Known Issues

IXIA CCMS WEB

  • [DEV-6980] In IXIA CCMS Web, moving a topic to Authoring:complete (or equivalent status) creates a blank Revision History entry that is visible in IXIA CCMS Desktop.
  • [DEV-6756] The IXIA CCMS Web installation program does not support the following characters in the password as clear text: & ‘ “. These characters can be used if the password is encrypted.
  • [DEV-6734] The Collaborative Review in IXIA CCMS Web does not display text contained within a <shortdesc> element.
  • [DEV-6717] When a topic is edited in IXIA CCMS Web, the XML is always reformatted to pretty-printed.
  • [DEV-6018] When map templates include auto-generated topics in IXIA CCMS Web, topics are created but they are not automatically assigned. This issue occurs when the method name=”CreateTopic” in the accessrights.xml file is configured for multiple roles and the first role is not active.

IXIA CCMS DESKTOP

  • [DEV-7179] When generating output on a snapshot, the Ditaval dialog box is blank and does not list existing ditavals.
