Resolution
Why Install this Hotfix?
This hotfix replaces hotfix 70843 and provides the following additional improvements to the AppManager 6.5 and 7.0.x UNIX agents:
- The nqDecrypt Boolean, included with the Perl Knowledge Script function NetIQ::Nqext::DecryptPwd(), works properly when called from the AppManager for Oracle (UNIX) Perl module.
- The agent works properly after synchronizing management server designation information where the secondary management server name is shorter than the primary management server.
- In the
NqmComms.xml
file, you are no longer required to specify a<weight>
tag value of0
to designate a secondary management server. You can specify any integer value, except1
, to designate a secondary management server. To designate a primary management server, the<weight>
tag must have a value of1
.
For example, the following snippet shows the primary management server ismyserverA
and the secondary management server ismyserverB
:<SERVER><NAME>myserverA</NAME><PORT>9001</PORT><WEIGHT>1</WEIGHT></SERVER><SERVER><NAME>myserverB</NAME><PORT>9001</PORT><WEIGHT>2</WEIGHT></SERVER>
- Directories created by the agent are now given octal permissions of 0755 instead of 0777.
- The agent now properly runs jobs that are scheduled to run on any "last" event, such as the last week of a month.
- The overall stability of the agent is improved.
- 11/09: A problem with the UNIX Agent not closing file handles on systems with bonded network cards has been fixed (see NETIQKB71916)
