.....................
Short Description: ADDITION OF A NEW DYNAMIC WATCH LISTS ENHANCEMENT
Summary:
There should be a way to easily move alerts into a temporary filter directly from the event viewer. This should support the following features:
1. Creating watch list filters based on existing alerts (i.e. based on node, alert group, summary) which include all future alerts of a similar form.
2. Display of all accessible watch list filters on a dynamically generated map.
3. Ability to delete watch lists from the event viewer.
4. Ability to create watch lists on a user or group level.
5. Ability to set an expire time for watch list filters.
This enhancement request originates from an RFE_ID=25368

.....................
Short Description: ADDITION OF AN ALERT QUICK FILTERING ENHANCEMENT TO THE EVENT VIEWER
Summary:
There is currently no way to quickly filter or search the currently displayed event list based on a custom search string. A feature should be
implemented which allows the operator to instantly filter the event list based on an entered string of text.

.....................
Short Description: WEBGUI TABLEVIEW SMARTPAGE COMMAND DOES NOT USE THE DATASOURCE PARAMETER
Summary:
When a smartpage is created using the TABLEVIEW command the parameter to specify the datasource is ignored.
If there are multiple datasources the default datasource is used and changing this setting does not change the used datasource.
If the default datasource is NCOMS and there is a datasource called RSCOMS the following will not use this datasource, while this is what should
happen and is desired.
<!--
insert:TABLEVIEW[filtername="AllEvents",filtertype="global",data
source="RSCOMS",maxrows="2"] -->

alm00295723 / IV43485
.....................
Short Description: SQL PARSER IN WEBGUI ISSUE
Summary:
There is an issue with the SQL parser in Web GUI which is easily reproducible by executing the following GET requests:
1) Register the filter
https://localhost:16411/ibm/console/webtop/TransientFilterRegisterService?filtername=itnmtest&sql=(NmosEntityId IN(123,345))&forceoverwrite=true&type=filter&format=xml
2) Get the filter status
https://localhost:16411/ibm/console/webtop/EventDataService?filtername=itnmtest&filtertype=user_transient&format=xml

Short Description: NEWLY CREATED USER CAN'T EXECUTE SQL TOOLS IN AEL UNTIL OS RESYNC HAPPEN.
Summary:
Newly created Web GUI User (with all role) unable to Acknowledge or any other SQL tools on events in AEL although Web GUI is using Object Server as
users repository. Unless OS-resync happen via waapi or auto re-sync happen.

alm00305114 / IV56253
.....................
Short Description: UNABLE TO HANDLE FIELD="" FOR RIGHT-CLICK TOOL
Summary:
When AlertGroup="" and try to launch keyword count tool, an error will occur: An error occurred during parameter conversion. The same error happens
if we customise the tool with additional field where the field is also empty. The above issue affected 2 tools (Keywords with search filter, Search
for similar events).

alm00307650 / IV59986
.....................
Short Description: TRANSIENT FILTERS NOT HANDLING INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS WHEN USING INTERNET EXPLORER
Summary:
When an AEL is launched with a transient filter (not pre-defined in the Filter Builder) using the IE browser, any international characters in the
string will not be handled/matched.  This could be seen, for example, by creating a Javascript tool that launches a new TIP page containing an AEL
and specifies a filter that the AEL should load.

alm00308904 / IV61098
.....................
Short Description: FIRST AND LAST NAMES ARE NOT DISPLAYED CORRECTLY IN USER LIST WHEN COMMA IS PRESENT
Summary:
When customer creates a new user on TIP GUI and includes comma character in the first or last names, the names are not displayed correctly in TIP
user list. The user repository used is ObjectServer.

alm00309393 / IV61617
.....................
Short Description: WEB GUI DATA PROVIDER SHOULD HIDE UNSUPPORTED TOOL TYPES
Summary:
In the Web GUI (CURI) data provider, all "events" datasets contains task definitions, which results in a right-click menu appearing when the dataset
is populating a TWL widget in DASH, such as a table widget. The right-click menu represents the Web GUI "alerts" menu.
However, TWL table widgets do not support all the different tool types which Web GUI Event Viewer supports. Examples of tools which will not work in
a TWL widget are command tools, and prompted tools. Such tasks should be removed from the menu so that they are not available, unless using Event
Viewer.

alm00309395 / IV61622
.....................
Short Description: UNABLE TO DISPLAY GAUGE WITH WEIGHTED AVERAGE METRICS
Summary:
Gauge page displays an error message: An error occurred during processing of Metric Data Service Request: null.
When one of the Metrics defined was using "Weighted Average" function and the Gauge portlet is configured with Multiple Data Source Function.

alm00309397 / IV61623
.....................
Short Description: FIXED CHOICE PROMPT WITH NON-UNIQUE LABEL/VALUE CHOICES RESULTS IN UNEXPECTED OUTPUT
Summary:
When configuring Fixed Choice prompt with non-unique values provided for either the label or the value choices, the resulting output in the Event
Viewer shows a single menu item for the non-unique label at the bottom of the choices list.

alm00309552 / IV61742
.....................
Short Description: THREAD COUNT KEPT INCREASING WHEN WEBGUI FAILS TO CONNECT TO FAILOVER OBJECTSERVER PAIR
Summary:
Web GUI thread count kept increasing when Primary and Backup ObjectServer pair are both unreachable. netstat output does not show any connection in
TIME_WAIT state.
The issue does not occur if either ObjectServer is up or in a stand-alone ObjectServer configuration.

alm00309813 / IV61999
.....................
Short Description: EVENTVIEWER.JSP URL DECODING OF QUERY PARAMETERS DOES NOT CORRECTLY DECODE '+' CHARACTERS TO SPACES.
Summary:
In order to close a JavaScript injection issue with the eventViewer.jsp page (and other JSP pages for the AEL, etc) a change has been made in the
extraction and decoding of query parameters.
9. Issues and Enhancements addressed in 8.1.0.2 and its extension for Netcool Operations Insight
=================================================================================================
alm00315484 / IV70437
.....................
Short Description: NEW EVENT VIEWER CAPABILITY IN WEB GUI BASE OFFERING
Summary:
The Event Viewer has been enhanced to provide the following features:
- Ability to integrate and display events from multiple data sources.
- Operators may now apply any of their views using a selector on the toolbar.
- Operators may edit the applied filter and view in situation using new options on the toolbar and menubar.
- Improved selection support to allow information and journals to be viewed concurrently for all selected events.
  All selected rows may now be copied to the system clipboard.
- Ability to execute custom tools by clicking a row in the event viewer.
- Ability to configure a transient filter in the portlet preferences.
- A new menu bar option to provide access to commonly used features and custom tools.
- Information and journal windows retain their size and position when closed and re-opened.
- Column heading alignment is now based on the view configuration.
- Reduced latency via an improved refresh algorithm so that only new and changed events are requested
  from the ObjectServer rather then the entire data set.

alm00315463 / IV70427
.....................
Short Description: NEW EVENT ANALYTICS CAPABILITY IN WEB GUI EXTENSION OFFERING
Summary:
Netcool Operations Insight Extensions for IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI has been enhanced to add an analytical capability to be able to identify
correlated events and group them as parent-child in the Event Viewer.
Related Event Analytics uses statistical analysis of IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus historical event data to determine which events have a statistical
tendency to occur together. The results of this analysis are output on a scheduled basis as event groups. You can use the related events UI to analyze
these event groups. Validated event groups can be deployed with a single click as Netcool/Impact correlation rules, without the need to write any
code. Correlation rules that are generated in this way act on real-time event data to show a single synthetic event for the events in the event group.
All events in the group are presented as children of this synthetic event, with that decreasing the number of events that are presented to your
operations staff in the Event Viewer.

alm00282822 / IV30477
.....................
Short Description: WEBGUI731 : AEL DOES NOT RESPOND TO TIP FAILOVER AS EXPECTED
Summary:
The AEL client did not recognise the TIP server failover when configured in a high-availability configuration.
Sometimes the client would recognise the failover, but usually it would not, and the whole interface was stalled until the session timeout of 30
minutes was reached

alm00294671 / IV41869
.....................
Short Description: PREUPGRADE.SH PICKS UP BACKUP DIRECTORIES AND FILES
Summary:
The preupgrade.sh script is picking up backup files and directories not actually in live use by WebGUI and exporting them to upgradeData.zip. This is
increasing the likelihood that the upgradeData.zip will be much larger than necessary, which can in turn lead to problems when running upgrade.sh to
import the data

alm00297157 / IV45221
.....................
Short Description: COLUMN NAMES IN AEL ARE NOT TRANSLATED
Summary:
Column names in AEL are not translated to other languages. This is because the columnheadings files of all languages have only english and there are
no translations to respective languages in those files.

alm00302270 / IV53005
.....................
Short Description: CGI SCRIPT FAILS TO TRANSFER FULL PDF FILES
Summary:
Invoking the CGI/perl script that downloads a binary file through the browser (typically by using the "attachment" header and a binary MIME type)
will download a corrupted file, missing the first 8kb approximately.
The same behavior applies for any content declared as binary in the headers, even if the file is actually text.

alm00302545 / IV53460
.....................
Short Description: MISLEADING ERROR MESSAGE IF JUSTIFY ATTRIBUTE IS ADDED FOR ELEMENT BUTTON IN WAAPI CREATEMAP
Summary:
Invoking a WAAPI method call for a Map, containing an element
(e.g. a button) with a non-compliant attribute (e.g. "justify") will display the following ambiguous WAAPI error message:
WAAPIClient: Invalid XML - line [x]. Attribute [attribute name] must be declared for element type [element name].

alm00304094 / IV55075
.....................
Short Description: USE OF THE RESTRICTPASSWORDS PROPERTY IS NOT POSSIBLE WHEN USING USER SYNCHRONIZATION WITH WEBGUI AND LDAP
Summary:
WebGUI VMMSYNC to ObjectServer failed with "ERROR=Password does not meet the restriction requirements."error when RestrictPasswords was turned on
at ObjectServer.

alm0000308521 / IV60657
.....................
Short Description: CHANGE THE AEL ERROR MESSAGE WHEN APPLYING A NON-EXISTING FILTER
Summary:
Opening AEL using unregistered or non existing filter will result "Filter 'TestFilter' of category '{1}' not found." error (as per designed).
However the 2nd parameter ('{1}') was not resolved to display category of the filter. The reason is the current message formatting doesn't not
support formatted message with more than one parameters.

alm00311692 / IV64503
.....................
Short Description: NOT POSSIBLE TO LOAD A NEW EVENT DASHBOARD WITHOUT ALL GLOBAL FILTERS
Summary:
Event Dashboard is having performance issue when loading big number of filters (e.g. more than 700 filters) depend on clients environment capability.
The Event Dashboard seems hang and the CPU usage is continuously high. While RFE 55292 have been submitted to get higher performance Event Dashboard,
there is no easy workaround for existing user that already have huge number of filters to configure the newly created Event Dashboard to load filters
lower than recommended number(i.e. 700 filters).
Note, the newly created Event Dashboard will load all global filters, hence caused user not able to proceed to edit mode.

alm00311970 / IV64825
.....................
Short Description: ALARMS ARE NOT ABLE TO SHOW IN EVENT VIEWER IF THE VALUE OF A FIELD HAS CHINESE CHARACTERS
Summary:
Initiating an EventViewer request whose condition contains non-ASCII characters will not display any result even if the condition should match a set
of events.
For instance, when the location for a subset of events is in Chinese and those events are grouped by location, clicking on the location in the left
pane of the EventViewer will not display any event ("no events found" in the right pane), where it actually should.

alm00311990 / IV64891
.....................
Short Description: DO NOT RESYNC WHEN USER LIST DOES NOT CONTAIN LDAP USERS
Summary:
DO NOT RESYNC WHEN USER LIST DOES NOT CONTAIN LDAP USERS

alm00312075 / IV64987
.....................
Short Description: CREATING A MAP USING WAAPI CONTAINING SYSTEM AND GLOBAL FILTERS WITH A SINGLE MISSING FILTER CAUSES MULTIPLE FILTERS TO FAIL
Summary:
A Map containing a widget referencing the Active Event List with a filter that does not exist (i.e. either incorrectly referenced through WAAPI or
erased) will grey out a number of non-problematic widgets, or even all of them according to order in which the widgets were created.
The console at the bottom of the Map will display the following message:
    "An error occurred during processing of Event Summary Data Service Request:'null'".

alm00312286 / IV65304
.....................
Short Description: CREATEORREPLACECGI ADDS FULL CGI FILE PATHWAY TO THE CGI REGISTRY INSTEAD OF JUST THE FILE NAME
Summary:
Modifying an existing CGI script through WAAPI while referencing it with an absolute path will cause subsequent attempts to execute the CGI script
to fail with a "file not found" error message.

alm00313667 / IV67094
.....................
Short Description: COLUMNS NOT IN THE DATASET FOR WIDGETS
Summary:
Web GUI view. However, this can happen if the user configures a DASH table widget based on a particular Web GUI view, and then later on removes a
column from the view. In this instance, the DASH widget continues to request information for the now-missing column.
This results in Web GUI throwing an exception, resulting in many stack traces in the DASH/TIP log file - potentially hundreds per minute, depending
on how much data is in the dataset, for which the widget requires data.
If there are thousands as there can be then there is a slim chance of a performance degradation.

alm00313639 / IV67079
.....................
Short Description: THE AEL APPLETS FAIL TO LOAD WHEN OPENING A PAGE CONTAINING MULTIPLE AEL APPLETS
Summary:
AEL applets not able to run and error message printed when multiple applets configured on the same Start-Up page. Java Console reported
IllegalStateException at the first line of the trace log.
alm00311204 / IV63370
.....................
Short Description: WEBGUI7.4.0.3(FP): SHOW/HIDE SYSTEM FILTER SHOULD BE CONSISTENT FOR ALL AEL
Summary:
Currently the AEL and Event Viewer provide users the ability to
show/hide system filters via a checkbox in the portlet preferences edit page. However this functionality does not affect AELs that are loaded from
Event Dashboards or Maps. Users require the same functionality across all AEL so that admin users may choose whether or not to display system filters
in the filter drop down list in the toolbar.
alm313594 / IV67035
.....................
Short Description: SELECT MULTIPLE EVENTS IN AEL NOT WORKING CORRECTLY
Summary:
When holding down the CTRL Key and clicked on multiple events (more then three)to selected them, only three events highlighted and Information
windows open up by it self without double click on the event.

alm00313896 /IV67435
.....................
Short Description: INEFFICIENCIES IN DATASOURCE CONNECTION POOL WORKFLOW
Summary:
Inefficiencies in the workflow of the datasource thread connection pool are leading to hung threads when WebGUI issues a sustained high number of
queries to the object server.
Two issues have been identified:
  1)  The retry logic. Threads are trying twice to make a connection to the datasource primary before failing over.  The second try is doubling the
      waiting time and is unnecessary.
  2)  Synchronisation. Closed connections to the object server are sometimes neither being returned to the connection pool nor
      passed to waiting queries.

alm00313932 /IV67438
.....................
Short Description: AEL - INFO - FIELD AND VALUE VALUES ARE NOT ALIGNED WHEN SELECTING THE FIRST FIELD AND USING THE ARROW DOWN KEY
Summary:
When an AEL Information window is open, on the Fields tab if the Field column (first column) is selected and the user scrolls down using the arrow
keys from keyboard, only the Field column will move. The Value column does not move.
alm00313932 /IV67980
.....................
Short Description: WEBGUI SCRIPT TOOL DOES NOT HONOUR THE DEFINED DATASOURCES WHEN MULTIPLE DATASOURCES ARE IN AEL
Summary:
When the syntax $selected_rows is used as part of the command syntax in a Script Tool and run on rows of events in AEL comprising from multiple
datasources, the Script Tool will only return data from the first serial from one datasource only, effectively ignoring all other rows.
alm00314524 / IV68659
.....................
Short Description: FILTER.ADDFILTER FAILS TO EXECUTE WHEN THE FILTER AND VIEW ARE BOTH OF TYPE 'USER'
Summary:
Waapi user cannot add filter when viewtype is user and type is user.

Short Description: WEBGUI8.1 : FIX PACK 1 CREATES UNEXPECTED EMPTY WINDOWS DIRECTORY
Summary:
The installer creates a log directory during install/update, in a strange location based on the default "windows location" value in
OMNIbusWebGUI.properties in <omnibus_webgui>/bin is created on Unix system. Although, no functional impact, but this looks untidy.

Short Description: NEW ENHANCEMENTS TO EVENT ANALYTICS CAPABILITY IN WEB GUI EXTENSION OFFERING
Summary:
Netcool Operations Insight Extensions for IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus
Web GUI has been enhanced to provide 3 main features.
- Single UI for configuring Seasonal and Related Event Configurations until previous release the user would have to create 2 separate configurations
for seasonality and related events. This Fix Pack merges the 2 UIs and hence it, making it possible to create both configurations from a single UI.
This provides simplicity and consistency.
- Integration between Seasonal and Related Events.
  This feature provides a way of viewing whether the seasonal  event does have a related event associated with it.
- Define set of automated actions when the seasonal/related events occur in the live environment.This feature provides a capability to create a rule
to take some predefined actions when the seasonal event occurs in the live environment. Additionally, it is also possible to drill into the
historical events behind the seasonal event, which is very useful for investigation purposes.

alm00322032 / IV82833
.....................
Short Description: NEW EVENTS PATTERN ENHANCEMENTS TO EVENT ANALYTICS CAPABILITY IN WEB GUI EXTENSION OFFERING
Summary:
Netcool Operations Insight Extensions for IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI has been enhanced to provide the "Events Pattern" feature.
"Events Pattern" provides more sophisticated grouping capability than the "Related Events" alone.
A pattern describes a set of events that are related (they always occur together), but is not specific
to the resource (server, interface etc) that the events occur on.
Below are the benefits of using an "Event Pattern":
 - Provides grouping of events based on the event type on multiple resources
 - Less patterns to manage since it can cover multiple discovered groups
 - Can be used to group under most important event in the Event Viewer

.....................
Short Description: AEL DISPLAY OCCASIONALLY TURNS GREY
Summary:
When the applet is initialized with a transient filter, a new event data refresh thread is spawned as part of the update of the filter drop down.
Usually. this takes longer to complete than the rest of the applet initialization, but under certain conditions it does not. Under this condition,
the internal list of sort columns does not get updated until the next refresh, which causes a disconnect between the incoming data and the column
names.
The visible result is that the event list will appear grey and double clicking an alert with either:
  1. Open the details for a different alert which has a serial matching the severity of the original
  2. Give an error (if there are no alerts with a serial matching the severity of the original)

In turn, this can lead to Web GUI persisting malformed XML representing views in the local file system.

Short Description: DEPENDENTCY FILTER DIDN'T DISPLAY IN THE DEPENDENT FILTER
Summary:
In certain cases (e.g. importing dependent filters from a Web GUI to another), the order of persistence between a dependent filter and its
dependencies does not allow to resolve the dependencies for that dependent filter, as the dependencies are persisted after the dependent filter.
This causes a failure at de-serialization, where the dependencies cannot be resolved. Both the dependent filter and any dependency will be loaded,
but the relationship between the dependent filter and its dependencies is lost.

Short Description: NEW ENHANCEMENTS TO EVENT ANALYTICS CAPABILITIES IN WEB GUI EXTENSION OFFERING
Summary:
Netcool Operations Insight Extensions for IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI has been enhanced to improve some of the existing features.
- The confidence level shown on the View Seasonal Events page will now show as High/Medium/Low instread of showing the values in percentage. This
makes it easier for the users to understand which seasonal events to look at.
- Improvements to the Related Event Details page.
When there are large number of events that causes the timeline chart to show scrollbars, and when the user scrolls down the list, the scale at the
top scrolls out of the view. This makes is slightly difficult to understand the deviation of events from the pivot event.We have now made the scale
fixed so that the scale is still visible when user is scrolling down the timeline chart.
In the previous release the scale on the timeline chart used to show the time as hh:mm:ss, now it to shows the time in either hours,minutes or
seconds depending on the deviation of other events from the pivot event. Additionally, have also provided some help tooltip which makes it easier
to understand the timeline chart

Short Description: THE "ALL" VS "ANY" LOGIC IN TOOL DEFINITION FORMS DOES NOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN TOP LEVEL AND NESTED CONDITIONS
Summary:
The fix introduced by APAR IV83183 has a known regression. As it enforces the "ALL" boolean operator for all access criteria and all multiple
values, it fixes an issue where the "!=" operator would not be applied to all values in conjunction with the "ALL" boolean operator.
However, with the "=" equality operator, that fix would evaluate all values with "ALL", which does not make sense since a given event will
only have one value.
This fix enforces the exception above: if an access criterion uses "ALL" and "=", multiple values will be treated with the "ANY"
boolean operator.

Short Description: NON-ADMIN USER CAN MODIFY GLOBAL VIEW EVEN THOUGH USERS.GLOBAL.VIEW.MODE IS 0
Summary:
There is a narrow security issue, where a non-administrative user (with no "ncw_admin" role) can be made able to edit a global view, even if the
"users.global.view.mode" property is set to 0 in the "server.init" file (it does default to 1).
When the "users.global.view.mode" property is set to 0, non-administrative users are not supposed to be able to edit and save global views.
However, due to an error in the conversion of the view type in the editor forms, there is a way for a non-administrative user to edit a global
view anyway.

alm00322196 / IV83183
.....................
Short Description: FIELD ACCESS CRITERIA INCORRECTLY APPLIED
Summary:
The "any" VS "all" boolean operator (equivalent to boolean "AND" vs "OR") used to define the behavior of access criteria does not apply to
multiple values for a given access criterion.
Therefore, given a "Class" multi-value of "X" and "Y", with the non-equality operator set ("!=") and the "ALL" boolean operator set, a tool will
still be available in the Event Viewer if it has either Class X or Y, because the evaluation treats the values as "ANY" (read: if the event has
class "X", the condition for "not class Y" applies and returns true, and vice-versa).
This fix ensures that the "ALL" boolean operator is evaluated for multiple values as well.
There is a known regression, with the "=" equality operator: since an event can't have multiple values for a given field (e.g. "Class"), when
"ALL" and "=" is used in the same access control, applying to multiple field values, the tool will not be available for any given event.
This regression is addressed by internal APAR IV84185, in which a multi-valued field will automatically apply the "any" condition regardless
of the actual setting, only if the "=" equality operator is set.
See also a documentation APAR (IV84592), to amend the information on the following page:
[https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSHTQ_8.1.0/com.ibm.netcool_OMNIbus.doc_8.1.0/webtop/wip/task/web_cust_createtools.html?lang=en]
The reason for the DOC APAR is that AEL is not compatible with the "!=" operator, whereas Event Viewer supports both "=" and "!=".
The documentation will also update to reflect the functional changes as per APARs IV83183 (this APAR) and IV84185.

Short Description: IN WEBGUI 8.1 SYSTEMOUT.LOG SHOW ERRORS RELATED TO BREEZE.CSS WHEN EVENT VIEWER IS OPENED.
Summary:
Due to changes in DASH theme names, the style resources Web GUI fetches in a number of server pages are  not present anymore.
This in turn is intercepted at servlet filter level and fills the logs with FileNotFoundException s at each page load (e.g. Event Viewer, Event
Properties, etc.). There is no regression on the visual side, as the inherited style somehow palliates for the lack of specific resources, and
this does not disrupt Web GUI's functionality in any noticeable way.

Short Description: LINES LIGHTWEIGHT MAPS ARE DISPLAYED INCORRECTLY
Summary:
The framework used to render Lightweight Maps (SVG) will move a line on the X axis based on a specific algorithm.
This algorithm is not particularly well documented at the time of writing, and the resulting transformation might appear as arbitrary - it also does
not match the algorithm used by applet-based Maps.
The required transformation uses different factors for lines, resulting in different algorithms:
* whether the line is "active" (representing a filter) or "static"
* whether the line is thicker than 3 pixels
* whether the line is vertical, horizontal, or oblique
The fix generally ensures that lines drawn for maps originally designed to be displayed in applet mode render as close as possible to the original in
Lightweight maps.

The algorithm that "pages" the results of prompt values available from the Event Viewer's menus in 15 items sub-menus (in order not to clutter a single
sub-menu) fails to correctly add all the prompt choices - namely it omits the last choice in order of sorting when the total number of items is not a
multiple of 15 (the number 15 is an arbitrary value used to page the items).

in the classpath is excessive, and will cause Web GUI's persistence configuration to fail upon startup.
In turn, this will prevent any modification to the elements that are synced by the High Availability framework, such as filters, views, etc. as the
synchronization doesn't work(the persistence entities are not enhanced, therefore they aren't recognized by the JPA implementation).

Short Description: EVENT LIST SHOW BLANK / TAKING A BIT OF TIME WHEN UPDATE OR SORT
Summary:
Data is getting compressed via standardized gzip mechanism which reduces the size of data to be transferred when a CURI call is made; thereby
improving performance.
- For optimal performance with the Dashboard Application Services Hub CURI runtime environment, you can configure gzip compression.
The compression mechanism requires a patch from DASH. The patch can be found at the location listed below. Once the package is downloaded, unzip it
and follow the instructions in the ReadMe_DASH313_gzip.txt; that is found within the zip.
For more information about this gzip configuration, go to
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/groups/service/html/communityview?communityUuid=69ec672c-dd6b-443d-add8-bb9a9a490eba#fullpageWidgetId=W31c1aa6dacd6_47ab_9607_0b3e5632d351&file=a17e6dcb-b793-4af1-a584-877b1c3639ef

Short Description: OTHER ENHANCEMENTS AND NEW FEATURES
Summary:
- Configurable number of events
  ==============================
  The number of events per request can now be configured in the Event Viewer. This allows more events to be stored in the Event Viewer and lowers
  the number of requests which need to be made to retrieve new data.
- Map Editor can be launched via Java Webstart
  ============================================
  Applet support is being deprecated by browsers. The new enhancements allow the user to launch the Map Editor via Java Webstart. This allows the
  Map Editor to run outside the browser context.
- Usability improvements in basic filter tab of Filter Builder GUI
  ================================================================
  RFE 97044: Previously the administrator had to type in values by checking the alerts.conversions table while creating basic filter condition with
  the fields which have conversion values. With the improvements, administrators are able to choose from the drop down list of auto populated user
  friendly values for the fields which have conversion values in alerts.conversions table.
- Omnitools replacement for execution of Local tools in Event Viewer
  ==================================================================
  Due to the growing security concerns over plugins and end of support for NPAPI plugins in Firefox browsers, the Omnitools plugin is replaced with
  a new mechanism which allows the user to download a tool command file and execute it manually.
  This allows the user to view the file and then execute the tool.

Short Description: WebGUI WAAPI method menu.addItems must only add item if not exist in the menu
Summary: Currently, NOI cloud system uses 2 WAAPI calls, ie. menu.removeItems and menu.addItems, to add LaunchRunbook and SearchHumio tools during pod restart. Of which the "Alerts" menu may be corrupted with nested alert menu(s). The WAAPI method, menu.addItems, must only add item, eg. tool, if it's not already exists in the menu.
