For the latest information on platform and products support, refer to the Symantec i³ version 7.5.1 Support Matrix ( http://support.veritas.com/docs/283453 ).

The following issues are fixed in the Indepth for J2EE FocalPoint:

Incident 848216 - The v7.5.1 release includes a script to build the Indepth for J2EE schema in an Oracle database. This script includes a step which does not work when executed on Oracle v9 or earlier databases.
Incident 1056830 - The Indepth for J2EE FocalPoint GUI does not correctly display pages for a single slice after drilling down from a time-series chart and choosing a different JVM. This can occur in the Statistics and Activity pages.

The following issues are fixed in the Indepth for J2EE Collector agent:

Incident 817052 - Under certain rare conditions, the monitored JVM will report a ConcurrentModificationException. This causes data aggregation to cease until the JVM is restarted. This is visible in the logs.
Incident 817654 - The CPU Percentage calculation is not displaying scaled percentage values on multiple CPU machines.
Incident 919194 - HTTP instrumentation data is not gathered properly, causing incorrect data to appear in the GUI.
Incident 1053360 - Under certain circumstances the serialVersionUID is calculated incorrectly, which results in an InvalidClassExcepiton where the svuid's don't match. This is visible in the logs, but does not cause the JVM to crash. Instead, the result is that object serialization stops functioning in the target application.

Notes

Before applying this patch, you must apply the IN_INFP_751_007 ( http://support.veritas.com/docs/290432 ) patch. If you have not yet applied the IN_INFP_751_007 patch, abort the current installation, apply the IN_INFP_751_007 patch and then re-apply this patch. To check whether the IN_INFP_751_007 patch is installed on your system, go to AdminPoint>Patches and verify that the IN_INFP_751_007 patch is installed on your Symantec i³ FocalPoint server.
If, and only if, you intend to install an Indepth for J2EE AppTier on a Solaris x86 or an AppTier to monitor WebLogic 10 (Portal) via the Symantec i³ CLI utility, you must apply the BU_IN_751_012 bundle patch before applying this Indepth for J2EE bundle patch. If this is the case, abort the current installation, apply the BU_IN_751_012 bundle patch and then re-apply this patch.
To check whether the BU_IN_751_012 patch is installed on your system, go to AdminPoint>Patches and verify that the BU_IN_751_012 patch is installed on your Symantec i³ FocalPoint server.
It is highly recommended to install the patch on all the Symantec i³ servers. If you only want to install it on some of the servers, you must make sure that the first installation of this Bundle Patch includes all servers that contain Symantec i³ FocalPoint agents or any of the other product FocalPoint agents.
The Bundle Patch mechanism will display all Pre- and Post-Patch requirements for all individual patches that are part of the Symantec Indepth for J2EE version 7.5.1 BU_JE_751_014 patch and are relevant to the installed environment. It is highly recommended that you will use View in Browser at this stage, and save the action items to a file for later reference, as some of these action items are dynamically calculated and displayed. The list of these Pre- and Post-action items is also saved in the following log file on the Symantec i³ FocalPoint server:

UNIX:

<i3_root>/logs/infra.bundle.patch.action.items.log

Windows:

<i3_root>\logs\infra.bundle.patch.action.items.log

Do not install the patches in the bundle separately. If you do so, this may lead to unexpected results.

Problems if BU_IN_751_012 is not installed

If the BU_IN_751_012 bundle patch is not installed before installing the BU_JE_751_014 bundle patch:

Solaris x86 will not appear as a platform option during the server installation in the installation GUI, nor will it be available in the Symantec i³ CLI utility.
WebLogic 10 (Portal) will not appear as an application server option during the installation in the installation GUI, nor will it be available in the Symantec i³ CLI utility.

Installation directive

When you apply the version 7.5.1 bundle patch BU_I3_750_001 on a server, any relevant version 7.5.1 MP bundle patch or patch (for example BU_OR_751_015) that was previously applied to that server should be re-applied to that server after you complete the version 7.5.1 bundle patch installation.

See Also: Installing new components after applying Symantec i3 v7.5.1 ( http://support.veritas.com/docs/284321 )

The following is an example scenario:
1. You have installed a Symantec i³ version 7.5.0 server with a .NET Collector agent.

2. You have applied the version 7.5.1 bundle patch BU_I3_750_001 to the server. The server version is now version 7.5.1.

3. You have installed the Indepth for Microsoft .NET version 7.5.1 MP bundle Patch BU_DN_751_003. The server version that is shown is still version 7.5.1.

4. Let us assume that the MP2 bundle patch has not been installed on Indepth for Oracle. You install the Indepth for Oracle FocalPoint on the server. Because the MP2 bundle patch for this product has not been applied, it does not fall under the staging process, the server version is now version 7.5.0.

5. You now need to re-apply version 7.5.1 bundle patch BU_I3_750_001. After applying the version 7.5.1 bundle patch, the server version is version 7.5.1.

6. At this stage you must reapply the Indepth for Microsoft .NET bundle patch BU_DN_751_003 to bring your server to the same state as it was before you applied the version 7.5.1 bundle patch BU_I3_750_001 in the previous step.

Note: It is also recommended to install the latest Indepth for Oracle bundle patch currently BU_OR_751_015.

This patch is a cumulative patch for Indepth for J2EE and contains all enhancements and problem fixes that were previously released in bundle patch BU_JE_751_010 ( http://support.veritas.com/docs/290463 ), therefore making that bundle patch obsolete.
