Known Issues in the Current Release

  • Template does not yet handle "Enable Raw Data Storage"
  • A subtle Java problem causes plug-ins built on SDKs installed on some systems to have trouble importing into Sentinel. At this time the workaround is to install at least the Sentinel Control Center on the same machine as the SDK (this provides some additional JARs for the SDK classpath). Note that this limits the SDK to use on platforms supported by the Sentinel installer.
  • There appears to be a UUID conflict with template Collector Packs; it may appear that certain content elements are already installed in Solution Manager if a Collector Pack is imported into Sentinel.
  • Plug-ins created with older versions of the SDK may have to have some files renamed:
    • parameters/eventsource.pml --> parameters/release.pml
    • docs/eventsource.odt --> release.odt
    • pack/eventsource.spz --> release.spz
    • eventsource.js / actiontarget.js --> release.js
    • May need to move "controls.exclude* from Collector 6.1/pack directory to 6.1/, and unpack existing release.spz into 6.1/pack
  • JSLint modified a comparison to compare value and type, which causes the comparison to fail. Please replace line 170 of //content/dev/AA-common/api/6.1/connector.js:
    • if ( record.Row_Left === 0 || record.Row_Left == -1 ) {
  • with:
    • if ( record.Row_Left == 0 || record.Row_Left == -1 ) {
