Item Problem Resolution
1 Live Pipes: When the port models in the
port link list node were zero, the user
received “Access Denied message” in
Enable Live Pipe GIB View.
This was resolved by adjusting the code
to skip permission checking on the model
if the model handle is zero.
2 Online Backup: A user attempted to
perform online backups on his Windows
machine but the backup failed because
the
tmpdir directory was not being
removed. After troubleshooting the
issue, it was found that the location of
the
Backup Directory did not include
the Windows drive letter.
This was resolved by modifying the code
so that when SS creates the backup
directory specified by the user, it must
check, when it runs in windows platform,
if the drive exists in the backup directory
or not. If it does not, it will update the
directory with the current drive used.
3
Processd was crashing when there was
a zero length runtime file in the runtime
directory. It could occur the first time
processd was started and stopped before
the runtime file ever got written to disk.
To avoid
processd crashing when
reading in a zero length file, a change
was made to first check the length of the
file before reading it into memory. If the
file is zero length, it is removed.
