- Audit log messages are not deleted the 'Message types to delete' is set to 'All' and the 'Delete Messages and Archives when settings are saved' option is selected. (Issue #57276)
- When indexing a large document set, the Search Cluster UI may display somewhat misleading information in the 'Document Load' bar. Under some circumstances, the 'Document Load' value may be displayed over 100%. This should not be considered an indication of any problem with the Search Cluster. (Issue #58042)
- The Top Best Bet icon will not be displayed even when adding the HTML code for it. (Issue #58216)

Developer Tools

- The Portal Diagnostic Tool will not work in Java when you create and register a custom tag library. (Issue #53063)

Infrastructure

- The Content Upload Service requires the Document Repository Service to be running before starting. (Issue #56575)
- On the Linux operating system: when using non-English locales, you must run 'export LANG=en_US' before running ptspy.sh to launch the Logging Spy graphical utility. (Issue #58101)

Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade

- If the Search component is missing from the AquaLogic Interaction license key, both the diagnostic tool and the application server log will display a warning stating "Missing, invalid, or expired license for AquaLogic Interaction Grid Search-6.1-Search. The search functionality has been disabled." This message can be ignored. If the Search component is missing from the AquaLogic Interaction key, search will be limited to 2 nodes. (Issue #60468)
- The installer may garble the names of the Server Side Includes and Intern Data Connector web extensions. You can use MetaEdit to change the name back to the original names. (Issue #54147)
- The installer may take longer to complete the installation than indicated by the status bar. (Issue #57235)
- On HP-UX: if you set the location where the installer unpacks files from /tmp to another location (this can be done by setting IATEMPDIR environment variable to a directory) the installer will still use approximately 90MB of space from /tmp. Clear out at least 90MB of space from /tmp and shut down any processes on the server that may also be using space on /tmp before running installer. (Issue #58874)
- On HP-UX: Re-installations of all components of the ALI installer occasionally cause the installer to hang. The hang always occurs when the installer is performing the post-installation step of deploying the Image Service. To locate the hanging process, run 'ps -eaf | grep jre142'. This should show at least one process running jre142/bin/IA64N/java in your installation directory. Stop this process and let the installer run to completion. The installer will install everything properly except the Image Service. Run the installer again and choose only the 'Image Service' for installation. The installer should run to completion without hanging and properly install the Image Service. (Issue #58954)
- Updates to the BEA ALI license file will only take effect only after your application server is restarted (Issue #59412)

Portlets

- Copying a saved query portlet will unlink it from the original snapshot query. (Issue #58282)

Search Infrastructure

- On HP-UX: The JVM on HPUX-IA64 tends to agressively consume and fragment memory. At the same time, the default kernel parameters limit the data segment size to 1GB by default. The combination of these factors can lead to out-of-memory errors. This can affect any Java process, particularly those which use the search client, which include Portal, Automation Server, Collaboration Server and Publisher. We recommend increasing the maximum data segment size to at least 2GB. This can be done using the kctune or sam tools. For instance: /usr/sbin/kctune maxdsiz=2147483648 If memory usage continues to be a problem, it may be necessary to tune the Java heap parameters. In order to minimize heap fragmentation, it is best to set the initial and maximum heap parameters to the same value. For instance -Xms 320m -Xmx 320m (Issue #57256)
- If a search node has been offline for some period of time and several checkpoints have been made while it was offline, the node may be unable to transition into RUN state when started. Because the checkpoints have deleted the old requests, the search server logs will mention that it is looking for an index queue segment file which no longer exists. The server should still come up and stay in standby mode. The node needs to be issued a reset command through the cadmin tool (cadmin reset <node-name>). This reset will clear out the contents of the node’s index, and the node will restore to the most recent checkpoint and catch up from there. (Issue #57464)
- On HP-UX: adding more than one crawler operation to a job will cause both crawlers to fail. The workaround is to associate only one crawler operation with each job. (Issue #57589)
- Search Server index directory and cluster request directory should be excluded from virus scanning, as indicated in product documentation. Under certain circumstances a node may crash if a virus scanner interferes with file I/O. (Issue #57858)
- The Search Cluster Manager allows the administrator to schedule cluster checkpoint operations. Once a checkpoint schedule has been established, you may change the schedule using the same user interface, however there is no facility in the user interface to completely turn off scheduled checkpoints. To completely remove a scheduled checkpoint, you may edit the cluster.ini file, found in the cluster home directory. Find the line with the parameter RF_CHECKPOINT_SCHEDULE and comment it out with a '#' character or delete it completely. (Issue #58443)
- On HP-UX: The Search Update Agent may occasionally fail to complete. The workaround is to run the Search Update Agent again. (Issue #58560)
- No search results are shown for 'Reference' property type even if it is set to be searchable. (Issue #58933)

Known Issues
Administration

- Users in the Korean locale will not be able to adjust AM/PM when editing jobs. The job will always be saved as AM. (Issue #56275)
- Audit log messages are not deleted the 'Message types to delete' is set to 'All' and the 'Delete Messages and Archives when settings are saved' option is selected. (Issue #57276)
- When indexing a large document set, the Search Cluster UI may display somewhat misleading information in the 'Document Load' bar. Under some circumstances, the 'Document Load' value may be displayed over 100%. This should not be considered an indication of any problem with the Search Cluster. (Issue #58042)
- The Top Best Bet icon will not be displayed even when adding the HTML code for it. (Issue #58216)

Developer Tools

- The Portal Diagnostic Tool will not work in Java when you create and register a custom tag library. (Issue #53063)

Infrastructure

- The Content Upload Service requires the Document Repository Service to be running before starting. (Issue #56575)
- On the Linux operating system: when using non-English locales, you must run 'export LANG=en_US' before running ptspy.sh to launch the Logging Spy graphical utility. (Issue #58101)

Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade

- If the Search component is missing from the AquaLogic Interaction license key, both the diagnostic tool and the application server log will display a warning stating "Missing, invalid, or expired license for AquaLogic Interaction Grid Search-6.1-Search. The search functionality has been disabled." This message can be ignored. If the Search component is missing from the AquaLogic Interaction key, search will be limited to 2 nodes. (Issue #60468)
- The installer may garble the names of the Server Side Includes and Intern Data Connector web extensions. You can use MetaEdit to change the name back to the original names. (Issue #54147)
- The installer may take longer to complete the installation than indicated by the status bar. (Issue #57235)
- On HP-UX: if you set the location where the installer unpacks files from /tmp to another location (this can be done by setting IATEMPDIR environment variable to a directory) the installer will still use approximately 90MB of space from /tmp. Clear out at least 90MB of space from /tmp and shut down any processes on the server that may also be using space on /tmp before running installer. (Issue #58874)
- On HP-UX: Re-installations of all components of the ALI installer occasionally cause the installer to hang. The hang always occurs when the installer is performing the post-installation step of deploying the Image Service. To locate the hanging process, run 'ps -eaf | grep jre142'. This should show at least one process running jre142/bin/IA64N/java in your installation directory. Stop this process and let the installer run to completion. The installer will install everything properly except the Image Service. Run the installer again and choose only the 'Image Service' for installation. The installer should run to completion without hanging and properly install the Image Service. (Issue #58954)
- Updates to the BEA ALI license file will only take effect only after your application server is restarted (Issue #59412)

Portlets

- Copying a saved query portlet will unlink it from the original snapshot query. (Issue #58282)

Search Infrastructure

- On HP-UX: The JVM on HPUX-IA64 tends to aggressively consume and fragment memory. At the same time, the default kernel parameters limit the data segment size to 1GB by default. The combination of these factors can lead to out-of-memory errors. This can affect any Java process, particularly those which use the search client, which include Portal, Automation Server, Collaboration Server and Publisher. We recommend increasing the maximum data segment size to at least 2GB. This can be done using the kctune or sam tools. For instance: /usr/sbin/kctune maxdsiz=2147483648 If memory usage continues to be a problem, it may be necessary to tune the Java heap parameters. In order to minimize heap fragmentation, it is best to set the initial and maximum heap parameters to the same value. For instance -Xms 320m -Xmx 320m (Issue #57256)
- If a search node has been offline for some period of time and several checkpoints have been made while it was offline, the node may be unable to transition into RUN state when started. Because the checkpoints have deleted the old requests, the search server logs will mention that it is looking for an index queue segment file which no longer exists. The server should still come up and stay in standby mode. The node needs to be issued a reset command through the cadmin tool (cadmin reset <node-name>). This reset will clear out the contents of the node’s index, and the node will restore to the most recent checkpoint and catch up from there. (Issue #57464)
- On HP-UX: adding more than one crawler operation to a job will cause both crawlers to fail. The workaround is to associate only one crawler operation with each job. (Issue #57589)
- Search Server index directory and cluster request directory should be excluded from virus scanning, as indicated in product documentation. Under certain circumstances a node may crash if a virus scanner interferes with file I/O. (Issue #57858)
- The Search Cluster Manager allows the administrator to schedule cluster checkpoint operations. Once a checkpoint schedule has been established, you may change the schedule using the same user interface, however there is no facility in the user interface to completely turn off scheduled checkpoints. To completely remove a scheduled checkpoint, you may edit the cluster.ini file, found in the cluster home directory. Find the line with the parameter RF_CHECKPOINT_SCHEDULE and comment it out with a '#' character or delete it completely. (Issue #58443)
- On HP-UX: The Search Update Agent may occasionally fail to complete. The workaround is to run the Search Update Agent again. (Issue #58560)
- No search results are shown for 'Reference' property type even if it is set to be searchable. (Issue #58933)
- The Search Update Agent adds errors to the job log about trying to update an object with ClassID 514. This object referred to is a MyPage object that is not intended to be indexed and can be ignored. Depending on the environment, this message may be written many times in each job log, potentially filling up the job log table. A workaround is to change the Logging Level for the Search Update Agent job to Silent. (Issue #62413)

Post-Release Updates

- The Known Issues section has been updated with a new issue, #62413. September 4, 2007

Known Issues

Administration

- If an AWS is disabled and has an appropriate disabled message, the message will not be displayed when a user tries to log in using that AWS. The user will receive a generic error message instead. Also, the Administrator will not be able to edit the Authentication Source whose corresponding Web service is disabled. If a Web service object for a crawler is disabled, administrators may not be able to edit corresponding data sources and crawlers. (Issue #15755)
- Mandatory portlets are not listed for users in 508 mode. (Issue #42952)
- When editing "User Information - Property Map", if two properties are mapped to a same User Information Attribute, a vague error message will be displayed when Finish is clicked. The message is sometimes "Unable to store the UserInf map each user information element to one and only one property." The administrator must find the duplicate and resolve that before saving the Map. (Issue #16082)
- When an administrative folder containing users is copied, all objects other than users will be copied. There is no warning or error message. Users cannot be copied. (Issue #20116)
- If you create a new community group in a subcommunity, it will appear on the Security page of the subcommunity with Read access. If you then change the settings on the Security page of the parent community, these changes will be propagated down to the subcommunity (if the user chooses to propagate the changes). Therefore, if the community group was not on the Security page of the parent community, it will no longer appear on the Security page of the subcommunity. The community group must therefore be added back manually to the Security page of the subcommunity. (Issue #33288)
- The operation may fail when trying to delete a large number of objects at once. (Issue #42399)
- Dynamic Membership statements with values that contain certain characters such as a semicolon may cause javascript errors on the page. (Issue #46462)
- The system health monitor may erroneously report that there is an issue with Process even if there are no issues. (Issue #49704)
- Submitting community preferences will not automatically refresh the page. (Issue #51435)
- It is not possible to edit a document's security with the security matrix if the document's ID is greater than 999,999. It is still possible to edit the security of the document in the document's editor itself. (Issue #51452)

Assistive Technologies

- Reference type Properties are read-only in the User Profile Editor in Assistive Technology mode. (Issue #36042)
- In Assistive Technology mode, clicking "Go Back" on the Help page from the second page of the Document Submission editor takes you to your default MyPage, rather than to the first page of the editor. (Issue #37080)
- The General Information Portlet in users' profiles may not be visible in 508 mode. (Issue #44996)
- Search results always click through in the main window and not in a new window regardless of the Document Display Settings when in 508 mode. (Issue #51252)

Crawlers, Agents, and Automation Server

- The Web crawler is unable to read the value of a META tag if it is the very last tag in an HTML document. This is unusual since META tags generally occur in the HEAD section of the document and are followed by the content of the document in the BODY section. (Issue #37143)
- If an owner of a crawler does not have sufficient access to a folder in the target taxonomy, he/she will only receive an "insufficient privilege" message in the job log if that is the only folder you can go into. (Issue #43896)
- Job logs fail to download on Solaris systems. (Issue #49252)
- Mirrored file crawlers do not properly handle NT folders that have a space as the 63rd character in the name. The name will get truncated. (Issue #50730)
- If all of the search nodes are offline, it could take several minutes to open a crawler editor. Ensure that at least one search node is online when editing crawlers. (Issue #54973)
- You may need to modify your external operations shell scripts for Unix-based deployments of AquaLogic Interaction. (Issue #55061)
  Previous to 6.1, external operations ran in the same environment as the Automation Server process. In 6.1, a separate Unix shell environment is spawned for each external operation. As a result, some environment variable will need to be set in each external operation shell script. For example, if your script utilizes 'dirname', you should ensure that 'dirname' is in the PATH.

Developer Tools

- The portal stores session states in cookies. If you store many session states, this may go over the maximum number of session cookies allowed in IE and may cause some cookies such as the login cookie to be removed from the session. When developing on the portal, be careful to minimize the number of session states stored on a page. (Issue #47642)
- You cannot set or get session preferences that contain unusual characters such as "?". (Issue #47708)
- Reading a string field from an IPortalSearchResult converts a full width number to a half width number. The value is stored correctly in the DB, and is returned correctly using IDocumentProperties. (Issue #51243)

Infrastructure

- If the maximum upload size specified in ALI Collaboration is higher than the maximum upload size specified in AquaLogic Interaction, documents larger than the maximum size specified in AquaLogic Interaction may never complete. (Issue #52082)
- Some versions of IE6 on Windows 2000 have a bug where they do not render compressed pages properly. End users should upgrade to the latest version of IE6 if compression is enabled. (Issue #54230)
- Some versions of IE6 (6.0.2800.1106 Update Version SP1; Q833989) produce a javascript error when the recommended portlet functionality is used. End users should upgrade to the latest version of IE6. (Issue #54379)
- You may experience issues downloading Excel spreadsheets from Analytics reports using the Microsoft IE6 browser. (Issue #54827)
  This problem is directly related to one or more of the following bugs in IE6 SP1 resolved by the KB articles listed below. Please require users to either upgrade their browsers by installing IE6 SP2 or patching with the specific downloads listed in the KB articles.

  The other workaround is to specifically disable compression for Excel spreadsheets in the httpcompression.xml setting file, located in %PT_HOME%/settings/portal.

Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade

- On Windows servers, the AquaLogic Interaction portal or Administrative Portal Server should not be installed on the same server as an Oracle database. This is because both AquaLogic Interaction and Oracle install OutsideIn libraries and reference them via the PATH environment variable. The AquaLogic Interaction portal requires its version of the OutsideIn libraries. If Oracle has been installed first, its reference to its OutsideIn libraries will be listed first which would cause the AquaLogic Interaction portal to fail.
  If the AquaLogic Interaction portal or Administrative Portal Server move AquaLogic Interaction's reference to its OutsideIn libraries in front of Oracle's in the PATH environment variable. In order to do this, edit the PATH environment variable and move AquaLogic Interaction's reference to the its OutsideIn libraries, %OUTSIDEIN_PATH%, to the front of the PATH environment variable. Note, doing this may disable some features of Oracle that depend on its version of the OutsideIn libraries. (Issue #52885)
- The Content Upload service must be started AFTER the Document Repository Service. (Issue #49725)
- The ALI Logging Utilities product is not properly uninstalled when AquaLogic Interaction is uninstalled. (Issue #53950)
- The installer may garble the names of the "Server Side Includes" and "Intern Data Connector" web extensions. You can use MetaEdit to change the name back to the original names. (Issue #54147)
- When you run the Portal Configuration Manager to test the DB connection on an upgraded portal installation, you must enter the DB Login password.
- The portal upgrade does not properly upgrade the DB password for upgraded Solaris systems. You must run the Portal Configuration Manager and re-enter the DB password before starting the upgraded portal on Solaris systems. (Issue #49509)
- Values entered in the Portal Configuration Manager will always be saved if you test the DB connection. This is true even if you click Cancel after testing the connection. (Issue #47736)
- Some of the CSS classes have changed between Plumtree Corporate Portal 5.0 and AquaLogic Interaction 6.x. This could cause some customizations or portlets that depend on those classes to behave differently in AquaLogic Interaction 6.x than in Plumtree Corporate Portal 5.0. (Issue #47594)
- The Administration link may not work correctly in Security Mode 3. If there are security issues (page cannot be accessed), a workaround is to set the AdminSiteBaseURL in x_config.xml (j_config.xml for Java portals, n_config.xml for .NET portals) to be an absolute URL (i.e. http://mycomputer.mycompany.com/portal/server.pt). (Issue #28121)
- AquaLogic Interaction 6.x no longer supports Windows Authentication to connect to MS SQL Server databases.
- The Oracle Global Deployment Scripts should not be run on the AquaLogic Interaction database as it is not supported. (Issue #27272)
- When using a non-existent parameters file for the silent install a stack trace is shown instead of a simple error message. The specific error is an InvocationTargetException. To solve this problem type in the correct, full path to the silent properties file you wish to use. (Issue #47469)
- For the UICI, you must manually specify the default install path for Linux deployments because the installer does not utilize the Linux HOME environment variable. (Issue #48499)
- When the portal is auto-deployed onto WebSphere, the application name is "portal". However, when the portal is manually deployed onto WebSphere, the application name is "PlumtreePortal". (Issue #40641)
- When running .NET in IIS 6.0, the AppPool Config Options should be disabled when running AquaLogic Interaction. (Issue #47702)
  To disable the AppPool Config Options:
  1. Open IIS Manager.
  2. Expand the Local Computer and Application Pools.
  3. Right-click on the DefaultAppPool and select Properties.
  4. On the Recycling Tab make sure that the Recycle Worker Process options are disabled.
  5. On the Performance Tab, make sure the Idle Timeout option is disabled.
  6. Click OK to save changes.
- The port number displayed in the "API Service URL" panel of the installer always defaults to 11905 regardless of the port specified in the "API Service - Application Port" panel when installing the API Service. You must manually enter the correct port number in the "API Service URL" panel. (Issue #47756)
  Note: You will only see the "API Service URL" panel when installing the API Service and you will only see the "API Service - Application Port" panel when installing a portal or Administrative Portal.
  If you did not change the port number in the "API Service URL" panel to match the port in the "API Service - Application Port" panel, you can change it after installing the portal and running the DB scripts by going to the "Portal Settings" utility and changing the port specified in the "SOAP Server URL".
- When upgrading to AquaLogic Interaction 6.x from a non-English version of a previous version of the portal, the default names of many objects will revert to English. (Issue #47877)
- The objects that make up the Content Upload service are named "File Upload..." when imported into the portal. You can change the names as needed. (Issue #47711)
- If you are utilizing the File Upload Web Service in the 5.0.x version of the portal, the portal installer does not properly upgrade the URL of the remote server object of the File Upload Web Service to the 6.1 Content Upload Service. You must manually update the URL. In order to resolve this issue:
  1. Install the new 6.1 Content Upload Service.
     - Record the URL and port number.
     - Do NOT import the migration package to the portal. The portal objects created by this package will not be able to access previously uploaded documents because those documents will still be associated with the data source based on the old File Upload Web Service. The goal is to switch the underlying version of the upload Web service that this data source uses and not replace the data source itself with a new one.
  2. Locate the old File Upload Remote Server object in the administration hierarchy of Plumtree Foundation 6.0.
  3. Edit the remote server URL to match the URL and port number of the newly installed 6.0 Content Upload Service. This will switch the version of the upload service that the original data source object utilizes while maintaining the data source's association with previously uploaded documents.
- For the UICI, ANT_OPS and JAVA_OPTS are not set in unixvars.sh. (Issue #48519)
- For the UICI, the portaluiinfrastructure project has an invalid Default output folder for the Java Build Path. (Issue #48573)
- There is a general issue that affects all applications that are deployed on an IBM WebSphere 6.0 instance that has been upgraded to 6.0.1. Upon migrating to WebSphere 6.0.1 with the IBM HTTP Server and installing the plugin, applications are not displayed on the administrative console. Restarting IBM WebSphere will start those applications even if those applications are not displayed. IBM plans a fix for this in fixpack 6.0.1.2. Please visit the IBM support site for more details.
- For the UICI, custom .jar files should be manually put in the portal.war/ear if ALI Analytics is also installed. (Issue #51678)
- For the UICI, on Solaris configurations, the PATH environment variable may need to be moved when editing UI customizations. This is because Solaris comes with its own version of Java. In order to resolve the situation:
  - After the UICI has completed, edit plutree_ui_source/unixvars.sh in a text editor.
  - In the line with the export PATH command, move ${PATH} to the end of the line and save the file. For example, the revised command might look like this: export PATH=/opt/apache-ant/bin:/opt/j2sdk/bin:${PATH}
  - Source the modified unixvars.sh as you normally would when editing UI customizations.
- Auto-deployment fails on any version of WebLogic Server more recent than 8.1. It is recommended that administrators manually deploy the .EAR (not the .WAR) in order to complete installation on this application server. (Issue #55102)
- Some products install conflicting versions of icu 3.0 into \Windows\system32. When conflicting versions of icu are loaded before the version distributed with the search client, the portal will fail to start up and ptverify will report errors. The problem can be resolved by searching for and removing icu*30.dll from \Windows\system32. Products with known conflicts include Crystal Reports XI, WebEx, and possibly other web client software. (Issue #56359)

Internationalization

- In an exported Excel file, the time format follows the remote server's system locale instead of the client's locale. (Issue #47883)

Knowledge Directory and Utilities

- Security changes are not properly propagated for changes to the Knowledge Directory because propagation jobs are not being created. (Issue #49694)
- With Symantec Client Firewall installed, cannot view PDFs in the Knowledge Directory. (Issue #51038)

My Pages and Communities

- When creating a page layout, you may receive an error if you collapse the tips after adding a portlet. (Issue #34611)
- You cannot edit the access level of a group to a subcommunity if the group has Admin access to the parent community (regardless of the group's access level on the subcommunity). To workaround this, edit the group's access level on the parent community and propagate the changes to the objects in that community. (Issue #37466)

Object Migration

- No unresolved dependencies are reported after deleting all dependencies after uploading a package when some of the dependencies don't exist on the importing portal. (Issue #42402)
- Migrating a community links portlet does not migrate the folder of links correctly. (Issue #27145)
- The migration import utility allows the selection of a web service of the incorrect type when resolving dependencies. (Issue #42401)
- When migrating activity rights, there may be a FolderID Exception in the migration log. This can be ignored. (Issue #46079)
- The migration utility only stores two digits for year values. Therefore some dates may be migrated improperly if they are in the distant past or future. (Issue #46941)
- When exporting a folder with export dependencies = true and export parent folders = false, the entire folder hierarchy is exported. It is recommended that the export parent option not be used when migrating folders or communities. (Issue #47920)
- When exporting communities with export dependencies = true, all objects stored in the community folder will be exported recursively down the object hierarchy. (Issue #47953)

Online Help

- The online help menu is not expanded when accessing the help in Safari browsers. (Issue #47705)

Performance

- When expanding a list of users on the administration site, if there are a large number of users (for example, 1000), the portal can respond very slowly or even time out. This can usually be solved by optimizing the database. (Issue #27566)

Portal Object Editors

- If a mandatory reference property is mapped to a document folder, the Properties&Names page does not properly enforce that the mandatory property has a value selected. Therefore when a user is creating or editing an object with a mandatory reference property, if no value has been set for that property, no error notification will be displayed when closing the editor. (Issue #26210)
- There are no scroll bars in the help file page of AWS/PWS wizards. The workarounds are as follows:
  o If you highlight the text, you can drag the mouse down and then the rest of the text will show.
  o You can press CTRL-N to open the window in a new window, which will have scroll bars. (Issue #27920)
- If you open two editors for the same portlet at the same time in the same session, changes made in one editor overwrite changes made in the other. (Issue #34922)
- In the content source editor, some of the information, for example the state, is not maintained when switching between pages of the editor. (Issue #43436)
- CSS files will be transformed by Web services even if the "Transform CSS Files" option is not checked. (Issue #50528)

Search Infrastructure

- After importing the Search Cluster Manager migration package, you must log off and log back in to the portal in order to see the utility. (Issue #54901)
- If you abort a checkpoint restore either by the UI or command line, you should restart the Search Service. (Issue #55035)
- After aborting a named restore completely (see previous release note), the cluster should end up with all nodes in RUN mode, the cluster state is "complete", and all nodes report a docset TID equal to the TID of the restored checkpoint. You can confirm the detailed cluster status by running "cadmin status --verbose". If the nodes are not in RUN mode, or the cluster status is not "complete", you should restart the nodes and confirm the correct status. (Issue #55035)
- If network communication errors happen between search nodes during certain phases of the repartitioning process, the nodes may be left in an inconsistent state. The expected state after a successful repartition is that all nodes transition into RUN mode on the new topology. The expected state after a failed repartition is that all nodes transition back into RUN mode on the previous (non-repartitioned) topology. If the nodes end up in a persistent STALL, READONLY, or STANDBY state, you will need to revert to the previous topology with the following steps:
  1) Check that the cluster.nodes file reflects the previous (non-repartitioned) topology. If it does not, edit it manually so that it does.
  2) Issue a SOFTRESET to the cluster using the CAdmin tool. > cadmin softreset -cluster_home. (Issue #55082)
- The indexing pipeline can become deadlocked when multiple nodes are installed on the same windows box. Redeploying the nodes on separate boxes should resolve the issue. Further details below.

> Symptom: Crawls succeed but documents never become searchable.

> Diagnosis:

> - Crawl job logs contain messages like the following: "FullySerializeCards caught an exception indexing cards in the property search collection: com.plumtree.server.marshalers.PTException: -2147204349 - Error in function PTIndexer.CommitAll (): -2147204349 - Failover failed -- no servers left to accept request."
> - Search Cluster Manager shows all nodes in "RUN", "STALL", or "RECOVER" state; not "OFFLINE" or "READONLY".
> - Search Server logs contain <warning> tags with the following text: "Index connection queue backlog exceeds maximum."

> Analysis: The search cluster is in a deadlocked state where it cannot accept indexing requests. Queries are unaffected. The deadlock is due to contention over a lock file which one of the nodes is holding and not releasing.

> Resolution: The problem can be temporarily resolved by restarting the search nodes one at a time. When the node holding the lock is restarted, the lock will be released and indexing requests can be accepted once more. Following the node recovery, run Search Repair to resubmit any indexing requests that may have failed during the outage. (Issue #56305)

Search Results and Snapshot Queries

- Pressing Enter on the Advanced Search page refreshes the page, but does not run a new search. Click 'Search' to perform a new search. (Issue #13773)
- The "More From Each..." link may appear at the bottom of the Federated Search results page when some of the Federated Searches do not have more results to be displayed. This is a bug. Clicking the "More From Each..." link under these circumstances may result in improper result count text, for example "Showing results 6-6 of 1", and/or it may result in the original results being repeated in the "More From Each..." page. There is no workaround for this. (Issue #28063)
- Certain Federated Search errors will result in an incorrect or misleading error message being displayed to the end user initiating the search. For example, a search for "*ra*" should cause the message "Specify at least three characters when wildcards appear at both the beginning and end of a query" to be displayed. Instead, the message "The Search Server for the Portal being searched could not be contacted" is shown, which is incorrect.
- You can choose to disable objects that cannot be disabled if a user object is part of the search result set. However, you are not notified that the object will not be disabled. (Issue #42546)
- When a Federated Search request to an external search Web service takes too long to complete (times out), the user sees this error message: "An error was returned by the search service: 'An Error occurred while conducting this search.'". Note that this generic message does not specify that the timeout was the cause of the failure. The first incoming Federated Search request to a newly-started WS Server is often slow, so your first attempt to test Federated Search may result in this generic error. Try repeating the request; subsequent attempts should be faster. (Issue #35290)
- Snapshot Queries using "In the Last" comparison operator includes future dates in the search results. (Issue #46105)
- Snapshot query portlets are sometimes referred to as "content snapshots" in online help and snapshot query portlet tips. (Issue #47687)

Security, Login, and SSO

- If AllowGuestAccess is set to 0, guest users can access unsecured documents and objects. In order to properly protect data, remove the guest user from the ACL for objects. (Issue #45898)
- For portals that use Netegrity SSO, users may receive a warning when trying to join communities with an apostrophe (') in the name. (Issue #49552)
- Clickthroughs to gatewayed portlet URLs will succeed for unauthenticated users if Guest users are on the ACL of the portlet even if Guest access is disabled in the configuration of the portal in general. (Issue #50756)

UI Infrastructure

- JSPortal dropdown menus cannot be opened until the page completes loading (until you see 'Done' at the bottom of the browser). Wait until the page finishes loading before using the menus or use another navigation scheme. (Issue #29933)
- The markup tag PT:TreeLink does not properly handle empty selections. You will receive an error if you deselect all in a tree node. (Issue #33730)

User Profile and Sync

- Username/loginname can become corrupt during user import synchronization if there is a user that is missing their login name attribute. (Issue #28614)
- Editing a user profile portlet configuration and closing the browser can cause a profile page to be locked. It cannot be unlocked with the Release Item Locks utility. This can be repaired by connecting to the portal database. In the PTOBJECTLOCKS table, find and delete the row(s) with CLASSID 59. (Issue #47713)

Post-Release Updates

- The Supported Operating Systems, Application Servers, Databases, and Browsers section has been updated to included support for BEA WebLogic 10, Windows Server 2003 SP2, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 (with 2000 Compatibility Level). August 23, 2007
- Added Resolved Issues section for AquaLogic Interaction 6.1 MP2 release notes. June 6, 2008
