The following bugs have been fixed in this patch:
Bug 876774: cmMobile: Unable to create workload template - error: Missing Selection.
Adjustments for null pointer exception in IdentityContextManager.
Adjustments to the ForceWorkflowCompletionCommand command to attempt to clean up Business Service Requests and Change Requests that have no workflow.
Enhanced workflow-related logging.
Bug 861085 - [FTF] NCM 2.2.0/2.2.2 Imported machine adding new NIC fails - Error No root disk found.
Fixed an issue with datastore search: Searching from the root directory rather than the subdirectory, which caused provisioning jobs to take a long time to complete.
Fixed an issue with detecting a virtual machine’s (VM’s) VNC port configuration: Occasionally, VMware vSphere reflected an empty string "" as the value, causing a failure when casting an empty string to an integer. The fix added a check to make sure there is a value in the extra configuration port setting for a VM before trying to cast it to an integer.
Formerly, the contents of the .../config, .../console, and .../plugins directories located on the Cloud Manager Application Server were accessible with a web browser, making those folder listings visible to users. This potential security issue was resolved by making those folders forbidden to browsing.

cmos.zip (for the Orchestration Server), which includes these files:
