| Bug No. | Related SR | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 21118965 | 3-10755327581 | ASAP now creates OrderFailEvent with the sub-elements in the correct order. |
| 20991387 | 3-10373695771 | There is no longer a memory leak in CTRL Server when it processes a SYS_INFO event that is not mapped to an alarm, or the alarm is not enabled. Hence the CTRL server memory usage no longer increases when it receives a large number of SYS_INFO events continuously. |
| 20824037 | 3-10480175751 | If an additional NEP is configured in ASAP, and it follows a naming convention of NEPXENV_ID (where X represents any character and ENV_ID is the ASAP environment ID), the additional NEP is no longer deleted during an ASAP upgrade. |
| 20682611 | 3-10418771791 | When a web service order contains only one CSDL, the CSDL history and ASDL history of the order can now be viewed in the OCA Client. |
| 19630689 | 3-9574681571 | JNEP now initializes correctly when there is a \u character in an environment variable. |
| 19335652 | 3-9390049701 | If the wls_host in the ASAP.properties file is a hostname starting with t, the cartridges can now be installed and uninstalled using the command line utilities installCartridge and uninstallCartridge. |
| 19288123 | 3-9186376411 | The namespace prefix in an ASAP order no longer causes an XMLParseException error when the JSRP ErrorResponseBean generates createOrderByValueException. |
| 19031852 | 3-9200714451 | SARM no longer terminates when processing work orders with a large number of CSDL parameters. |
| 18679274 | 3-8925244463 | The messages that are generated in the CreateDatabase log during ASAP installation no longer contain the word "rollback," which could be misleading. The messages now use the word "revert." |
| 17973805 | 3-8212788681 | The ASAP export_tool.sh script no longer incorrectly classifies the ASAP Daemon entry as an SRP component. |
| 17740443 | 3-8005923931 | ASAP installation no longer fails on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.10. |
| 17331739 | 3-7646560069 | SARM no longer crashes because of a non-breaking space (0xA0) in the work order ID. |
| 17301035 | 3-7583149031 | The NEP can now process very large numbers of return CSDL parameters efficiently and is now faster when sending the return parameters to SARM. |
| 17191886 | 3-7553322656 | The getSecureData() method now returns the expected value when the security level is set to SECU_ON. |
| 16998488 | 3-7389481111 | The entire ASDL mapping table is no longer logged each time a JNEP connection request is processed. The ASDL mapping table is now logged only in error scenarios. |
| 16972467 | 3-7390398971 | ASAP can now handle situations where a port conflict is detected on JSRP event listener ports. |
| 16838682 | 3-7241972891 | SARM no longer exits during partial rollback for cases where no ASDLs executed prior to the point-of-no-return ASDL. |

| 16494125 | 3-6793918921 | The waitfor() method now works using SSH protocol. |
The following table lists the enhancements included in this release of ASAP.
This section lists the known issues in this release of ASAP.
| Bug No. | Description |
|---|---|
| 21140323 | The OCA thick client uninstaller does not start on Windows using Java 8. The following error is displayed: The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104)
Oracle recommends using Java 7 to uninstall the OCA thick client. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle Communications\ASAP\_uninst>"c:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar uninstall.jar |
| 20666743 | Under maximum throughput scenarios, there may be performance degradation if you are using Oracle Database Client 12c. Oracle recommends using Oracle Database Client 11g (11.2.0.4). |
| 13839793 | The ASAP installer fails to upgrade ASAP when you enable SSL in the wizard.
To work around this problem, do not enable SSL in the wizard during the upgrade. Instead, enable SSL after the upgrade is complete:
See ASAP System Administrator's Guide for information about editing configuration or properties files or using the WebLogic Server Administration Console. |
| 11783843 | The OCA installer does not interact with Windows User Accounts Control correctly. This causes the OCA desktop shortcuts to not execute the OCA client.
Open the desktop shortcut properties and manually change the values in the Target and Start in fields. The Target field needs to contain the path to the javaw.exe and the OCAClient lib. The Start in field needs to contain the path to the OCAClient lib. For example, if the javaw.exe exists in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and the OCAClient is installed in the default location (C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle Communications\ASAP), you would modify the fields as below:
