APARs fixed
The following table lists APARs that are fixed in this patch. APAR Symptoms Behavior after applying the patch Available since
IV63342 The import step that matches usage data takes a lot of time. Performance of this import step is improved. Patch 6
IV62663 When you open the Scan Data report, a redundant UTF-8 sequence error is displayed. The error is caused by incorrect encoding of binary data. After you install the patch, the error is no longer displayed. Patch 6
IV62543 After you reinstall the instance of Software Knowledge Base Toolkit that was used with Software Use Analysis, you are not able to import the software catalog to Software Use Analysis. The instance of Software Knowledge Base Toolkit that is used with Software Use Analysis cannot be reinstalled due to catalog versioning constraints. What is more, if you want to use Software Knowledge Base Toolkit for catalog management, you must set it as a catalog server for Software Use Analysis before you run the initial import. Otherwise, you are not able to import a catalog from Software Knowledge Base Toolkit to Software Use Analysis. Documentation is updated to contain information about these limitations. Patch 6
IV62239 Software Use Analysis cannot connect to IBM Bluepages LDAP. Software Use Analysis can connect to IBM Bluepages LDAP. Patch 6
IV62217 If the site for Software Use Analysis 9.0 or 9.1 is enabled in the Endpoint Manager console and some computers are subscribed to this site, the Windows Application Usage and Windows Installed Packages properties do not point to the Software Use Analysis 2.2 site by default. As a result, software discovery might be incorrect. The properties point to the Software Use Analysis 2.2 site by default. Patch 6
IV61970 If the Software Use Analysis REST API times out, the mapping between Software Use Analysis and IBM Tivoli Integration Composer is lost. If the REST API times out, IBM Tivoli Integration Composer is allowed to complete the operation and the mapping is not lost. Patch 6
IV61959 Progress of the data import is difficult to track as import logs are not updated regularly. As a result, it is difficult to troubleshoot import problems. The import log contains INFO messages that provide information about the amount of data that was transferred during the data import. Patch 6
IV61953 When you stop a scan task in the Endpoint Manager console, the scanner continues working on the target computer and uploads the accumulated scan data to the Software Use Analysis server. It is not possible to stop the scanner on the target computer and prevent it from uploading scan data. A procedure for recovering from accumulated scans is provided in the scalability guide that is available on the Software Use Analysis wiki. Patch 6
IV61932 Documentation does not provide information about maintaining the Software Use Analysis database and checking the health of the MS SQL server. The information is provided in the scalability guide that is available on the Software Use Analysis wiki. Patch 6
IV60917 When you open a report that contains a considerable amount of records, performance of the user interface is slow and it takes a lot of time to load the next set of records. Performance of the user interface is improved. Patch 6
