IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.2.3 Fix Pack 5 (6.2.3-TIV-ITM-FP0005)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When trying to launch the Tivoli Enterprise Portal in Java
  Westart mode using Oracle Java 1.7.0u45 it does not start.
  The error message states " KFWITM348E The Tivoli Enterprise
  Portal has not been configured to connect to a Tivoli
  Enterprise Portal Server.  Configure the hostname of a Tivoli
  Enterprise Portal server to use and try again."
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  Install Oracle Java 1.7.0u45 and try to launch the Tivoli
  Enterprise  Portal.
  

Local fix

• No local fix. The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser client
  should work with Oracle Java 1.7.0u45 using the browser client
  mode instead of Java Webstart.
  

Problem summary

• New security requirements were added by oracle for java webstart
   deployed applications. Parameters passed into the java runitme
  via the java webstart jnlp file must be changed to conform to
  the new security standard.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed the parameter names defined in the tivoli portal
  tep.jnlp file to conform to the new naming convention. Made
  changes to the tivoli portal client to handle the new name
  change for runtime parameters passed in at application
  initialization.
