APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• I can not run zOSEventSupport_rules.sh to copy file from
  EventPump directory to linux2s390.
  
  When I installed EventPump 4.2.2.5-TIV-EP-FP0005 for eif probe,
  I can not run zOSEventSupport_rules.sh to copy file from
  EventPump directory to linux2s390. The shell script seems
  resolve the directory as linux3s390. It is different with my
  previous system. The following is the result after I run
  zOSEventSupport_rules.sh:
  
  yangshul@glpauto5:/opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/etc/EventPump>
  ./zOSEventSupport_rules.sh
  
  cp: target `/opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/probes/linux3s390'
  is not a directory
  yangshul@glpauto5:/opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/etc/EventPump>
  
  SUMMARY OF PROBLEM:
  Issues installing the event pump onto SuSE 11 SP2.
  

Local fix

• Manually copy the files to the correct $ARCH Directory.

  Running zOSEventSupport_rules.sh installation script in Linux
  3.x kernel systems leads to incorrect output. Rules files are
  copied into wrong $NCHOME/omnibus/probes/linux3x86 directory.
  Correct directory name is $NCHOME/omnibus/probes/linux2x86.
  
  Here is a snapshot, from the Linux system, illustrating the
  problem:
  
  von@NC9128110076|/opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/etc/EventPump $
   ./zOSEventSupport_rules.sh
  cp: target `/opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/probes/linux3x86' is
   not a directory

Problem conclusion

• zOSEventSupport_rules.sh installation script file was updated to
  support Linux 3.x kernel systems.
  
  There is an associated distributed platform update for Tivoli
  EIF Probe. This update is in MDV 4.2.2.9-TIV-EP-FP0009,
  and can be located on the IBM Tivoli Event Pump support site
  under Downloads.
