Please add the following items to the GLA section of the TPTP 4.1 Release Notes:

1.1.x Parsing a log file that requires a converter command executed on AIX sometimes fails

bugzilla 104053

Adapter configuration files that use a converter command in the sensor component to perform some conversion on the log data before parsing it may not work correctly on AIX.  The converter command may fail to execute on AIX and the log file cannot be parsed.  For example if the converter command is a java command, the converter will fail on AIX.  Converter commands that are shell scripts will be executed on AIX so commands that fail can be wrapped in shell scripts and the shell script can be specified as the converter command in the adapter file.

1.1.x Generic Log Adapter does not create child ExtendedDataElements correctly

bugzilla 116447

Executing rules-based adapter configuration files that include rules for child ExtendedDataElements, with Generic Log Adapter, will produce CommonBaseEvents with incorrect child ExtendedDataElements.  It is recommended not to create adapter files with rules for child ExentdedDataElements with this release of TPTP.

1.1.x No error message when Logging Agent Outputter fails to communicate with Agent Controller

bugzilla 113171

When attempting to do live monitoring of a log file using standalone Generic Log Adapter configured with a Logging Agent Outputter (CBELogOutputter), there is no error message issued if the Agent Controller runtime DLL's are not accessible to the Generic Log Adapter process.  The Generic Log Adapter process will hang waiting for the logging agent to register with Agent Controller and be monitored.  To workaround this problem ensure the following:

On Windows systems, the Agent Controller bin directory must be included in the Windows PATH environment variable.

or

On non-Windows systems, the Agent Controller lib directory must be included in the LIBPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or SHLIB_PATH environment variable, depending on the operating system.
