Patch: 3.6.1-DMN-0012

Component: Distributed Monitoring

Problems Fixed:

    APAR: IX85690
    Symptom: On certain Netware configurations, the Netfinity module
             MONBASE will time out with a CPU hog message. The Netware server
             will take action by suspending the process, this then affects
             the rest of DM.

Architecture(s): Netware 3.x and Netware 4.x

Dependencies: 3.6.1-DMN-MR and 3.6.1-DMN-0008

Database Changes: None

Files Replaced or Added by this Patch (for all supported values of $INTERP):

     $BINDIR/../bin/lcf_bundle/netfin/MONBASE.NLM

Patch Contents:

     - This README file
     - A cdrom image for this patch 


Applying the Patch:

 1)	On a UNIX system:
	
	Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose of this 
	release note, assume that the symbol $PATCH points to this directory. 

	# cd $PATCH
	# tar xvf 3.6.1-DMN-0012.tar

	On a Windows NT system:

	Place the patch tape in the tape drive and extract the contents into
	a scratch directory. For the purpose of this release note, assume that
	the symbol %PATCH% points to this directory.

	> %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env
	> X:		  
       ^-- 'X' is drive letter where %PATCH% is found
	> cd %PATCH%
	> tar xvf 3.6.1-DMN-0012.tar

	NOTE:  If you are extracting the tar image on a Windows NT system,
	you will find an executable for tar in the TME installation on
	Windows NT under bin/w32-ix86/tools/tar.exe.
