I should have added that not everyone will be affected by the issues found
but we had stability problems with it.  

 

We're not using EEM either  but had 3 crashes on our dev server in the space
of 4-5 days.  My colleague testing it found other issues too (which I can't
recall many of right now) but for CA to pull it from release means there
must have been some major issues with it for various other people as well.
I'm holding off H04 on our main production systems until we get a stable
release.

My understanding from CA is that it was pulled because it caused a problem
in the Spectrum<->EEM integration, which we're not using. Regardless, we're
stuck on H04 since hotfixes do not contain a rollback mechanism like patches
do. We're putting in an ER for this.

Jim - HF04 has been pulled due to an inordinate number of bugs!  If you can
roll back to H03 until HF04 is "fixed" I'd strongly advise it.

As promised, here's an update on the issues from my previous email - all
four were addressed in H04. I'm awaiting final confirmation from our
reporting guru on the SRM issue, but I believe it's been resolved. Also,
we're occasionally getting duplicate notifications again, but the debug
looks different from the last time this happened, so we're treating it as a
separate issue.

Because of these fixes (and others) we installed H04 as soon as it was
available, so I can provide some early feedback.

*       We've found two events (so far) that are no longer logged to the
events database (0x1010a and 0x1010d, for model attr changes). We're going
to now conduct a full audit of what other undocumented event changes came
with H04. 
*       It seems that our failover servers are sometimes being started as
root instead of ssadmin, which is mangling file permissions. The problem
started after H04, but it's not clear why yet, partly because it's only
happening on some of our failover servers. 
*       The negative alarm counts issue citied in the release notes is not
(completely) fixed, and we already have a new ticket open on it.


That's all I have so far on H04. When I have anything else of note, I'll
definitely share it with the group.

HTH,
Jim
