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.
Issue: When you launch Designer on a Mac running on macOS Sonoma, you may notice an inverted splash screen. This issue is only observed on macOS Sonoma and does not affect the functionality of Designer. Therefore, you can safely ignore it. (Issue: OCTCR56A585814)
Issue: When Provisioning Request Definition is associated with a new JSON form, the Compare feature does not display form dependencies. This happens when Compare > Reconcile operation is used for deploying the PRD, changes in the form fields does not get deployed.
Workaround: Use the Deploy feature to see the form dependencies and to deploy the changes made in the form.
Issue: In Form Builder, if you modify attribute of a field, for example Select field from single value to multiple value, the change is not reflected in PRD. The PRD in the text editor shows target-type="single-value" as shown below:
<data-item
data-type="string" name="select2"
target="flowdata.Start/selectfieldrequest/select2"
target-type="single-value"/>
Workaround: To update the change target-type="multi-value-list" in PRD, perform the following actions:
Go to the PRD view and click the activity associated with the form. This updates the target-type="multi-value-list" for the Select field.
Save and deploy the PRD.
Issue: When a token-map verb is used in a project that contains the src attribute, the project does not work as expected when you try to edit the mapping from Designer. This issue is observed because the src attribute is no longer supported.
Workaround: To work around this issue, perform the following steps:
Log in to Designer.
Navigate to the policy containing the token-map verb.
Navigate to the XML Source tab.
Modify all the occurrences of src attribute to source manually.
Save the policy.
Deploy the changes.
Issue: When you validate a policy in Designer, the project checker displays incorrect errors. Errors such as A '(' character or an element type is required in the declaration of element type if-dest-attr and error against valid policies from REST, SAP, AD and other drivers are reported. (Issue: OCTCR56A580475)
Workaround: Manually modify if-dest-attr and if-src-attr attributes in dirxmlscript4.8.3.dtd document available at the DTD location. For example: C:\NetIQ\IDM\apps\Designer\plugins\com.novell.idm.policybuilder_4.0.0.202102182056\DTD\dirxmlscript4.8.3.dtd
In the dirxmlscript4.8.3.dtd document search and replace below attribute rules:
<!ELEMENT if-dest-attr (((arg-dn | arg-association),( value? | component* ))? | (#PCDATA | component)*)> to <!ELEMENT if-dest-attr (#PCDATA | component | arg-dn | arg-association | value)*>
<!ELEMENT if-src-attr (((arg-dn | arg-association),( value? | component* ))? | (#PCDATA | component)*)> to <!ELEMENT if-src-attr (#PCDATA | component | arg-dn | arg-association | value)*>
