Error description

  • When Turkish locals (regional settings) are used on a system
    hosting the Integrated Solutions Console with the Tivoli Storage
    Manager Administration Center, some actions in the
    Administration Center can cause a PortletException error to
    appear.
    
    Amongst these actions are:
    Storage Devices -> View Device Classes
    Storage Devices -> View Storage Pools -> Modify Storage Pool
    Storage Devices -> Create a Library -> Create Library
    Storage Devices -> Modify Library
    Server Maintenance -> Create Maintenance Script
    Server Maintenance -> Modify Maintenance Script
    
    The PortletException error is raised as the platform hosting the
    Integrated Solutions Console cannot be identified:
    Exception Type:   PortletException
    Message:
     com.tivoli.dsm.admcntr.cntl.core.DsmPortletController:processVi
    ew
    Root Cause:  com.tivoli.dsm.admcntr.util.DsmLogicException:

        [...]
    
    These messages can also be found in file SystemErr.log in the
    Integrated Solutions Console / Administration Center
    installation log directory.
    The problem is caused due to a globalization problem with the
    Turkish dotted "i" that will impact the recognition of all mixed
    (upper-/lower-case) OS names with an "i" in it (for instance
    Windows, Linux, ...).
    
    This also has an influence on the functionality of the
    Administration Center Support Utility "supportUtil" as for
    instance on a Windows system some shell script (*.sh) are tried
    to be called instead of the batch files (*.bat).
    
    
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    All Administration Center Versions 5.4, 5.5 and 6.1
    
    
    Initial Impact:
    Medium
