🆕 New features
Improvement to the Admin Password Reset Process
New password reset feature
If your password was changed by the existing Emergency Access feature, you are prompted to update it the first time you log in with a new password. This ensures only you know your current password and helps maintain account security.
Consistent FileShare Interop
A new reusable Network Location control is now available on the Log Export, Session Monitoring Archive feature, Backup Locations, and ColdSpare pages. This control makes working with external file shares simpler and more consistent. No matter where you set up a file share, you’ll see the same easy-to-use control. This creates a smoother, more predictable experience every time you connect to a file share.
✨ Enhancements
Updated error logging to include key information
Error logging has been improved across both .NET Core and .NET Framework services. When an error-level message is logged, key details (such as the message, service name, file path, line number, and timestamp) are now recorded in a central location. This enhancement makes it easier to search and review issues without digging through individual log files or folders.
🛠️ Issues resolved
| Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|
| On an unconfigured appliance, the /appliance home page is a blank page instead of warning page/Configuration wizard link. | Added that call to the ‘exception list’ in the gateway for calls that do not return 504/510. |
| Config Wizard skips over Configuration Status steps and redirecting to /WebConsole page. | Root cause was linked to localStorage "finalized" flag causing premature redirection. Clear cache early in deployment to prevent issue. |
| COLD SPARE- Wrong message displayed for backup password. | Message now states Password Required instead of Passwords Do Not Match. |
| COLD SPARE- Unable to change the password for a remote location while in Cold Spare. | Activate backup location tab in backup/restore while in cold spare. |
| System Access Service returns an error when attempting to delete a non-existent BIPS Database. | Delete the BI database before the last do it page is executed. Allow the wizard to run and apply settings. Ensure that the new BI DB is made. |
| If appliance is named using numbers only, the deploy wizard is unable to configure Phoenix. | Tool tip is updated to include what can be used for an appliance name. If user enters only numbers, an error appears beneath the Appliance Name field stating the name is invalid. |
| Current code allows the Create Certificate query to run without check. The customer runs an SQL command without cert name or subject. This causes issues when setting up HA. | Added validation for cert name to prevent error from occurring. |
| COLD SPARE- Discard Changes functionality is not implemented. | Button was available, but nothing happened when clicked. Functionality to discard changes has been added when button is clicked. |
| FEATURES - Session monitoring - typo on the Test Connection reply. | Corrected typo. |
| SECURITY UPDATES - UI artifact leftover when sizing columns. | Column header for the action column was not aligned. Found a way to override proper style after SCL v19.1 upgrade. |
| COLD SPARE - Windows share states that local path (C:\test) is invalid but the test connection is successful. | The test connection button now uses the same validation as the path validator. |
| COLD SPARE - Cold spare restores do not occur. | Corrected recurrence code related to removal of unsupported schedule frequencies and types. Removed redundant check for start time to be in the future validation on every schedule change. |
| Log File Export - Error message for failure. | Updated the error message to be more user-friendly. |
| CONFIG WIZARD - after getting timed out during the deploy, taken back to Appliance Name page. | Improved validation for authentication token. |
| BACKUPS - The scheduled backup during config sets to a day ahead of what was selected. | Corrected logic for setting the schedule. |
| Unnecessary information logged. | Updated logging functions to log necessary information only. |
| Improve appliance monitor acquiring dynamic counters on start up and change label. | Updated initialization code for labels. |
| SQL memory and Disk usage not matching within appliance webpage and vm appliance. | Label changed from Disk Free to Disk Space Used. |
| DEPLOY WIZARD - An error occurs trying to perform the internet connection test. | The framework that interacts with the user database was replaced to reduce instances of a locked database |
| COLD SPARE - Cold Spare feature not recognizing that a scheduled backup has been deactivated. | Can now edit cold spare settings when a backup schedule is disabled. |
| COLD SPARE- Missing Validation check for invalid characters on Cold Spare Feature. | Validation check has been implemented to check for invalid characters. |
| COLD SPARE - temporary server name field does not enforce the Windows server naming rules. | Added a validation check for Invalid characters on Cold Spare Feature. |
| UX - The UI is displaying the Navigate link on its own line when at our minimum supported resolution (1280 x 800). | Updated UI, Navigate no longer pushed to new line. |
| Create Backup Now: When scheduling options set, runs immediately. | Scheduling options are respected regardless of how the schedule was created. |
| Username not being properly read. | Username is displayed in Configuration Wizard after logging out and logging back in |
| Backslash () not handled properly on updating credentials for EPM. | Workaround when using : - Disable RPM DB Feature - Delete a record of existing EPM PMR Db ConnectionString (Ask BI team, maybe Sean MacLean, it is stored, hopefully in the registry) - Re-Enable EPM DB Feature with the password containing '', if needed |
| Backup components are not showing proper number format for Gigabytes. | Column header was changed to just “Size” and the space values specified indicate Bytes, KB, MB, or GB. |
| Non-standard port used for remote database is not sent to Secondary Appliance when HA is configured for services only synchronization. | Port value is now explicitly transferred from the Primary HA node to the Secondary. |
| HA - After failover SQL accounts for EPM database remain disabled on the new active appliance. | EPM accounts are no longer disabled after failover. |
| Backup/Restore: Could not find a part of the path issue. | More controls in place to ensure multiple backup jobs cannot be running at once. |
| Backup/Restore: 500 error when deleting backups consecutively in Backup/Restore. | Prevent simultaneous backup deletions. |
| Deactivated backup schedules are still firing after a service restart/reboot. | Backup schedule states are preserved after service restart. |
| FEATURES - EPM - The EPM reports are not visible after enabling the feature until an IISRESET is performed | Recycle WebConsoleAppPool when toggling EPM Privilege Management Reporting feature. |
| After a restore, changed BDA from OAuth to Central Policy, and cannot set Discovery back to OAuth | Workflow has been addressed to allow re-configuring to a different authentication type. |
