Known Issues

In MediationZone 9.2, there are the following known issues:

Installation and Upgrade Issues

Unable to change platform database after installation

It is not possible to change platform database after the installation is completed which used to be a feature that available since 8.x. This issue will be fixed in future releases.

Installation Is Not Possible if MZ_HOME Path Contains a Folder Name with Spaces

If the MZ_HOME path contains spaces the installation will fail. Please ensure the MZ_HOME does not contain any spaces before installing.

XE-8655

Installation isn't possible if MZ_HOME path contains a folder name with spaces

Installation is Reported as Successful Even if the Platform Fails to Start

In some circumstances during installation the installer may report as successful when the platform has not started.

Warning Messages Displayed During Installation

When the user performs “setup.sh prepare”, a warning message “setSecurityManager will be removed in a future release" is displayed. This does not impact functionality of MZ 9 installation and will be handled in future versions of MZ.

Error Occurs When Performing Multiple Installations on a Host with Different UNIX User IDs

The /tmp/syslog/syslog-debug.log file is created when a host machine contains an MZ 9 installation. This file will be overwritten by any subsequent MZ 9 installations that are performed on the same host machine with a different UNIX user ID. However, the attempt to overwrite this file will fail and cause errors to the subsequent installations.

To solve this issue, modify the platform.xml file setting by using the mzsh topo open platform command. Edit the platform.xml file, and change the directory to use another directory using the following command: <property name="mz.syslog.debuglogfile.filedir" value="[the directory]"/>.

The filtering for the source_node and message fields in the Data Veracity Search & Repair table are case-sensitive.

Data Veracity Filter's Full Query Is Not Available on Desktop

The full filter query for Data Veracity is not available for viewing on the Desktop. A partial display of the query can be seen in the filter listing under Data Veracity > Filter listing.

Adding an Empty Query Group With A Parent Condition In Data Veracity Search & Repair Filter Will Result In An Error

Attempting to add an empty query group with a parent condition will cause an error to be thrown upon clicking OK. A sample of the query setup is shown below.

Importing Old Data Veracity Collection Agent Workflow Configurations Returned Validation Errors

If you have an old Data Veracity Collection Agent Workflow configuration from version 8.x, it is possible that validation errors about invalid Analysis Agents may occur.

Example error during import:

The following agents returned validation errors.
Analysis_1 is invalid.
The UDR type DataVeracityUDR (DataVeracity) doesn't exist

Example error when viewing the invalid workflow Analysis Agent configuration:

Error: Failed to set UDR Types
 
Message: Unable to create UDR type description from DataVeracityUDR (DataVeracity).

To resolve this, you will need to re-add the Data Veracity UDR for Analysis Agent input UDR Types or use the Set To

Input button if applicable. After adding the appropriate Analysis UDR Types, save the workflow configuration.

Data Veracity Filters Are Not Refreshed Automatically

The Filter page is not always the latest, after creating a new Filter from the Data Veracity Search page, you may need to click the Refresh button to view it.

Data Veracity New Restricted Fields That Were Used For An Existing Repair Rule Is Not Disabled

If setting a new restricted field that was used in a previously created Repair Rule, it is expected that the rule on the said field should be grayed out when viewing the saved Repair Rule and be ignored when applying repair tasks.

This is not the case as the rule on the said field still appears to be editable in the old Saved Repair Rule.

Duplicate UDR issues

Duplicate UDR Inspector Stuck Loading When Attempting To Delete Records

When a Duplicate UDR profile is being used by a running workflow, attempting to delete any records for that profile in Duplicate UDR Inspector would cause the Inspector to be stuck loading.

Dup_UDR_1.r_3 UDRs

Incorrect Handling When Duplicate UDR Process Old Data With System Arrival Time

With the SQL Storage Duplicate UDR profile set to use System Arrival Time, UDRs with dates older than the system time on the Platform will not be handled properly. The Duplicate UDR Inspector will not display any data despite the UDRs being processed.

When using File Storage Duplicate UDR profile with System Arrival Time as well, you might see Records and Duplicates as 0 in the legacy desktop Duplicate UDR Inspector.

Duplicate UDR Inspector Table Header Row Count Is Not Updated When Records Found Is 0

When searching a profile that has no records after previously searching with a profile that has any records, the table header would still display previous row count.

Missing <Agent> - 5G <Field> Parameters in Workflow Table and Workflow Instance Table

The HTTP2_Server_1 - 5G - 5G Profile, HTTP2_Server_1 - 5G - Primary NRF Address, and HTTP2_Server_1 - 5G - Secondary NRF Addresses parameters in version 8.3.2.X are missing from the Workflow Table and workflow instance table when upgrading from version 8.3.2.1 onwards to MediationZone 9.

The '<agent> - 5G - <field>' parameters in version 8.3.2.X

This is because the three parameters are classified under a different sub-category, the '5G Support' as HTTP2_Server_1 - 5G Support - 5G Profile, HTTP2_Server_1 - 5G Support - NRF Address, and HTTP2_Server_1 - 5G Support - Secondary NRF Address

The '<agent> - 5G Support - <field>' parameters in MediationZone 9

If the existing workflow contains these parameters from the older version, users are required to configure them under the new '5G Support' sub-category.

Incorrect HTTP Status Code in Error Response in Operations REST API Workflow

In the error response, the HTTP status code displayed in the “status” field is incorrect. You are required to refer to the “detail” field for the correct error code.
