PLATFORM 6
Known Issues
Below are specific issues the Itential development team is aware of within the new software version, and is being actively worked on to resolve in a subsequent release update.
| Issue | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
Setting serviceDirectory in profile |
Solution In Progress | Itential Platform 6.0.0 has a known issue where serviceDirectory is unable to be set via the profile. If required, please set the property service_directory via the platform.properties file or the property ITENTIAL_SERVICE_DIRECTORY via environmental variables. This issue will be fixed in an upcoming maintenance release. |
| Starting Nodes in HA | Solution In Progress | When using Itential Platform 6.0.0 within an HA environment, users are instructed to start nodes in sequence. The ability to simultaneously start all nodes will be added in an upcoming maintenance release. |
Bug Fixes
The Platform 6 release includes fixes for potential bugs and issues detected in a controlled testing environment before making the software available.
| Key ID | Release Note |
|---|---|
| ENG-51 | When creating a JSON form with a Schema Combination set to the oneOf format option the form preview returned an error instead of accepting the option. Fixed by adding a required property to handle the oneOf' schema format correctly. |
| ENG-54 | When using JSON Forms with multi-select dropdown fields that have a large number of items the browser becomes unresponsive when searching for an item in a field. To resolve, updated the 'ph-json-form' dropdown widget to include pagination control and default to 100 items max in the dropdown. |
| ENG-100 | Itential Platform creates many more connections to Redis than necessary and creates situations were a Redis instance can be overloaded causing restart and deployment issues in the Cloud deployments |
| ENG-105 | Workflows with template-literal strings (e.g. Hi Test Hi) would display as 'null' for the string input instead of the actual string. Modified workflow logic to properly handle literal task inputs at run time. |
| ENG-106 | User was unable to download the artifact.json of a Pre-Built from Admin Essentials that includes a TextFSM or Jinja2 template. Fixed an issue that prevented export (download) of Pre-Builts with Jinja2 or TextFSM templates from Admin Essentials. |
| ENG-108 | Fixed a bug where the 'jobStart' event in a workflow was emitted before sending tasks to the task queue for processing. Modified the order of processing to ensure 'jobStart' is not triggered prematurely. |
| ENG-208 | Fixed a bug in Operations Manager that stopped the Auto-Work functionality from running after opening a child job on the workflow canvas. Auto-Work now starts as expected on a child job. |
| ENG-209 | Resolved an issue with spiked CPU demand and data consumption when making job view queries via API in Operations Manager. |
| ENG-333 | Restricting role permissions to the Search Compliance Plan Instances API no longer crashes the Config Manager application. |
| ENG-339 | When using Regex in Golden Configuration there is an issue with marking multiple results of the same violation for remediation. Updated the Compliance Report Viewer property use 'issueId' as a unique identifier when selecting config lines for remediation. |
| ENG-340 | When doing load configuration for offline NSO devices in configuration-manage getConfig API will cause or return status code 200 a positive status code with mappi errors. Fixed this false positive issue by keeping checks on mappi errors and returning the correct status code. |
| ENG-867 | Removed $id from the workflow input schema calculation that originates from transformation task incoming schemas to fix issue where jobs would not start due to duplicate $ids in the workflow input schema. |
| ENG-913 | Fixed a bug where the principal would fail to generate when authenticating via Service Account while SSO is enabled. |
| ENG-957 | Running a transformation no longer displays unsaved changes text. |
| ENG-958 | Fixed a bug by removing an incorrect threshold check in JSON Form Builder. Users can now add Form elements to the second field option in the JSON Form schema combination container via drag-and-drop. |
| ENG-959 | Added download button to the project editor sidebar. |
| ENG-960 | Checked for undefined or null for integer inputs in JST tasks to allow 0 integer inputs. |
| ENG-1008 | JSON forms can no longer have the same name. If a name already exists, a duplicate name error message is shown. |
| ENG-1013 | JSON forms can no longer have the same name. |
| ENG-1018 | Fixed an issue that caused the Cancel Job and Revert Job modals to display incorrect name values. |
| ENG-1030 | Improved the error message that displays when creating a workflow with a duplicate name inside a project. |
| ENG-1035 | Fixed the sort function in the Collection dialog view. Workflows and transformations in Automation Studio now sort correctly by created and last updated date. |
| ENG-1042 | Fixed the sort function in the Collection dialog view. Workflows and transformations in Automation Studio now sort correctly by created and last updated date. |
| ENG-1049 | Templates will no longer flash an error message prior to parsing. |
| ENG-1070 | When running a JST, the result from any Set entries, Set values, or String matchAll method will yield an iterator instead of an array which will cause these returns to appear as an empty object.These methods should now return an array as expected. |
| ENG-1095 | Enhanced GBAC in Admin Essentials by adding read-only permissions. Users assigned to read-only groups can view workflows within Operations Manager but they are not allowed to execute (run) them. |
| ENG-1137 | Fixed incompatible function check for number vs. integer schema types. |
| ENG-1145 | Added check within saveWorkflow to determine if there is an existing Project template with the same name as the task.variables.incoming.template. If there, the task.variables.incoming.template is updated to include the namespace._id as a prefix in the name. |
| ENG-1152 | To determine if a toast should be displayed, added an argument to reconcileCallbackSchema to detect if it is being called within the deleteAssign function. |
| ENG-1279 | Fixed the sort function in the Collection dialog view. Workflows and transformations in Automation Studio now sort correctly by created and last updated date. |
| ENG-1600 | Fixed an issue that caused the prometheus_metrics API to reset its count of active sessions every 20 minutes, regardless of whether the tracked sessions had expired or not. |
| ENG-1621 | The select all option in the edit group dialog now correctly selects all items for the current page and not other unseen pages. |
| ENG-2040 | Fixed workflow run errors in AG Manager that occurred due to reordered key/value inputs in the database. Modified the task handler to maintain incoming task variables in the same order as the inputs defined on the task. |
| ENG-2316 | Updated Rodeo to resolve an issue with using the Studio workflow canvas in Firefox. |
| ENG-2350 | When running a job from a pre-built workflow, the JSON Forms app crashes and the validateSchema task indefinitely remains in running state. To resolve, implemented additional error handling in the 'validateData' task to check for invalid form data. |
| ENG-2388 | Reduced the number of error notifications generated on logout/network connection failure. |
| ENG-2505 | When opening a transition in Studio, the transition does not display in the UI. Updated the rendering logic in JST Designer to resolve the display issue. |
| ENG-2556 | Fixed an issue where Workflow Engine cleanup was not waiting on task worker deactivation before relinquishing the Event Listener task, resulting in the task being picked back up and orphaned in the running state. |
| ENG-2588 | In Automation Studio, when attempting to set a job or task variable source value to a name less than 3 characters in length, the task panel UI rejects the value and resets the variable source to static. |
| ENG-2622 | When trying to delete job errors in Operations Manager, the Delete Jobs dialog would also include successfully completed jobs in the errors table. To resolve, fixed a bug in the dialog to only show failed jobs. |
| ENG-2697 | When viewing workflows and browsing tasks, workflow will no longer flag tasks as changed and lose some variable references. Save will also not be enabled if no changes were made. |
| ENG-2881 | Updated the function selection check on load of a transformation to include a check for if the wrapping element was found. This prevents crashing due to missing DOM elements. |
| ENG-2882 | Fixed an issue in JSON Golden Configuration which would cause JSON key-checking rule values to always be treated as string. The key-checking value is now saved as the same type as the value in the JSON. |
| ENG-2923 | Over time, keys in the Redis datastore accumulate and eventually require the Redis instance to be cleared to avoid crashing Redis. A majority of the keys accumulating through time were due to faulty assumptions in the health checking process and its usage of BullMQ on top of Redis for synchronous request/response communications. This process was reworked to remove the use request/response between core and the apps and adapters but to instead check existing health status entries in Redis with timestamps to know if an app or adapter had stale health values. |
| ENG-2932 | When importing an existing workflow via pre-built, where the workflow passes validation with no warnings or errors, any warnings or errors from the existing workflow would not be removed. Applied a fix while processing workflows from pre-builts to always update the warnings and errors with the latest validation output. |
| ENG-2965 | When providing a template without an id property to the update legacy template API endpoints, the resulting template is unusable in Itential Platform. Updated the update and create legacy template endpoints to ensure the id property matches the provided name to prevent issues using the template and the update legacy template endpoints to return an error if no id is provided. |
| ENG-3034 | Fixed an issue where a JSON Form with a dropdown dependency that contains special characters would not function as expected. |
| ENG-3047 | Reset the order of operations in Operations Manager for the import and export of JSON Forms and Transformations via automation triggers. |
| ENG-3142 | When attempting to view a template, Automation Studio no longer returns an error and stops working. |
| ENG-3143 | Fixed migration scripts for Configuration Manager to automatically execute on Itential Platform startup. |
| ENG-3195 | When doing unit tests in adapter-nso, observed an unnecessary (not required) empty device string check added inside the BuildTemplateAction function. Removed unnecessary empty string checks to enhance code quality by removing unnecessary checks. |
| ENG-3312 | The boolean options for the pass_on_null parameters in a JST query task can now be selected when users hover their mouse pointer (cursor). |
| ENG-3320 | Some child job loop configurations involving JSTs would incorrectly report validation errors in the workflow validation API. Updated the validation method to correctly format JST related child job properties when validating a workflow. |
| ENG-3349 | Searches for existing Templates with the same name will be overwritten when importing Pre-builts and updating the existing id with new data. |
| ENG-3551 | Modified how Itential Platform initializes JSON Form data upon import by adding a new migration script. |
| ENG-3888 | When creating a callback function in JST Designer via a method card, connecting a constant value input to a non-constant value parameter causes the function to be generated incorrectly. Due to this, the function's incoming schema is incorrect and is deselected from the method as incompatible. Applied a fix in JST Designer to ensure the function is generated correctly. |
| ENG-3933 | Fixed a bug with the automation studio/JST-Designer method panel would not re-open after closing. Customers can open/close methods panel in the JST Editor as expected. |
| ENG-4248 | When Itential Cloud is restarted after configuring a large number of Integration Models, the startup time increased and there was high CPU usage. Implemented a fix to improve the encoding/decoding process for Integration OpenAPI models. |
| ENG-4352 | Implemented a fix to resolve UI issue that occurred when using the JSON Forms 'RenderJsonSchema task to render a large JSON object. |
| ENG-4407 | The evaluation task was missing an editable description field for the task. To fix the issue, added a details tab with editable description field to the Eval task. |
| ENG-4483 | When passing HTML into the message field of the view data task, the HTML was rendered incorrectly. HTML is now rendered correctly in the message field of the View Data task. |
| ENG-4489 | Moving an asset from one project to another or to a new project was removing the incorrect asset from the original project. Project assets now moved correctly. |
| ENG-4489 | Moving an asset from one project to another or a new project was removing the incorrect asset from the original project. Project assets now move correctly. |
| ENG-4645 | With multiple child job task in a workflow, the Input Job Variable doesnot hold the selection if user navigates to 2nd child job task and then come back again to first child job. It happens if task window is kept open. |
| ENG-4687 | Added url sanitization (URI encoding) so that links to assets with special characters correctly navigate. |
| ENG-4689 | The user experience of integration import was not very clear when schema validation fails on import. Improved UX by adding schema validation errors to the import modal and directing user to the modal on the toast on import. |
| ENG-4705 | Transformation functions do not render as expected in JST Designer if there is a function within the transformation that contains double quotes in its name. Fixed the rendering issues when opening functions in JST Designer. |
| ENG-4715 | When setting an operand source type to null in the evaluation task then saving the task, it incorrectly displays the type as object instead of null. Updated the source type dropdown to display null if the value is null. |
| ENG-4819 | Fixed an issue where circular JSON Schema $ref keywords would cause workflow engine to infinitly recurse and then crash when calculating inputSchema/outputSchema with a maximum call stack size error |
| ENG-4845 | When trying to move a pre-seeded template into a project, the dialog option to move them was disabled. Fixed this to allow for pre-seeded templates to be moved into a project. |
| ENG-4854 | If you open a corrupted transformation when you already have a transformation open in Automation Studio and then attempt to delete the transformation, it will delete the document you already had open. Updated the delete transformation dialog to display and delete the correct transformation document. |
| ENG-4858 | Itential Platform would crash in some scenarios when sent invalid SNMP requests. Invalid SNMP requests are now gracefully handled and will not cause a crash. |
| ENG-4874 | When checking the adapter's status in the API after a JSON RPC connectivity issue, the adapter will display as degraded until it is restarted, regardless of current connectivity. Applied a fix in the NSO adapter that was causing the adapter to remain degraded even when connectivity was restored so that the adapter now returns to a connected state without needing a restart. |
| ENG-4941 | There is no longer a UI crash when configuring a file upload field and then a dropdown on a JSON Form. |
| ENG-5468 | Fixed an issue where users' git token data was being leaked into workflow and legacy form export documents. |
| ENG-5726 | Added support for importing JSON form documents that implement multiple validations on a single input |
| ENG-5755 | In scenarios where an Itential Platform cluster is not fully shut down during an upgrade, the new version of app and adapter service models would not take effect. Cluster-wide service model declarations where enhanced to ensure the most up-to-date version is applied whenever an Itential Platform service comes online. |
| ENG-5780 | The MongoDB driver for Node.js contained a memory leak in its implementation of collection watchers. Itential Platform has upgraded from 5.7.0 of the driver to 5.9.0, the version which contains the fix for the memory leak. |
| ENG-5832 | Fixed an issue with Compliance Plans that would prevent plan instances executed via workflows to show up in the plan's 'Reports' tab. |
| ENG-5861 | Fixed an issue with JSON form elements, where any form layering (container/schema combination) is assumed to be a binding configuration (and fail to parse) when at least one actual binding exists |
| ENG-5918 | When passing an array with indexed schemas into an iterative array in JST Designer, making a connection from an index of the incoming array to any method would cause the JST to stop rendering correctly. Fixed a rendering issue within JST Designer that was causing rendering to break after making connections from an array's contents within a function.. |
| ENG-5978 | When using the switch method in JST Designer, adding >10 cases will cause assignments after the 10th to not work and the cases to reorder on save or export of the transformation. Fixed the switch method to ensure all assignments work correctly and the order of cases is maintained. |
| ENG-6301 | Improved the URL sanitation that occurs when navigating to assets with special characters. |
| ENG-6311 | When using the export and import API in the Service Catalog on Itential Platform version 2023.2, the operation fails due to an issue with the ObjectId reference in the updated MongoDB driver. The fix corrects the ObjectId reference, ensuring that the export and import API in the Service Catalog functions as expected. |
| ENG-6465 | The runComplianceForDevice task would not run compliance for a tree if the specified device only existed in the device group. Updated runComplianceForDevice to include devices that are only defined in a device group. |
| ENG-6499 | When upgrading a workflow that has a JST with a reference to a job variable with some name AND a child job that contains a JST with a reference to a job variable that shares the same name in versions 23.2 and later, trying to run the workflow will cause a validation error on the schema. Fixed the shared-nested JST input job variable name schema validation collision during workflow upgrade in 23.2 and later that was causing schema validation errors when attempting to run that upgraded workflow. |
| ENG-6533 | When running a transformation, nested default and const keywords are not being used if an assignment is made from the parent object. Updated our logic for obtaining instance data to check for nested default and const values within incoming schemas of type object. |
| ENG-6603 | Previously, fields within a JSON Form schema combination would not respect the value of the 'required' property when previewing the form. This ticket ensures that said fields will now accurately reflect the user's configuration. |
| ENG-6641 | When trying to type a negative number into an integer or number field, the minus sign is ignored and the workflow zooms out. Added support for negative numbers. |
| ENG-6666 | Fixed issue where when moving assets from the global space into a single Project space the child workflow references were broken. |
| ENG-6688 | Fixed an issue in Golden Configuration that would cause incorrect compliance failures when a line contained regular expressions. |
| ENG-6713 | When viewing an errored task in Operations Manager, the text could extend beyond the viewable area. Updated the task Error tab in Operations Manager to display the entirety of any error message. |
| ENG-6725 | When making changes to a Golden Config in Configuration Manager, an invalid JSON would cause the config to be un-savable and yet the user would see no error message. Moved JSON parsing of the Golden Config under a code block with error handling which spits out the JSON error to the user instead. |
| ENG-6898 | Enhanced validation on open of a project to prevent rendering issues when opening a corrupted project. |
| ENG-7144 | JSON Forms Dropdown Search works properly when there are multiple pages. |
| ENG-7253 | Fixed a bug with HTTP methods where returning a code without sanitization would cause the platform to crash. Added sanitization of HTTP API error code response to prevent crash of Itential Platform. |
| ENG-7438 | When running a transformation that contains schema keys with special characters without a default keyword set the transformation fails when the revertToDefaultValue option is set to true. Updated the run transformation logic to ensure the provided input is used in this case. |
| ENG-7453 | When opening a function that is used as a function step, the step object is corrupted which causes runtime issues if the step is part of a conditional path e.g. if...else or switch paths. Updated the open function logic to prevent the step object from being corrupted. |
| ENG-7465 | Updated the form schema to allow for null default values on a numberField. |
| ENG-7550 | Implemented RSA public key and Key ID (KID) variable logging for JSON Web Token (JWT) failure. |
| ENG-7732 | No release note needed. This was found internally. |
| ENG-7910 | Fixed the setup of Itential Platform' s systemd unit file for systemctl restart and systemctl stop, allowing it to clean up its child services and preventing race conditions that resulted in an unclean redis state. Changes apply to all released versions of Itential Platform. |
| ENG-7973 | When an IAG task was run and no Automation Gateway adapter was available to handle it, the task would enter the success state. An opt-in configuration option was added to Automation Gateway Manager to cause these tasks to enter the error state instead. |
| ENG-8032 | Duplicate labels in a JSON form dynamic dropdown are now supported. |
| ENG-8303 | Fixed the ability to export a workflow that has a configured JST on looping childJob task that is missing at the time of export |
| ENG-8305 | When creating a big number of golden configuration tree nodes in Config Manager, the last couple of nodes' pop over menu was hidden from the browser due to in-correct menu location. Fixed the menu position from bottom to left so every nodes can show pop over menu. |
| ENG-8493 | Fixed a bug in processing Integration Models with operationIds that contained special characters (not a-z A-Z or _) that was causing the associated tasks to be considered invalid. |
| ENG-8577 | Fixed an issue where a success notification would incorrectly show when all task instances for a compliance runs failed to execute. |
| ENG-8587 | Fixed a bug in workflow validation that resulted in attempts to save, import, or run a workflow that contained certain JSTs to error with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'type'). |
| ENG-9084 | Golden Configuration regex did not support certain special characters such as brackets. Updated Configuration Manager to support such special characters. |
| ENG-9204 | Fixed unit tests issues relating to itential-utils discovery updates. |
| ENG-9413 | Disabled problematic line wrapping feature for task data code editors to avoid page crashes due to high RAM consumption. |
| ENG-9442 | JST functions containing function steps are not rendering their methods and transitions on the canvas. Applied a fix to the JST engine to ensure these documents are migrated correctly and display as expected. |
