Listed below is a summary of updates included. Please refer to the associated readme document for any additional information.

======================================================================
This hotfix is cumulative of previous TIB_amx_tap_020100 hotfixes.

Closed Issues in TIB_amx_tap_020100_2 (This Release)

  1-9GSIK5:
  Administrator scripts no longer fail to launch on an AIX machine that
  has 64-bit ActiveMatrix installation, but a 32-bit JRE directory had
  been declared in the system's LIBPATH environment variable.


  1-8J213R:
  Performance degradation in Administrator when used with Oracle, as
  compared with other databases, is no longer an issue.
  However, certain performance optimizations required changes to the
  underlying Database table schema. For backward compatibility, this
  schema change is not enabled for an existing Administrator cluster.
  The schema change is applied automatically for a new Administrator
  cluster only.

  If you plan to create a new Administrator cluster after applying this
  hotfix, then you must also install the hotfix "AMX-RP-020100-1".
  The database schema change impacts AMX nodes, and for them to continue
  to function, that hotfix is required.

  Certain other performance improvements were made in the command line
  scripting framework. An increasing performance degradation seen while
  deploying several service assemblies is now fixed. This fix applies
  to all platforms and databases, and it is not schema related.



  1-9GT8TS:
  admincmdline no longer terminates with the rarely seen error: "XFireException
  (socket closed)" while running a batch of ANT commands. This symptom
  was caused because of an incorrect detection of a denial-of-service
  condition on the Administration server, which is now fixed.


  1-9GT9A1:
  Fixed an issue seen with Sybase, where many operations, such as viewing
  details of a node in Administrator UI, failed with the database error
  "Implicit conversion from datatype 'VARCHAR' to 'NUMERIC' is not allowed.
   Use the CONVERT function to run this query.". This issue was specifically
  related to very large numbers generated by the database sequence generator.
  Generation of such large sequence ID numbers in Sybase server was seen
  rarely in some Sybase instances. Such large sequence ID numbers are now
  handled correctly in Administrator.

  

Closed Issues in TIB_amx_tap_020100_1 (Previous Release)

  1-8UH6XZ:
  The ActiveMatrix Administrator server no longer reports the error
  "LDAP Error 12 Unavailable Critical Extension" when connecting to
  Sun Java System Directory Server version 6.3 for the LDAP
  Authentication Realm.

  1-9AGELV:
  A null pointer exception is no longer reported when deleting a node.
  This was a regression from AMX 2.0.2-hf1
