QCCR1E137165 Service Manager Service Portal

The QMS component in Smart Analytics does not support SSL to communicate with Service Portal (or Propel) search.

Workaround You can change the QMS port value to the IDOL query port to bypass QMS. To do this, follow these steps:

    # vi /opt/hp/propel/search/search.yml
  2. Search for "qms" in the "idol" section, and then modify the port value from the QMS port (16000 by default ) to the IDOL Server port (14000 by default) as in the following example:

    …
    qms:
       hostname: <IDOL server FQDN>
       port: 14000
       oemKey: <oemKey value>
       executionIsolationThreadTimeoutInMillis: 80000
       threadpool:
         threadPoolCoreSize: 10
         keepAliveTimeMinutes: 1
    …
    
  3. Run the following commands to restart the search service:

QCCR1E132020 Security

When FIPS mode is enabled (fipsmode:2 is specified in the sm.ini file), Service Manager initialization might be slow in Linux/Unix environments. This issue is caused by a lack of entropy (randomness) available on the system used for random number generation and can commonly occur on systems that are not receiving much direct user input, such as virtual machines.

Workaround You can direct the JVM to use /dev/urandom with the following directive:

Add the following line to the Server's sm.ini file:

-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom

Alternatively, you can add the following line to the jre/lib/security/java.security file:

securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom

For additional information, see the following important third-party information:

After you add the "Service Display Name" field to a Change view and specify the "Service" field as a group-by field, an error occurs and the view does not load when you sort the view by Service Display Name.

Workaround Add either the “Service” field or the “Service Display Name” field to both the view and the list of group-by fields.

Note that the “Service” field is preferred because this field is populated with CI Display Name values. There is no need to add the second level field, Service Display Name.

9.41 and patches

If your SQL Server database uses Unicode with a collation that does not support a specific language (for example, Latin1_General_100_BIN, which does not support Chinese), when you create an HTML Template with a name containing text in that language, save the template and open the template again by performing a search, the template name is displayed incorrectly – characters in that language are displayed as unrecognizable text.

Workaround Click Tailoring > Database Dictionary, search for "htmltemplates," click the htmlcode field, and then change the SQL RC value to "true."

If your SQL Server database uses Unicode with a collation that does not support a specific language (for example, Latin1_General_100_BIN, which does not support Chinese), when you create a knowledge document whose title contains characters in the unsupported language, the document is displayed correctly. However, if you search in the Knowledge Library using keywords from the document, the document is returned in the search results with characters in that language displayed as unrecognizable text.

Workaround Click Tailoring > Database Dictionary, search for "kmknowledgebaseupdates,"click the recdata field, and then change the SQL RC value to "True."

If you already have garbled data in your search results, perform a full index against that library.
