    ****************************************************************
    1. ABEND0C4 at startup of Query Monitor due not incorrect code
    path attempted.
    2. Incorrect operation of the data upload algorithm by the
    CQM@WDB2 program when using the FILTER_DB2_SUBSYSTEM parameter
    leads to an error 0C4.
    Incorrect operation of the connection algorithm to the Db2
    subsystem when a non-existing subsystem name was specified in
    the DB2_SUBSYSTEM(xxxx) parameter in the CQM@WDB2 program.
    3. java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError java error message is
    unnecessary as the error has no effect on watchdog startup.
    4. Due to the fact that each socket factory has its own
    encryption algorithm, CAE Portal could be started with wrong
    socket  factory after TCPIP stack restart. This issue causes
    CAE Agents to send corrupted announcements to CAE Server.
    5. IE and Google Chrome (Mozilla) have different interpretation
    of js code. One js module was not loaded in IE browser on
    "About" html page.
    6. Table header can shift on small screen resolutions when
    pressing 'Tab' through QM Subsystem Management panel.
    7. CAE Server does not clear values specified in "Specify
    TrustStore" window if we click Cancel button or Esc hotkey.
    Subsequent opening of this window leads to 'non blank' values
    in TrustStore fields.
    8. Clicking the 'Log In' button in Web client causes an
    incorrect layout of top menu bar ('Home' 'Alerts' 'Activity
    Browse').
    9. Agents might have been added twice into WAN model by
    different methods due to bad synchronization. As a result the
    user will get 'Ambiguous reference resolving Db2' error.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 1. Logic was changed to use the same path for
    STARTUP_DIAGNOSTICS as for SHUTDOWN_DIAGNOSTICS.
    2. Algorithms were fixed.
    3. java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError java error was suppressed in
    watchdog startup script.
    4. After TCPIP stack restart the CAE Portal reconnects with a
    proper socket factory opened on exactly the same port that it
    was before TCPIP stack restart.
    5. Changed js module loading in IE browser.
    6. Accessibility issue was fixed.
    7. Added additional 'clear' event while pressing Cancel
    button or Esc hotkey.
    8. Menu bar layout was fixed on logon html page.
    9. In order to fix the issue WAN is added into WANS map only
    when it is ready to be added (campus incorporated and agents
    are added).
