IBM Tivoli License Compliance Manager 2.3, Fix Pack 2.3.0-TIV-TLCM-FP0006

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Software scan fails with core dumps. Found cause is volume of
  data returned by CIT wscansw scan. Need to have method for
  excluding directories in TLCM. Found correct method to exclude
  directories was delivered and documented in TLCM-2.2 fixpack03.
  The option is scan_exclude_dirs=dir1;dir2;dir3
  The information for usage listed in the fixpack readme states:
  .
  Capability to exclude agent directories from being scanned
  
  The fix pack introduces the possibility to exclude some
  directories from being scanned on an agent.  This option is
  enabled by including a configuration parameter in the file
  tlmagent.ini.
  .
  To enable the option do the following:
  1. Stop the agent by using the command tlmagent -e.
  2. Edit the file tlmagent.ini to include the parameter
         scan_exclude_dirs.
     As parameter value, write the path of the directory that you
     want to exclude from the scan. The format of the path must
     be UTF 8. If you want to exclude more than one directory,
     include their paths separated by semicolon (;).
     Wildcard is supported, but only when used as a delimiter (for
     example, */folder/).
  3. Restart the agent by using the command tlmagent -g.
  .
  This information needs to be included in the TLCM documentation
  manuals.
