Known Issues and Limitations
ISSUE DESCRIPTION | FOUND IN VERSION | TARGET VERSION FOR FIX | JIRA ID# |
|---|---|---|---|
| On some Windows clients, the sapclientplugin cannot be launched from E2E Trace Wizard because binary is not code signed and causes UAC pop up | 2.x | 2.1.5 | |
| Hardware Summary Analysis report not working when BI is running on AIX platform. This is a limitation of the SAP Host Agent. ETA for a fix to the SAP Host Agent is unknown at this point. | 2.x | Unknown | |
E2E Trace Wizard : In some cases, using a domain user from a different domain (not the domain of the user currently logged on to windows) causes the SAP Client Plug-in Administrator logon to fail. (this logon allows the SAP Client Plug-in to start under local administrative access). Workaround 2: Uncheck the option to Use Integrated SAP Client Plug-in and on step 3 manually launch the SAP Client Plug-in from the location: <BIPST_INSTALL_DIR>\BISupport\bin\sapclientplugin | 2.x | ||
