Instance Automation

PRB1290818


The clone reEncryption operation failsAfter a clone, Safenet is unable to re-encrypt when the table is sys_encryption_context, the column is encryption_key, and the name is 'Encrypted Export Attachment' because the field has a read-only sys_policy.

List v2

PRB570571

KB0522575

In List v2, related list and embedded list personalizations are not working, and the related list layout is cached against the user role instead of the individual userOn related lists in List v2, if User A personalizes the related list, User B can see the change. However, if User B tries to reset to default, it does not allow this. In addition, forms and related lists are cached per the user role. When User A personalizes the related list on a form, all other users with the User A role can see the personalized form.
  1. Log in to a base system where this issue is occurring.
  2. Add the same set of roles to two different users.

    For more information, see the product documentation topic Assign a role to a user.

  3. As User A, configure the list layout.

    For more information, see the product documentation topic Configure the list layout.

  4. As User B, navigate to the same list.

Notice that the list layout is personalized by User A. Also notice that Reset to Column Defaults only appears when that user has already personalized the list.

Transaction and Session Management

PRB1319553


Tomcat counter does not decrement properly, causing the node not reachable or UI unusableSome of the symptoms on an affected node:
  • Requests are not processed, causing the UI unusable.
  • Many exception messages in the logs, such as EOF, IOConnectionTimeout, CloseChannelException, or Broken Pipe.
  • Perform a heap dump and inspect the LimitLatch object to see the count value. If it's 10,000, the issue is occurring.
  • Inspect the xmlstatsduration on BigData. If the value is high for a long time and the histogram looks like a solid rectangular block, it represents a high response time.
  • A large number of requests and response objects hold the majority of heap memory.
