The problem is that AIX 4.3 is not recognized as an 'interp-type' by Tivoli, so
I don't see how the older
framework would be any better. AIX 4.1 and 4.2 are both recognized as 4.1. To
install the framework (3.2)
on AIX 4.3, you need to pull the patch 3.2-TMP-0004 from the fp site
(ftp.tivoli.com/support/patches). NOTE
however, that the readme for this patch has bad, believable, typos in it. It is
not for the beginner. I would
pull it, and then call support and tell them you know about the typos and ask
them to point them out.
If everyone complains, then maybe the readme will get corrected!
Cordially,

Subject: Re: Problems installing Framework on v4.3
Hi,
Thanks for all inputs made to this ongoing issue.
I spoke to our Tivoli person and the claim put to me is that TME 10 Framework
Version 3.1.3 is adequate for installation upon AIX V4.3. Is this the case?
Regards,
Simon Long
