Upgrading to V7-1.7000

  2. Stop the Nexus Server.
  3. Extract the archive to the installation directory, overwriting existing files.
  4. Start the Nexus Server.


Reported Bugs


  1. The serverless JSON database cannot be deleted due to a permission error. As a workaround, manually remove the JSON database folder and then retry the Delete action.
  2. Start-Pin does not launch the Instances-xvm console session. As a workaround, navigate to Instances-xvm and open the console.



Version V7-1.6000


Fixes


Nebula Deployment
  • The Nebula deployment occasionally failed due to an invalid certificate error with the RHEL/Debian Linux repository. This issue has now been resolved by re-certifying the repository and updating the new locations.

Nexus Flow-fx
  • Flow-fx sometimes notified too late that the save operation was successful.



Version V7-1.5103


Fixes


Magna-s3 API
  • Fixed an issue with the auto load balancer where the least connection property was not set correctly, causing it to default to the round-robin method.
Data Spark-solaris API
  • Fixed an issue with the dataspark-solaris-submit-job command that was not logging the requestor object, which resulted in unknown job names appearing in the logs.



Known Issues


Data Insight
  • Data Insight services are not accessible via Vista because the Vista Connect client receives access policies from the Vista API, which currently does not forward Data Insight cloud policies.
