With TPM it is possible to import SPBs with the TCM integration, Software Package Editor or manually from the Web UI. I wanted to add another.

This short blog is related to the blog I wrote a while ago title "Upgrade from ITM6.1 FP6 to ITM6.2 may break logon through IE TEP".
I had not posted the applet.html file I'm posting herein with the original blog I wrote on the problem because IBM/Tivoli had insisted the problem was unique to the environment I was working on at the time.

One of the most convenient features of classic Tivoli event adapter is the postemsg command. Using this you can send custom events to TEC from your scripts/CLI. In ITM 6.1, there is no such equivalent command available though one can design such a solution in just three steps. This article discuss a way to setup postemsg like solution in ITM 6.x

Many a time, you might want to test if you could connect to a database or not. The simplest way is of course having a database client installed and use it. However, this method may not be possible in all cases. For example, on an ITM warehouse proxy, you'll have only Db2 JDBC type 4 drivers, (which are nothing but two files, db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar). How do you test connectivity on such systems? Here is a Jython script.

One of the sorely missed functionality of Tivoli Framework in ITM 6.x is is the remote command execution feature. Framework tasks provided this nice and useful feature, but ITM does not have any such functionality. However, in ITM 6.x, you can get this feature by using SOAP calls, but SOAP calls are not your cup of tea? Don't worry! Gbscmd has a new feature that provides way to execute remote commands using SOAP calls. This article details how to execute remote commands in ITM 6.x.

It is great that ITM 6.2 brings about some good new features. However along with the good features are some painful issues that may ruin ones fun with the product at least for some moment. Herein is one pain I and others had to endure after an upgrade from ITM6.1 FP6 to ITM6.2 some few days ago. This document hopes to help one quickly eliminate at least one of the many possible pains that come with the upgrade to ITM 6.2.

For quite a while I have always been annoyed by the search in Windows. I thought it was great that you could use the search to look for text inside a file, just like grep. Of course in usual Microsoft fashion, search all files does not mean to actually search all files.

Since PERL is a tool of choice for many of us Tivolians when it comes to automations and integrating systems with Tivoli products, I thought it could be of help to others to throw out a few gotchas I've encountered programming Perl threads. Please note that I'm not referring to "forking".

UPDATE - 11/13 This comes up every now and then - "I made a change to the TEC configuration on HUB TEMS and now I have to restart". This SOAP call forces a reload of the MAP files and EIF configuration without having to restart the HUB.

Several times, You wish you could make a recording of your Unix terminal session and save it for future audits or for documentation purposes. Though you could use some of the screen cast programs for this purpose, there are few disadvantages of this method such as maintaining window focus and large resulting file size. So, why not use a native UNIX command for this purpose?

Many of our customers want to know which agents are offline in the portal without having to expand the node for each host and see if it was greyed out. While "gbscmd stats" provides overall metrics about offline/online agents, here is a simple solution to provide an indicator for offline agents.
