Abstract: NCP_TRAPMUX FORWARDS TRAP PACKETS USING INCORRECT LENGTH
Description: When routing snmp traps through the ncp multiplexor, it appears that while 
it will receive the trap ok it only will forward out 1024 bytes.If the trap is longer than
that, it just truncates the trap.

-------------
Abstract: ITNM_STATUS NCO COMMAND TRIES TO SHOW THE STATUS OF ALL MANAGED
PROCESSES IN THE PA INSTEAD OF ONLY network manger ONES.
Description: Currently when running the itnm_status nco script we are getting 
all the processes under the PA in the Omnibus instead of only the network manger related
ones ( PA, objserver, mttrapd ). Additionally, the status of the other PA processes is not always correct, which 
may lead to some confusion about the true status of those processes.

Abstract: MARKING DEVICES AS UNMANAGED WHEN THE BACKUP DOMAIN IS
ACTING PRIMARY FAILS TO SET NMOSMANAGEDSTATUS IN PROBE EVENTS
Description: Unmanage a device when in failover mode, with the backup domain 
having become the acting primary domain, unmanage one of the
devices. Events from the network manger poller are correctly suppressed.
However, events from other sources, such Syslog or Mttrapd
(SNMP) probe fail to have the NmosManagedStatus field set
correctly to 1. This means they show up on Event Lists that 
use NmosManagedStatus to filter out events from devices that 
are known to be unmanaged.

APAR: IV01535
-------------
Abstract: POLLER CONTINUES TO POLL AN UNMANAGED CHASSIS
Description: Customer can unmanage a chassis from the gui (hopview) and can
still see polling traffic going to that entity. It appears to only be snmp poll traffic because
the tcpdump shows ICMP echos stop when unmanaged.

APAR: IV01549
-------------
Abstract: WHEN RIGHT CLICKING AND CHOSING TO "GRAPH SNMP MIB DATA" ERROR
RECEIVED "... HOST CANNOT BE FOUND IN THE NCIM DATABASE"
Description: 1) In hop view, I searched for the node in the domain. Select 
this node.
2) When the view shows up, I right clicked and chose to "Graph
SNMP MIB Data". I go to the second tab, select any poll.
3) When I select "OK" to graph the data, I receive the message:
"The specified host cannot be found in the NCIM database. Please
choose another." This is caused when no interface record exists in scratchTopology with an m_IpAddress of the chassis.

Action:
The fix is to check for chassis objects that have no corresponding interface records in CreateScratchTopology and tag them.
A change to ModelNcimDb.cfg will create records in the ipEndPoint table for chassis that have been tagged.
If the NCHOME/etc/precision/ModelNcimDb.cfg has been customized before, then the existing file should be merged with 
NCHOME/etc/precision/default/ModelNcimDb.cfg with the appropriate value set.

domainA.
4> Click the 'save' button. Saved, and the domain drop-down list
refreshed from DomainA to DomainB(sync with the drop-down list
of "Discovery Status"?), but the configurations in the webpage 
are still of DomainA.
5> Click the 'save' button again, DomainB scope config over-writed by DomainA's

Issue-2:
1> Start the discovery for DomainA and DomainB
During the disco process, execute the following steps.
2> Open "Discovery Status" and select DomainA
3> Open "Discovery Config" and select DomainB
(select different Domain from step1).
=> verify the message "Downloading..."
4> Back to "Discovery Status", where the domain drop-down list
is still domainA, and Click "Stop" button.
=> then Discovery process for domainB stopped while we meant
to stop domainA's.

You are installing network manger as a not root user to the path: /ITNM_3.9/NoAccess/Netcool.The installed has a built in logic to not create a directory
called netcool under an existing Netcool directory. The installer will try and 
create the TIPV2 in on the same level as the Netcool directory which the user installing network manger doesn't have access to. 
This will cause the installer to fail and report a "Catastrophic failure encountered when creating installation plan."

Abstract: KNP AGENT NOT PASSING HISTORICAL DATA TO TDW
Description: The customer has an agent instance configured to migrate 100000
rows but the database has less than 100000 rows when this was 
configured. The agent tries to migrate the data for the timestamp when the 
configuration changed and it will just update the timestamp when 
there are 100000 rows. In this scenario this will never 
happen and the agent will get stuck on a query that never 
returns data.

------------- 
Abstract: SNMP STACK NEEDS REPORTABLEFLAG TO BE SET TO 1 IN SOME CASES
Description: The reportable Flag needs to be set to 1 in case of possible 
packet that can not be decoded by target device.
For latest Huaway firmware the devices expects the flag to be
set to 1, but it is not during the SNMP GetNext statements 
issued by network manger. We need a change to the network manger
SNMP stack such that it checks the PDU type that its is about to send and sets the reportableFlag accordingly. 
This means that we'd be able to successfully discover the Huawei devices with this new firmware.
In theory this could impact discovery of other vendors equipment
via SNMPv3 but if they are following the standard then they 
should be ignoring the reportable Flag so this is a relatively 
low risk.

Description:When inferring CE devices, due to overlapping IP addresses, the
RemoveInferredCEDuplicates stitcher deleted valid entities in
order to replace them with inferred CE entities. The stitcher 
needs some minor modifications so it doesn't do this.
The query assumes it is looking for "no access" main nodes but 
doesn't specify that it is a main node and s o
can get a VLAN object or similar no access entity on a device 
which does have SNMP access.
This causes the stitcher to later delete the device. The initial

batches of entities from the domain before deleting the domain 
itself, but this mechanism does not currently work. The entities 
are deleted only at the end of the script, when the domain
itself is removed from the domainMgr table.This defeats the 
purpose of the script, and can fail on very large topologies.

Abstract: RCA FAILS TO SUPPRESS EVENTS FROM THE CHASSIS IP WHEN THE GRAPH
ENDS ON AN INTERFACE WITH THE SAME IP.
Description: 
Isolated-Suppression fails to suppress events from the chassis
when the graph though the network terminates on an interface with the same 
IP.In the user case, the interface that is used to identify the 
chassis is contained within an VLAN. Although the VLAN is 
subsequently contained within the chassis, it is also isolated 
within the chassis because the chassis device is not an
IP-FORWARDING device. So although connectivity extends from the 
interface to the VLAN, the path is not continuous up to the 
chassis entity.
Therefore when RCA encounters events from the Chassis entity, it fails to 
complete a continuous path from the polling station all
the way to the chassis and does not mark the event as a symptom. 
Action:
1.Modify the Discovery stitcher code so that the interface
is upwardly connected to the VLAN. 
2. Modify the RCA code so that when the Isolated-Suppression
algorithm encounters an interface on the path that has the same
IP address as the chassis, it looks for events on the chassis 
too and suppresses any events it finds on the chassis.

for one of the values presented via the report period drop down. In the
report period drop down, the Japanese text translates as "past 1 year" but 
the time period in the report is from the beginning of the current year.
The expectation is that the report shows data from January 1st 
of the current year. So the report is correct according to the expectated 
result.
What is wrong is the value in the drop down list for the period.
Instead of reading "past 1 year" it should read "year
to date". The meaning is different. Past 1 year implies
a full year worth of data going back in time from today's date.
Year to date implies all data from the beginning of the current year.
NOTE: The results of the default report is correct. It is the
translation for year to date in the list of options in the drop
down that needs correcting.

Abstract: SCOPE.SPECIAL EXTENDED TO CHASSIS AND INTERFACES.
Description: "scope special" is an existing feature we extend to chassis and 
interfaces.Please see following
RFE..http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=31587
Changes to the scope.special table.
The following link describes the existing “special” table from the scope database :
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/topic/com.ibm.networkmanagerip.doc_3.8/itnm/ip/wip/disco/reference/nmip_dsc_dsc_scope_db_schema_special_table.html

Following new data fields have been added in 
NCHOME/etc/precision/default/DiscoSchema.cfg.
Column name Constraints Data type Description
m_Identifier Text Optional identifier for tracking
m_Priority int Optional priority used if used if there are multiple matches,
in which case the scope.special entry with the highest priority will be selected.
m_NonPingable int If set to 1 then the address will be selected even if could not be pinged
m_AdminInterface int type boolean Does this apply to interface entities Note: m_IsManagement is for chassis
m_ExtraInfo object type vblist Optional fields with which the arget entity could be enriched

If the NCHOME/etc/precision/DiscoSchema.cfg has been customized before, then 
the existing file should be merged with 
NCHOME/etc/precision/default/DiscoSchema.cfg with the appropriate value set.

Description: There is no error when run nmImport in target server. After run 
nmImport, the network view get migrate to target server but 0 node. When 
checking in databases, there is empty record for entiydata, chassis.
The export scripts require m_EncryptPasswords to be the second column in 
the insert into config.settings insert. 
If the NCHOME/etc/precision/ConfigSchema.cfg has been customized before, 
then the existing file should be merged with N
NCHOME/etc/precision/default/ConfigSchema.cfg with the appropriate value set.

APAR: IV44549
------------- 
Abstract: THE NCP_NCOGATE PROCESS NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO OPTIONALLY UPDATE AN 
EVENT WHEN THE TOPOLOGY LOOKUP FAILED.
Description: The problem it addresses is the fact that the 3.8 gateway will 
simply discard events that fail the topology lookup. This means that the 
Impact policy which the customer has chained off the gateway's update will 
never be triggered because the event is not updated.
Added the following to the gateway configuration file:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// This is optional for events moving from ITNM to Omnibus that failed in the
// topology look up. An example of when you might use this is to update a flag
// in the event to indicate that ITNM has finished processing the event. This
// flag could then be used by an Impact policy to initiate further processing
// of the event.
//
// Note that after processing the EventFilter defined in config.ncp2nco will be
// applied.
//
create table config.topoFail
(
EventFieldMap object type vblist
);

// insert into config.topoFail
// (
// EventFieldMap
// )
// values
// (
// {
// NmosObjInst = 0,
// NmosEntityId = 0,
// NmosSerial = '',
// NmosCauseType = "eval(int, '$CAUSEUNKNOWN')"
// }
// );

If the NCHOME/etc/precision/NcoGateSchema.cfg has been customized before, 
then the existing file should be merged with 
NCHOME/etc/precision/default/NcoGateSchema.cfg with the appropriate value set.

Abstract: SINGLE QUOTES REQUIRED WHEN USING LITERALS IN POLLING POLICY,
HOWEVER THE GUI REPLACES QUOTES WITH &#039, BREAKING POLICY.
Description: When creating a Poll Definition involving a literal string, the
literal must be placed within single quotes. If you don't place 
the string in quotes,the poller throws the error "error in
template" ... I believe this is expected.
However if you quote the string, it appears the quotes are 
replaced by the string "&#039;". This happens if you change 
between the tabs (eg "Trigger Threshold" to "Clear Threshold"
and back to "Trigger Threshold") while creating a new poll
definition. It also happens when you save the poll definition 
and then bring that poll definition back up for editing. If you 
save the definition and edit a 3rd time, the "&" in "&#039;" is 
replaced by "&amp;". And this replacement of the "&" will go on 
continuously.

APAR: IZ96931
------------- 
Abstract: VIRTUAL DOMAIN CONNECTION BETWEEN PRIMARY AND BACKUP NOT ALWAYS
CORRECTLY
Description: virtual domain connection between primary and backup ITNM 
servers on different machines does not always restored correctly.
In a ITNM failover setup with primary and backup on two 
machines, after the virtual domain processes had connected, if 
there occurs an connection issue, Virtual domain should recover 
from this once the connection can be re-established, but this 
did not always happen. So when there is a tcp connection between 
the two virtual domain processes and the tcp connection is rese t
due to firewall/network issues, intermittently the system does 
not reconnect properly which will result in the backup ITNM not 
being updated.

------------- 
Abstract: WHEN A INTERFACE IS EXCLUDED, AN ALERT IS STILL RAISED WHEN POLL 
FAILS
Description: When using a post-discovery filter to eliminate specific
interface types, those interfaces are not included in model or 
ncim as expected. However, when a poll without an interface 
filter is run against that device - per the recommended 
configuration - the poll result is not discarded, thus, if the 
poll fails for a particular interface, an alert will be raised.

Abstract: ACTIVE POLLING POLICY REMAINS ON THE BACKUP NCMONITOR DB AFTER
DELETED ON THE PRIMARY
Description: While deleting active polling policy on the primary, the
MonitorPolicies.<DomainName>.xml synchronized OK on the backup,
but not synchronized in backup ncmonitor database, where
the active polling policy remains and could generate poll data
if primary server down.
