Defects Resolved
The following defects have been fixed in BMC Atrium Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2013-Jun-1
Case No | Defect No | Details | Product Page |
|---|---|---|---|
ISS04122320 | QM001790488 | Problem: No Hardware Reference Data for Sun Microsystems T5440 Solution: Added HRD for same | |
ISS04080582, ISS04092734, ISS04122971 | QM001780950 | Problem:When a vCenter cluster name changes, the ESXi stays linked to previous cluster nodes Solution: | |
ISS04097268 | QM001785434 | Problem: Containment relationship between Microsoft SharePoint Server SI and Microsoft SQL Server may not always be created Solution: Improved code that searches for and identifies related SQL Server instance | |
ISS04112316 | QM001790964, #TKU-1865 | Problem: Unoptimized search queries in patterns using Common_Functions and RDBMS_Functions Solution: Updated Common_Functions and RDBMS_Functions patterns with optimized search queries | Various |
ISS04138597 | QM001793128 | Problem:CMDB sync pattern that maps some Atrium Discovery CouplingFacility node attributes to BMC_MFCouplingFacility CI in Atrium CMDB does not set the correct value for the Type attribute (should set "Processing unit" instead of "Processing Unit") Solution: Correct value is now set. | |
- | #TKU-1845 | Problem: SI's product_version attribute contains words such as 'patch' and 'fixpack' Solution: Such words removed. | |
