APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Applying an invalid audit/security configuration with the IBM
  Case
  Manager configuration tool command line, configmgr_cl, does not
  log an error or return an error to the user.
  This is misleading as the person running the tool may believe
  that the command executed successfully.
  
  Here is an example of the command:
  configmgr_cl applySolutionAuditManifest -profile profileName
  -manifestName AuditManifest -targetEnvName TargetEnvName
  -solutionName SolutionName
  
  configmgr_cl applySolutionSecurityManifest -profile profileName
  -manifestName SecurityManifest -targetEnvName TargetEnvName
  -solutionName SolutionName
  

Local fix

• Workarounds:
  1) Audit Manifest: Check to ensure that the audit being applied
  was either created on the same env, or if it is imported, that
  the imported manifest contains properties that have been created
  in the target env.
  2) Security Manifest: Check to ensure that the users and roles
  defined in the manifest contain valid values for the currently
  environment.  If it contains invalid roles or users, correct
  those prior to applying the manifest.
  2) Use the IBM Case Manager administration client to apply the
  audit/security manifest.

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in 5.2.1.6-ICM-FP006 or later.  With the fix, applying an
  invalid audit/security configuration with the IBM Case Manager
  configuration tool command line, configmgr_cl, will log an error
  and return an error to the user.
