Impact Health Checker SSL Certificate check possible failure
Symptom:
Starting with Impact 7.1.0.32, the Health Checker is now performing a check of the SSL certificates to determine whether the certificates are expired.
The Health Checker logic is automatically executed when the Impact fix pack upgrade scripts update_*.bat|sh are used.
If the Health Checker fails due to the SSL Certificate checks, there could be a need to bypass the SSL certificate check.

Resolution:
Before the fix pack upgrade scripts update_*.bat|sh are run/re-run, set the following system environment variable:
impactbypasscertcheck=true

NOTE:
On Windows environments, make sure that after setting the environment variable, a new command window is open and confirming the "echo %impactbypasscertcheck%" command returns the value "true" before re-attempting to re-run the upgrade from that command window. On Unix environments, issue the following command, to confirm the property is set: echo $impactbypasscertcheck

Remove the environment variable "impactbypasscertcheck" after the upgrade has been completed!
JavaScript changes in Fix Pack 30
Symptom:
In Netcool/Impact Fix Pack 7.1.0.30, the Rhino JavaScript engine was updated to a new release. This change might affect how some of your JavaScript functions work.

Resolution:

New Chrome browser security feature shows "untrusted certificates" when using JazzSM
Symptom
When using JazzSM to access Impact via the latest Chrome release (v121.0.6167.86), Chrome erroneously shows an informational popup message
indicating the server might be using untrusted certificates.

Resolution
Known Issue DT270465 is currently open. For an interim fix, contact support. This issue will be addressed in the next release of JazzSM.

NOI Inference Service can exceed its memory limit resulting in a pod restart
