Error description

  • During the Tivoli Storage Productivity Center reports
    installation on Unix, a symbolic link is created in
    JazzSM/TCR/Cognos directory.
    i.e: ln -s /db2/db2tpc/db2_v101/lib32/libdb2.a
    /opt/IBM/TPC/JazzSM/reporting/cognos/bin/
    
    The link is not deleted when running the script
    uninstall_tpc_reports.sh  to uninstall the Tivoli Storage
    Productivity Center reports.
    

Local fix

  • Remove the link manually.
    i.e.: rm /opt/IBM/TPC/JazzSM/reporting/cognos/bin/libdb2.a
