Resolved Issues
The following issues were resolved in this release.
| Product(s) | Internal Number | Case Number | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| All | VOV-5570 | Fixed behavior of the ROWCOUNT field used by vovselect and related commands; vovselect will print "0" instead of an empty string when there are no rows in the query, and will print a correct count instead of 0 for "vovselect rowcount from objects". | |
| All | VOV-12721 | Fixed an issue with the 2020.1.0 beta that caused a user to be logged out of a web session for one product when the user logged into a different product session in the same browser. | |
| All | VOV-9853 | 24114 | When determining if a shell is configured for a project, the environment variables VOV_PROJECT_NAME and VOV_HOST_NAME must be set. New checks were added to ensure the values of these variables may not be empty strings and may not be set to "unknown". |
| All | VOV-12027 | CS0120819 | Add the previously missing documentation for the vovlicensemgr command. |
| All | VOV-12583 | Fixed an issue where querying for "maxnumacores" was returning the total number of cores in the system instead of the maximum number of cores in a NUMA node. | |
| FlowTracer | VOV-10362 | 24393 | Fix to retrace all the jobs of selected sets in vovconsole hierarchically. |
| FlowTracer | VOV-12090 | The default product name is now "ft" and is no longer determined by a prefix of the project name. The product name "auto" is no longer supported. | |
| FlowTracer | VOV-12203 | CS0120999 | When a job is submitted by FlowTracer to an indirect tasker and the job is associated with a class, the resource list could contain duplicate entries because it was constructed as a union of two resource lists. Construction of the resource list now ensures duplicates are avoided. |
| None | VOV-11221 | 25011 | Monitor email notifications set in the Admin->Notifications UI page using legacy mode email delivery had failed to successfully deliver email to the recipient. |
| All | VOV-10844 | Provide a REST API addition to allow job control. The following operations can be performed via the v3 REST API: 1. Dispatch 2. Forget 3. Preempt 4. Rerun 5. Resume 6. Suspend | |
| All | VOV-10913 | Fixed a bug that caused vovselect to issue an error when requesting the field "env" in all lowercase. | |
