temporary directory. 2. Open a command line window. 3. Use the "cd" command to change to the temporary directory. 4. Type "applyFix.bat" into the command line window. (If eWAS web server security is enabled, append the username and password for eWAS to the script execution command, i.e., type "applyFix.bat username password") For Linux, Unix: 1. Extract the tar file to a temporary directory. 2. Open a shell. 3. Use the "cd" command to change to the temporary directory. 3. Type "chmod u+x applyFix.sh" in the shell. This will change the rights to applyFix.sh. 4. Type "./applyFix.sh" into the shell. (If eWAS web server security is enabled, append the username and password for eWAS to the script execution command, i.e., type "./applyFix.sh username password") How to uninstall the patch For Windows: 1. Open a command line window. 2. Use the "cd" command to change to the directory containing the extracted zip file. 3. Type "undoFix.bat" into the command line window. (If eWAS web server security is enabled, append the username and password for eWAS to the script execution command, i.e., type "undoFix.bat username password") For Linux, Unix: 1. Open a shell. 2. Use the "cd" command to change to the directory containing the extracted tar file. 3. Type "chmod u+x undoFix.sh" into the shell. This will change the rights to undoFix.sh. 4. Type ./undoFix.sh into the shell. (If eWAS web server security is enabled, append the username and password for eWAS to the script execution command, i.e., type "./undoFix.sh username password") NOTE: The fix will stop the eWAS web server, copy the updated program files, and then restart the web server. If security is turned on for the web server, you may be prompted for a user name and password when the update attempts to stop the web server.
