The following technical considerations or new features apply to the June 2012 Patch Release for Operations Center version 5.0:
The following sections detail considerations that apply to the installation and configuration of the Operations Center server:
The “is” comparison option on Alarm Filters is not working properly.
The algorithm Band command configured with invert="yes" is not working properly.
Duplicate remotecontainer connections are created on non-master Operations Server clients in a cluster environment.
The IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager 7.1.2 adapter has been renamed to IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager 7.x.
IMPORTANT:Delete any existing TADDM adapters before applying the June 2012 patch or errors will occur. Before deleting the adapters, take note of the exact adapter name. After the patch is installed, recreate the TADDM adapters using the same adapter names as before to preserve any element links, SLA and SCM settings/data.
If upgrading from NetIQ (formerly Novell) Cloud Manager version 1.0 to version 2.0, it is necessary to delete any existing Cloud Manager adapters and recreate them after upgrade. Before deleting existing adapters, you can note the adapter’s configuration settings so that recreating is easy.
It is no longer necessary to copy the EZJcomLib18 and JScomIntegrationHelper library files to the System32 and SysWOW64 directories in order to integrate to SCOM.
When upgrading to Operations Center 5.0 May 2012 Patch Release, we recommend deleting the EZJcomLib18.dll and JScomIntegrationHelper.dll files from your C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (on Windows 64-bit Server only) directories.
