Known Issues

• Server: Long JUT records may be truncated:

  The Advanced Management Console server might not always be able to process all of the Java Usage Tracking records sent by the desktops. This shows up in the Advanced Management Console user interface (UI) under the Status tab, where a counter of Java Usage Rejected Records is provided. Java Usage Records can be rejected due to the following reasons:

  • Application access was denied (for instance, blocked by a deployment rule set rule). In this case, the Advanced Management Console server discards the corresponding Java Usage Tracker record.
  • Application name was empty in the Java Usage Tracker record.
  • Java Usage Tracker record separators are not the default ones and do not match those defined in the Configuration Settings from the Advanced Management Console UI.
  • Java Usage Tracker record was truncated. This might be due to a Windows configuration on the desktop limiting the size of the Java Usage Tracker records sent to the Advanced Management Console server. On Windows, this limit can be increased with the 'DefaultSendWindow' registry key.
  • Application uses a local URL.

• Server: When a Java version is removed, not all dependent entries are removed.

  Advanced Management Console assumes the support of foreign key constraints for MYSQL. MyISAM or NDB (cluster) storage engines for MySQL do not support foreign key constraints natively. Therefore, you must use either InnoDB or the new "Falcon" storage engine, which both support foreign key constraints. Starting with MySQL 5.5.5, the default engine is InnoDB; before MySQL 5.5.5, the default engine is MyISAM.

• Server: Advanced Management Console cannot use XA-enabled DataSource for Oracle Database.

  When a Data Source object is configured in WebLogic Server, the default is to use an XA-enabled Oracle Database driver. Advanced Management Console cannot work with this type of driver and generates an error similar to the following:

  SEVERE: ORA-02089: COMMIT is not allowed in a subordinate session

  Workaround: When you configure the Data Source object in WebLogic Server, make sure that you set Database Driver to a driver that is not XA-enabled.

• Client UI: Wrong network proxy setup is likely to cause delays when starting the Java Web Start applications that are provided with Advanced Management Console.

  An incorrectly configured network proxy can cause the Java Web Start applications for managing deployment rule sets and installer configurations to take a long time to start.

  Workaround: Correct the configuration of your network proxy.
