---|---|---|---|---|
IV38475 | During the self-update of agents, agent custom location is ignored and the custom certificate as well as the settings of the tlmagent.ini table are lost. | The agents are updated to the custom location. The custom certificate and settings of the tlmagent.ini table are preserved. | Self-update | Interim fix 10 |
IV37952 | Incorrect measures are uploaded to the ADM.MEASURE table by agents with version lower than 7.2.2. | Correct measures are uploaded to the ADM.MEASURE table. | Server | Interim fix 10 |
IV37691 | Incorrect data that comes from the agents causes that a higher count is returned for LPAR cores than for physical cores. | Information about the number of LPAR cores and physical cores is consistent. | Server | Interim fix 10 |
IV37389 | If the System Resource Controller is not working, installation of an agent on AIX® fails. | Agent is installed on AIX regardless of whether the System Resource Controller is working or not. | Agent | Interim fix 10 |
IV36123 | If agent threads are started in a wrong order, agents are not able to properly handle the SIGPIPE signal. It causes that the process ends and the core is dumped. | The order in which agent threads are started does not impact handling of the SIGPIPE signal. | Agent | Interim fix 10 |
IV32579 | Documentation does not clearly state that setting cpu_threshold parameter causes that the execution of a scan on the agent side lengthens. | Documentation is updated with the missing information. | Online Information Center | Interim fix 9 |
IV33537 | When an agent is installed on a device that has a NIC card with at least two IP addresses, the agent might first list an address that is not the IP address that is listed in the Systems without Agents table. In such a situation the agent is not removed from the list of systems without agents. | The agent is removed from the list of systems without agents regardless of which IP address of the device is listed first. | Server | Interim fix 9 |

IV20562 | The upload function might allow for uploading scripts with malicious content without any restrictions. If such a file is uploaded, it is possible for the malicious code to be executed. | The upload function does not allow for uploading scripts with malicious content. | Server | Interim fix 8 |
IV31063 | Installation of License Metric Tool agents by using Tivoli® Configuration Manager leaves the yes process command running even after the agent is installed successfully and the process is ended manually after the installation. | The installation finishes properly. | Agent | Interim fix 8 |
IV30409 | If an invalid URL is defined or the VMware machine is incorrectly configured, the License Metric Tool server hangs when attempting to connect to the machine, even though the timeout period is correctly configured. Such attempts of connection block the timer on which the VMware Connection task is running (Timer3). If the connection takes twice the amount of time that was defined as the timeout period, the connection thread is broken and the status of the VM manager is changed to Hard timeout - suspended. This status indicates that no further attempts of connecting to the particular VM manager are made until its status is manually changed to Pending. | Invalid URL of a VMware machine does not block other VMware machines from being processed correctly. | Agent | Interim fix 8 |
IV29984 | During the installation of the interim fix, public access is granted to the ADM.MIG_INSTR and ADM.MIG_SCRIPT tables. | Public access is not granted to these tables. | Server | Interim fix 7 |
IV24904 | In the Software Catalog canonical form, the signature definition for a particular product is based on two files whose size is set to 0 bytes. License Metric Tool scanner should match the files by their names only, as it is in the case of single-file signatures. However, for the multi-file signatures, the agent retrieves the information about file size equal 0 and tries to match both the name and size of the particular file. | The scanner matches multi-file signatures with file size equal 0 only by file names. | Server | Interim fix 7 |
IV29154 | One of the steps of interim fix installation runs a query on the database that causes the installation to fail. | The interim fix installation finishes successfully. | Server | Interim fix 7 |
IV29124 | Documentation lacks information that the version of the agent cannot be higher than the version of the server even at the interim fix level. | Documentation is updated with the missing information. | Online Information Center | Interim fix 7 |
IV28621 | The package ILMT-TAD4D-agent-7.2.2-1.s390 requires /lib/ld.so.1 and this requirement cannot be provided. | The required library is included in the package. | Agent | Interim fix 7 |

IV27978 | Because of a defect in the agent installer,
the following upgrading scenarios fail.
|
The two upgrading scenarios are supported. | Agent | Interim fix 7 |
IV25637 | The following exception is written in the log
although it does not indicate any problem.
|
The exception is not logged. | Server | Interim fix 6 |
IV26311 | When an upload is rejected on the server, the server does not fill in the http response. The agent tries to parse the empty response and logs information that it could not parse the service control data. | The information that is logged clearly states the reason of the problem and thus helps in further debugging. | Server | Interim fix 6 |
IV24091 | When the server is overloaded with scan uploads,
the number of connections to the agent port on the side of the server
increases significantly.
|
The number of connections in the CLOSE_WAIT is limited. | Server | Interim fix 6 |
IV26374 | The lmtcli.sh script fails to start and the process ends. | The lmtcli.sh script runs properly. | Server | Interim fix 6 |
IV26884 | When an empty file is passed to the agtdel command, it is treated as if no file was passed and all agents with the referenced status are deleted. | When an empty file is passed to the agtdel command, no agents are deleted. | Server | Interim fix 6 |
IV20797 | The upgrade of the Common Inventory Technology scanner is not verified during the self-upgrade of License Metric Tool agents from version 7.2.1 to 7.2.2. | The upgrade of the Common Inventory Technology scanner is verified during the self-upgrade of agents from version 7.2.1 to 7.2.2. | Self-update | Interim fix 5 |

IV22830 | Software that is installed on Network File Systems (NFS) is incorrectly detected when non-file signatures are used. Moreover, the software is incorrectly counted because of the missing use signatures. | The software is correctly detected when non-file signatures are used and the software is correctly counted. | Server | Interim fix 5 |
IV24800 | A problem occurs if a single forward slash is encountered in the path where two forward slashes (//) are expected. | A single forward slash that occurs in the path is handled correctly. | Server | Interim fix 5 |
IV24985 | When agent information is filtered by the host name of a single agent, numerous duplicate blank rows are returned. Attempts of deleting any of these blank rows result in all blank rows, including the valid entry, being deleted. The problem does not occur in the TLMA database on which a single entry is returned for each agent. Both agents are virtual machines. | A single entry is returned for each agent. | Server | Interim fix 5 |
IV24950 | Software aggregation hangs with a timeout error because of locks on the database. | Software aggregation works properly. | Server | Interim fix 5 |
IV24741 | Agents respond slowly to the command-line interface commands. After installing the License Metric Tool agent for AIX PPC v7.5 on an AIX server (both AIX 6.1 and AIX 7.1), the command-line interface commands take about 40 seconds to respond. | The command-line interface commands take less time to respond. | Agent | Interim fix 5 |
IV20309 | Some processors are not correctly matched by the x86 matcher. The problem occurs because the processor name contains the space sign, hyphen, or a national language character. | Processors are correctly matched by the x86 matcher. | Server | Interim fix 4 |
IV17935 | The installed version of the Common Inventory Technology scanner is not up-to-date. | The latest version of the Common Inventory Technology scanner is installed. | Agent | Interim fix 4 |
IV15700 | Some software scans return product names that are longer then the current length of the PACKAGE_NAME column of the ADM.NATIVE_SW table (64 characters). The excessive length of product names generates exceptions during the upload and the agent cannot upload the results of the software scan. | The size of the column is increased to 255 characters to handle long product names. | Server | Interim fix 4 |
IV24201 | A local zone and global zone cannot be matched properly when the serial number that is reported by eeprom/SMBIOS on a global zone differs from the hardware serial number that is reported by sysinfo(SI_HW_SERIAL) | Serial number that is reported by eeprom/SMBIOS is handled correctly. | Server | Interim fix 4 |
IV20850 | After upgrading to License Metric Tool 7.2.2.2, incorrect values are stored in the OS_SUB_VERS column of the tlmhw.computer table. | Correct values are stored in the table. | Server | Interim fix 4 |
IV19879 | The /efs/dist/ibm/tad/722fp1/exec/ folder is read-only. However, the agent requires at least one file in the agent_base_dir location to be writable. | Even if the folder where the agent is installed is read-only, the agent works properly. | Interim fix 3 | |
IV15800 | The License Type parameter is no longer considered in the new design of importing the software catalog that was introduced in the 7.2.2 release. However, Tivoli Asset Management for IT uses this value to create reports. | The parameter is restored by adding a column in the database and ensuring that the column is correctly propagated after the catalog import. | Server | Interim fix 3 |
IV17932 | Software aggregation fails in the 7.2.2 release. The problem occurs because the adm.vm records are missing from the agents that are in the incomplete status. | Software aggregation succeeds. | Server | Interim fix 3 |
IV20907 | The monthly scheduler for the License Metric Tool agent does not work correctly. | The monthly scheduler works correctly. | Server and agent | Interim fix 3 |
IV23342 | The Component panel works slowly in License Metric Tool. | Performance of the panel is improved. | Server | Interim fix 3 |
