Known Issues and Limitations

Onboarding

  • Java Client: command-line on-boarding does not support API token but does support JWT
  • R Client: command-line on-boarding does not support API token but does support JWT

Design Studio

  • Design Studio Data Broker, Splitter, and Collator functionality requires that specific toolkit models be on-boarded; see the ../../AcumosUser/portal-admin/addendum/onboard-ds-toolkits section in the Portal and Marketplace Admin Guide for details.

Portal Marketplace UI

  • Manage Themes - selecting themes - the instruction in the modal dialog states “Choose your tags…” but if you select more than one tag, the error message “You cannot select more than one tag” is displayed; only single tag selection is supported at this time

  • ON-BOARDING MODEL page contains incorrect URLs: To know more about on-boarding, please have a look at : https://docs.acumos.org/en/latest/AcumosUser/portal-user/portal/index.html should be https://docs.acumos.org/en/athena/AcumosUser/portal-user/portal/index.html

  • Web On-boarding: Quit(X) is not working during and after uploading of files for web on-boarding

  • Deploy to Local: Help link displayed in the pop-up window does not work

  • Notification: Solution name is not displayed in the notification after a user published the model to the Company Marketplace

  • Publishing a Model to Company or Public Marketplace

    • A newly added tag is not displayed on the model tiles on the Marketplace and Manage My Model pages when a user publishes a model; workaround: to add a new tag – after the model has been published, you need to go back to Publish to Company or Publish to Public and type in the tag name and then click someplace else on the screen for the tag to be added to the model (tag is still not added to drop-down list)
    • Status is not moving for states when a model is published to Company
  • Publish Request

    • Filter is applied to entire list but existing page breaks are maintained even if filter results are less than selected number of records/page; workaround: select to show more requests/page than number of requests in the list

Security Notes

Integrated security and license scanning of models is not available.
