236261 If you delete the node associated with a Model Repository Service, the JVM Command Line Options advanced service property isset to null. As a result, you cannot edit any Model Repository Service properties.Workaround: Add the following default value to the JVM Command Line Options property:-Xms256m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

235652 LDAP user privileges assignments are lost when you upgrade a PowerCenter 8.1.1 Repository Service.(fixed in 9.0.1 HotFix 1)

234580 Model repository databases on IBM DB2 contain inconsistent data when the service upgrade fails.Workaround: Complete the following steps to retry the Model Repository Service upgrade:1. Delete the contents of the Model repository database.

Use infacmd mrs DeleteContents or the IBM DB2 database client to delete the contents of the database.2. Use the IBM DB2 database client to restore the 9.0 Model repository from a backup.3. Use the upgrade wizard to upgrade the Model Repository Service.

234182 If you run three or more Reporting Services on an HP-UX 11.31 node, the JBoss process that runs the Reporting Services fails.Workaround: Allocate more memory to JBoss.1. Use a text editor to open the run.conf file in the following directory:

/tomcat/jboss/bin2. Search for the following text:JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms3. Set the values for Xms and Xmx to 1024 or more. For example:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000"

4. Restart the Reporting Services.

231425 The Service Manager cannot upgrade or import LDAP subgroups that have the same name. For example, you have the followinggroups in an 8.6.1 LDAP security domain or in an LDAP directory service:- Parent_Group1- Child_Group- Parent_Group2- Child_GroupWhen the Service Manager upgrades the 8.6.1 LDAP security domain or imports the LDAP users and groups, the Service Managerremoves the first Child_Group and keeps the second Child_Group. The second Child_Group becomes the subgroup of both parentgroups.

Domain upgrade, domain restart, and LDAP user synchronization processing time increases proportionally with the number ofusers in the domain. When the domain contains more than 1,000 users, the domain may shut down unexpectedly and the EditRoles and Privileges dialog box fails to launch for LDAP users.Workaround: Increase the system memory used by the domain. Complete the following steps on each gateway node to increasethe system memory for the domain:1. Go to the /tomcat/bin directory and open infaservice.(bat|sh) in a text file editor.2. Update the -Xmx value for INFA_JAVA_OPTS.

In infaservice.bat, update the following line of code: set INFA_JAVA_OPTS=%INFA_JAVA_OPTS% -XX:GCTimeRatio=9 -Xmx512mIn infaservice.sh, update the following line of code: INFA_JAVA_OPTS="${INFA_JAVA_OPTS} -XX:GCTimeRatio=9 -Xmx512m"For example, to set the system memory to 2 GB, use -Xmx2048m.

224060 If the Administrator tool is configured to use HTTPS and the keystore file is deleted, you cannot access the Administrator tool.Workaround:Create a keystore file for the Administrator tool in the directory indicated in the following log file:\tomcat\temp\_AdminConsole\logs\catalina..logView the log file and search for the log message that shows the expected location of the keystore file:LifecycleException: service.getName(): "_AdminConsole"; Protocolhandler start failed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: (No such file or directory)For example:LifecycleException: service.getName(): "_AdminConsole"; Protocolhandler start failed: java.io.FileNotFoundException:/export/home/901/source/isp/bin/keystore_lin64 (No such file or directory)In this error message, the expected location of the keystore file is /export/home/901/source/isp/bin and the keystore file name iskeystore_lin64.

222640 You must specify the Java memory values in megabytes. You cannot specify gigabytes or kilobytes.(fixed in 9.0.1 HotFix 1)

222472 You cannot convert an existing master gateway node to serve as a worker node.

222403 The infasetup isp defineDomain command returns incorrect error messages when the command contains tablespace errors.
