Version Control 6.3 Release Notes

3 Issues and workarounds
The VCRM and VCA undergo rigorous testing before releasing any given version of the product.
From HP test activities to date, the following items have been uncovered that you should keep in
mind.
VCRM
• Issue: Auto update appears to complete successfully, but no files are downloaded.
Description: This situation can occur when no VCA is configured to use the VCRM and no
operating system is selected in (Download Integrity Support Packs and ProLiant Support Packs]
settings page in VCRM.
Workaround: To resolve the issue, you must configure at least one VCA to use the VCRM or
use the VCRM's change repository and update settings option and click Next to open Download
Integrity Support Packs and ProLiant Support Packs settings page in VCRM and select any
operating system from the list to be downloaded by the auto update process.
• Issue: Selecting Support Pack selects all the components contained in that support pack.
Description: When creating a Custom Software Baseline, if you select a Support Pack, it selects
all the components contained in that Support Pack.
Workaround: You can deselect a component from the Support Pack if you do not want to
include it.
• Issue: Uploading PSP or ISP from IE 5.5 SP 1 or earlier browsers produces an invalid support
pack in the catalog.
Description: If a ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack is uploaded from a system using Internet
Explorer 5.5 with Service Pack 1 or earlier, the upload window shows that the upload process
is complete. However, the copied components are corrupted, thus producing an invalid support
pack in the catalog. These corrupted components do not get replaced with any subsequent
uploads, even if they are uploaded from a supported browser.
Workaround: HP recommends that you stop the VCRM service, locating the repository folder,
deleting the corrupted files, and restarting the VCRM service. Perform an upload from a system
with Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 or higher.
• Issue:Using the CERN proxy.
Workaround: If you are using the CERN proxy, HP recommends configuring the VCRM to use
the HTTP proxy port instead of the FTP proxy port.
• Issue: Proxy Feature Testing.
Description: The following proxy applications were used in the testing of the VCRM Automatic
Update feature using a proxy server. Most of the testing was with default proxy setups and
various security settings. However, different users can define their own site-specific security
rules and configure their own proxy servers in many different ways.
