Hello Evan, Good to hear from you again! For your question "TCPGLOBAL command in NETTOOL's" This was fixed as per SR 4701-261024 by our friends in Bangalore. Currently the fixes are beta test 5.0 NSTEDD6 and 5.5 NSTEDH9. I expect to see this fix rolled into the very next GENERAL RELEASE patch for 5.0 and 5.5, so it should be soon, I would recommend waiting... Check support line for patch availability.
