Just so you know.. it is extremely rare for a provisional to be
"available" for central services programs [TEMS/TEPS/etc]. They are
created for a specific customer, a specific maintenance level and a
specific hardware/operating_system level and sent just to that customer.
L3 is always involved in deciding whether or not it can be done.
*NOTE: in the last 10 years, there was a defect in ITM 6.2 GA and a
provisional was created for all platforms and delivered via a technote.
Also, other development areas - like the OS Agents for example - do create
interim fixes which can be sent out by a L2 process.

Hi Jay,
Do you know if this issue is true for a clean installation, or just an
upgrade?

Upgrading from 6.3 to 6.3 FP 2 causes TEMS to segfault if the eif
forwarder is used. I don't have the apar on hand but there is a

All good points.
A recent Oracle Java exposed an ITM issue that is being worked on
Prompt for Security Warning Dialog on IBM Tivoli Monitoring Browser Client
(TEP)
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21651837
and also this new APAR IV51394 TEP JWS CLIENT DOES NOT START WITH JAVA 7
U45 [Oracle Java 1.7.0u45]
The local fix is to use Browser client instead of Java Web Start,
Eventually you can track the APAR via this URL
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV51394
I am not prejudiced either way - every path has its advantages.

Thanks for the info John.
We are hesitant to go to the latest version, and are more interested in
stability versus new features, but another consideration for us is the
support for Java 7 in 6.3. In our environ we are required to keep
up-to-date with Sun/Oracle Java (the latest version of which totally broke
the TEP Webstart), and it is looking doubtful that 6.2.3 will work with
future versions of Sun JRE7.
Thanks again,
-James

You have two potential goals
1) For maximum stability, get the latest maintenance level that is in
fix-only status. You can easily spot fix-only status by checking the
publications. For ITM 623, GA and FP1 have new doc and that means that ITM
623 FP2/FP3/FP4 are in [mostly] fix only mode. They also have most
customer experience. The [mostly] refers to some serviceability changes
that are added in to tune up the product. [One example is the APAR fix in
ITM 623 FP4 to warn when a situation is "Filter object too big"].
2) For maximum features, get the latest maintenance level. ITM 630
GA/FP1/FP2 all have doc and so all come from Development and have really
amazing new features. Great stuff. But they lack the depth of customer
experience and related APAR fixes.
APAR fixes in ITM 623 are usually cloned into ITM 630 - so there is a
general overall improvement.
You can chose which goal is most important to you and go that way.
Just my humble opinion - probably not the official path.
Regards,

Hi List,
We have been at ITM 6.2.2.5 for a while, and we're looking at upgrading.
We had planned on going to the most current fixpack of 6.2.3, but we are
now considering going to 6.3. Do you have any experiences you could share
as far as stability, upgrade problems, etc in going to 6.3?
We run mostly OS agents plus a few Agent-Builder and Universal agents, and
we're feeding events thru Omnibus 7.3.1.
Thanks in advance for any info you care to share.
-James
