•
Title: Interactive report is not reporting on duplicate IP Addresses.
Description:Assume two devices configured with the same IP address on some interfaces. For instance, they have 3 interfaces and all three have a different IP address per device but repeated across the devices. Hence the portal says, there is 3 duplicate IP address for this Inv1. The duplicate IP address is looked for an EC and the inventory element. Now, the portal says 3, which is correct but clicking on report link which gets to interactive report, report says "No data found for the selection". This is incorrect. Duplicate IP address should be picked up by the report as well.
Workaround: None.•
Title:View Inventory says Device unreachable. Adding a device is not collecting inventory.
Description:Add a device through Device Manager. And even after scheduling inventory on that device with credentials, the inventory is not collected. The View Inventory says Device unreachable which is incorrect.
Workaround:None.•

Description: When inventory engine is stopped, any inventory collection activity should be stopped and their status should be updated appropriately. When the inventory engine is started again, DAV status is still "running'
Workaround:None.•
Title:Delta Reports in PDF and CSV format not complete.
Description: Delta Reports PDF and CSV contain only column headers / Delta drill down PDF and CSV contain incorrect details. Both files have only the column headers, even though there were changes as displayed on the web version of the report. Also, the PDF is missing the selection criteria user specifies to bring up the delta report.
Workaround: None.•
Title:Internal Server Error on Interactive Report.
Description: An Internal error occurs when running an Interactive Report via the Notification Profiles. This happens when selecting an Inventory for a Entitled Company using the Inventory Link on the right panel and clicking on Interactive report.
Workaround:This error occurs only during a specific sequence of operations. In general to avoid this error while navigating to interactive reports, first open a static report and then using the report - inventory - interactive report toolbar option open the interactive reports.•
Title: Any user can change the Admin password.
Description: The /sa/modifyUserPassword.do file does not properly verify the identity and role of a user attempting to modify another user's passwords. Using a modified HTTP POST request any Inventory Collection Engine user - regardless of the role - may modify the password for any other user including the `admin' password without knowing the current password of the targeted account.
Workaround: None available.•
Title: Delta Report selection criteria date filter - year 2005 missing.
