Known Issues and Limitations in this release

Limitations:

· Encode categorical feature transform fails with MODIN data frame library if the selected features contain different values.

· Cache functionality might not work as intended while using MODIN data frame library.

· Select all data sourcing objects does not work as intended during workspace provisioning.

· Error log table creation fails if the column data types are LONG, CLOB, BLOB, BFILE, and ADT during Sandbox data population.

· The PDF of the Model Report does not contain data in the output section.

· Unable to perform dataset cache with Modin library.
