IO17372: Update client wrapper cmd files [64 bit windows]

Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.1.0.54-ISS-ITDS-IF0054
Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.1.0.55-ISS-ITDS-IF0055

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On 64 bit windows installation of Directory Server both 32 bit
  and 64 bit command line clients (such as ldapsearch) gets
  installed. The wrapper cmd files (such as idsldapsearch.cmd or
  ldapsearch.cmd) from the bin folder calls / executes the 64 bit
  executable only. There is no method to invoke the 32 bit
  executable with out editing the wrapper cmd file.
  

Local fix

• Copy idsldapsearch.cmd into idsldapsearch32.cmd
  Modify the idsldapsearch32.cmd file to change the PATH and call
  the 32 bit exe:
  
  set PATH=%IDS_LDAP_HOME%\lib;%PATH%
  ...
  "%IDS_LDAP_HOME%\bin\32\%IDS_TMP_PROG%"  %*
  

Problem summary

• Currently on a 64 bit windows system, the ldap client
  command wrappers are hard coded to invoke the 64 bit
  executable only.
  
  To invoke the 32 bit client executable, the ldap client
  command wrappers must be updated manually.
  
  TDS provided ldap client utilities are enhanced to use env
  variable IDS_LDAP_BIT_MODE on windows platforms. This env
  variable already exists for unix platforms.
  
  Setting IDS_LDAP_BIT_MODE to 32 will make the ldap client
  command wrappers to invoke 32 bit ldap client executables.
  If this variable is not set it will work as default
  behavior per OS bit mode. This means 32 bit executalble
  will be invoked by the client command wrapper on a 32 bit
  windows system. Similarly 64 bit executable will be invoked
   by the client command wrapper on a 64 bit windows system.
  
  To invoke the 32 bit ldap client executable on 64 bit
  windows system set the following env variable before using
  client utilities in a command prompt:
       set IDS_LDAP_BIT_MODE=32
  
  This will invoke 32 bit executable for execution.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix for this APAR will be contained in the following
  maintenance packages:
