Re: [nv-l] TBSM adapter

[Gareth Holl <gholl@us.ibm.com>]

A knowledge item submitted by a Engineer in the TBSM
Support team:

Problem Desc:
The original TBSM 2.1.1 adapter for Distributed Netview
is incompatible with NetView 7.1.4. Users will experience problems with
the NetView topology view on the NetView Web Console. A Java exception
with "xerces" in the name will be generated. 
Solution: Open a PMR to IBM Tivoli TBSM support
before upgrading to Netview 7.1.4 if using the TBSM adapter. A fix is being
developed. 
If the migration to Netview 7.1.4 upgrade has occurred or will occur before
the fix is available, implement the following workaround to circumvent
the problem:
1. Delete the /usr/OV/jars/xerces.jar file 
2. Change the line: CP=${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/jlog.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/adapter.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/ASICommonListener.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/MQeGateway.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/xerces.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/scaffold.jar
in /usr/OV/bin/start_tbsmadapter.sh to:
CP=${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/jlog.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/adapter.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/ASICommonListener.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/MQeGateway.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/xerces-3.2.1.jar:${NETVIEW_HOME}/jars/scaffold.jar

As far as I know, the fix is now available
from the TBSM team. Hope this helps,

Jane,
If you look at the 7.1.4 Release Notes, it talks about contacting 
support to get an update for
the adapter. I assume they mean TBSM support.....cause I have no clue.
