Known Issues

NetIQ Corporation strives to ensure our products provide quality solutions for your enterprise software needs. The following issues are currently being researched. If you need further assistance with any issue, please contact Technical Support.

Additional Advanced Analytics Service Fails to Collect Data from QDBs

Issue:	If you add a second Advanced Analytics Service and register it with an Advanced Analytics Configuration Service where an Advanced Analytics Service is already registered, the new Advanced Analytics Service fails to collect data from the QDBs you previously added to the Advanced Analytics Console.
Workaround:	After you register the second Advanced Analytics Service with the Configuration Service, wait a few minutes and then restart the second Advanced Analytics Service.

Knowledge Scripts for QDBs Added to Integration Adapter Through CCDB Unavailable in Advanced Analytics Console

Issue:	If you use AppManager to add QDBs to a CCDB and then add the CCDB to the AppManager Integration Adapter, Knowledge Scripts for the QDBs might not be available for configuring rules in the Advanced Analytics Console.
Workaround:	Add the QDBs directly to the AppManager Integration Adapter.

Configuration Service Rejects Connections from Advanced Analytics Service and Console Does Not Refresh

Issue:

If you did not specify a fully-qualified domain name when you provided account information for the Advanced Analytics Configuration Service during installation, the Configuration Service might reject connections from the Advanced Analytics Service even though both services are running. As a result, the Advanced Analytics Console does not reflect current information.

Workaround:

Complete the following steps:

WARNING: Be careful when editing your Windows registry. If there is an error in your registry, your computer might become nonfunctional. If an error occurs, you can restore the registry to its state when you last successfully started your computer. For more information, see the Help for the Windows Registry Editor.

1. On the Configuration Service computer, start the Windows Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NetIQ\IQConnectServices\Advanced Analytics\Configuration Service.

3. Edit the value of defaultAuthDomain to be the fully-qualified domain name of the account under which the Configuration Service runs.
