SharePlex Manager 3.1 - Release Notes

Known Issues

The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of this release.

Known Issue Defect ID
If the same SharePlex instance belongs to more than one stream, it will be listed multiple times in the Instance field drop-down list in the Parameter console (once for each stream it belongs to). Also, if the same instance acts as both a Source and Target, it will be listed twice: one entry will be the source entry that when selected will show the source modules; the other entry will be the target entry that when selected will show the target parameter modules. This means that to set the same value for Import, Export, or Post process parameters for a SharePlex instance in all the streams it is a part of, you must set that parameter in each stream separately using the “ALL” setting in the Queue Name field.
