QCCR1H120605

After UCMDB server is restarted, scheduled report is still sent even after the scheduler is deleted.

Workaround Restart CMS UI.

QCCR1H114723 The notification message from the CMS UI module Package Manager may display date time format incorrectly on non-English UI. This is a third-party limitation as date time is formatted by the Notification component from Grommet.
N/A

(Internet Explorer 11 only) When using Internet Explorer 11, only one UCMDB Browser widget can be added to the Home page. Otherwise, CMS UI might get stuck due to memory leaks.

Workaround To add more than one UCMDB Browser widget to the Home page, use a different supported web browser.

N/A

When hovering the mouse over the label of a CI in the Topology Map, the tooltip with the full name of the Display Label attribute is not displayed.

Workaround Hover the mouse over the icon of a CI.

N/A

After grouping the CIs in the Topology Map by CI Type, the magnification level of the Topology Map cannot be changed. Also, this applies to the dragging option too.

Workaround To change the magnification level of the Topology Map, or to be able to drag the view, make sure that the Layout Settings () is closed. Otherwise the view is set to Fit to screen.

QCCR1H116886 In certain non-English environments of CMS UI, some strings on the Home page are not translated into proper languages.
QCCR1H118145 The date and time format is incorrect on the page where you edit UCMDB integration point population jobs in non-English versions of Integration Studio in CMS UI.
QCCR1H118146 The date and time format is incorrect on the page where you edit the details of UCMDB integration point population jobs in non-English versions of Integration Studio in CMS UI.
QCCR1H120235

QCCR1H120491

CMS UI does not work properly in a multi-customer environment.

Workaround None for this release.

QCCR1H119301

"There is no data available for this report" message is displayed for individual default report widgets (such as Installed Software) on the Home page. It is highly possible that the reports are querying over a large amount of data from the UCMDB server which exceeds the maximum number of elements allowed in view, and you may find "server view query over limit" error in log.

Workaround To resolve the display issue, go to UCMDB UI > Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager, locate the Maximum number of elements (nodes) in TQL result for view setting (default value: 30000) and increase its value to meet your need.

QCCR1H104135

On Mozilla Firefox, the plug-in container for Firefox stops working and sometimes, when clicking Logout, nothing happens. This is a known issue with Mozilla Firefox ESR 38.4 (JavaScript garbage collection crash with Java applet).

Workaround Use a different supported Firefox version.

QCCR1H113157

The language of the system categories is the one used when the CMS UI is deployed. This is because the system categories are deployed only once, on the first login, using the current locale. On subsequent logins, the system categories are not re-deployed, so the name is not updated either.

Workaround To change the language of the system categories:

  1. Stop the Tomcat.
  2. Change the locale.
  3. Restart the Tomcat.

Note If you change the language, all the users that are connected to the same CMS UI instance will view the system categories with the updated language.

QCCR1H114520

LW-SSO fails to work with CMS UI.

Workaround If you deploy CMS UI in your own Tomcat, for Tomcat 8 the following line should be added to the <Tomcat_installation_folder>/conf/context.xml file:

<CookieProcessor className="org.apache.tomcat.
util.http.LegacyCookieProcessor" />
QCCR1H111354

(Safari only) The export of reports/CIs/widgets in the PDF format does not work on Safari.

Workaround Check the address bar and if it is marked with Pop-ups blocked, allow the pop-ups for this site.

QCCR1H112827

When a UCMDB server is reconfigured to use a new schema, the new schema has the OOTB packages deployed at the UCMDB server startup. If a standalone CMS UI is already connected to the UCMDB server, the CMS UI's packages are not present in the new schema.

Workaround Restart the CMS UI Tomcat in order for the CMS UI's packages to be redeployed on the new schema.

QCCR1H113171

Sometimes, when SSL is configured and OpenJDK is used, the CMS UI may become unresponsive. This is because the hand shake between the CMS UI server and the browser client fails due to unnamed elliptic curve algorithm.

Workaround Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  • If Tomcat is started by invoking .\ucmdbbrowser\bin\startup.bat:

    1. Create the setenv.bat file (if one has not already been created).
    2. Type the following line in the setenv.bat file:

      set CATALINA_OPTS=–Dcom.sun.net.ssl.enableECC=false

      Caution Do not use a copy-and-paste operation to add the above line to the file. Type every character one by one.

      Note If the variable CATALINA_OPTS already exists, just append the –Dcom.sun.net.ssl.enableECC=false value to the variable.

    3. Restart the Tomcat server.

  • If Tomcat is started as a service:

    1. Run the CMS-Browserw.exe file (or the tomcat7w.exe file).

    2. In the dialog box that opens, go to the Java tab, and add –Dcom.sun.net.ssl.enableECC=false in the Java Options container.

    3. Restart the Tomcat server.

QCCR1H107689 Currently it is not possible to load the federated CITs' icons from the remote server.
QCCR1H110354

On Internet Explorer 11, sometimes the loading animations get stuck.

Workaround Restart Internet Explorer.

QCCR1H111026

The port number of CMS UI URL changes to 8143 when Configuration Manager 10.22 is connected to UCMDB Server 10.30, resulting that the CMS UI is no longer available.

After Configuration Manager is installed, CMS UI URL becomes https://<server name or IP address>.<domain name>:8143/ucmdb-browser/, which is the URL of the CMS UI embedded in CM.

Workaround After Configuration Manager is installed, make sure you change the port number of CMS UI URL from 8143 back to 8443 (go to UCMDB UI > Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager, locate the UCMDB Browser URL setting by searching Name with a keyword Browser, and then change the port number from 8143 to 8443 and save the change.

QCCR1H111352

Sometimes, the export of a report fails with the following error message: "Cannot initialize class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser".

Workaround Restart the CMS UI server.

QCCR1H110609

The View Discovery Log action in the Discovery Progress Widget is supported only with one of the following web browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 or later versions, Google Chrome latest versions, and Mozilla Firefox latest versions. This is because Grommet does not provide support for other web browsers.

QCCR1H111482

CMS UI does not support the Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) header in Internet Explorer for the widgets that can be directly embedded into Micro Focus Service Manager.

Workaround Follow these steps to open in the Internet Explorer the widgets that can be directly embedded into Micro Focus Service Manager:

  1. Assign the CMS UI and the Service Manager to the same domain.
  2. Add the CMS UI and the Service Manager in the hosts file.
  3. Configure the CMS UI URL with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN ).
QCCR1H106412

Currently, in the Get Related Map, the double relations between two related CIs are displayed as a single relation.

QCCR1H108187 Currently, when more than 1000 CIs are displayed in the Get Related Map, you might encounter a performance issue.
QCCR1H107420 To view the TQLs for SM widgets (Defects widget, Incidents widget, and Change Request widget) in UCMDB, go to the JMX console, set the value of the ucmdb_browser.query_services JMX method to true, and then restart the CMS UI.
QCCR1H104887 To view the error messages related to probe's issues under Probe Errors discovery issues type in the UCMDB Browser module, after upgrading UCMDB to version 10.22, manually redeploy the AutoDiscoveryInfra package located in the <UCMDBServer>\content\basic_packages directory.
QCCR1H104553 There are times when a CI that is not visible in the Service Modeling map, has a Discovery Indicator. When this happens, the indicator appears on all the CIs that are in the map and have a direct or indirect link to the CI that is not visible.
N/A Currently it is not possible to create two service models with the same name in the UCMDB Browser module, even if different tenants are used. This is because the Views that the service models use as resources must have a unique name.
QCCR1H99251 If accessing the UCMDB Browser module from Configuration Manager, you might not be able to use a lot of features like Notification and Reports.
QCCR1H92299

For exporting the Stakeholder widget, when the Person CIT has an avatar image set and the CMS UI is behind a proxy, the exported document will not contain the avatar image, instead the default image is used for that person.

This is because the Java Environment on which the server runs cannot access the image. On the Web Browser, the configurations are set inside the LAN Settings, so the link can be accessed.

QCCR1H99461

UCMDB Browser 4 may not load on Internet Explorer 9 or 10 when Check for newer versions of stored pages is set.

Workaround In case you use Internet Explorer 9 or 10, set Check for newer versions of stored pages to Automatically. To do that, in the Internet Explorer window, go to Tools > Internet Options > General, and then in the Browsing history section, go to Settings.

QCCR1H94718 Browser CI Access Control permissions only apply when a user is connected in Actual state.
N/A

If many users run reports simultaneously, and those reports contain many results, there will be increased memory usage on the CMS UI web server (Tomcat or Jetty).

Workaround To decrease the load on the web server, do one of the following:

  • Increase the maximum heap memory size on the web server.
  • Decrease the session timeout specified in the web.xml file.
  • Set up high availability to spread the load over multiple CMS UI instances. For more information, see Configure High Availability Mode.
  • Instruct users to log out after finishing to work with the CMS UI.
