Configuration Server Proxy requirements for Flexera License Manager (FlexLM) server may vary. Confirm with the “What’s New” section of release notes for each version you are deploying. If you have to upgrade FlexLM, the latest version can be found on Management Framework DVD.
Configuration Layer components do not support usage of the non-default port of Configuration Server. These components must be configured to contact the current primary master Configuration Server using its default port only.
You can skip Configuration Server 8.5.x (prior to 8.5.101) verification of License Reporting Manager (LRM) software that is present in your system when installing a new environment, or when upgrading an existing environment to Configuration Database 8.5 format.
Before you launch Configuration Server against a new or converted database for the first time, start or restart Configuration Server using the parameter -preparedb, as follows:
- On Windows: confserv.exe -preparedb
- On UNIX: ./confserv -preparedb
This parameter forces Configuration Server to start in utility mode, validate and update the Configuration Database, and then exit. Review the Configuration Server log to see the success message. If necessary, set the verbose configuration option to debug or to all to see all messages. You can then restart Configuration Server using the commands and options described in the Framework Deployment Guide, ignoring any references and commands relating to LRM.
If you are using the Solaris platform, Genesys strongly recommends that you use DB Server to access the Configuration Database. Accessing the Database directly will cause excessive CPU usage for the Configuration Server Proxies. Do not configure auto-restart for both the primary and backup master Configuration Servers in a redundant pair.
Mixed language mode for Configuration Server is intended for use in limited deployments, as described in the White Paper entitled Deploying Genesys for Key Mixed Language Scenarios. Use of this information in conjunction with any scenarios not explicitly covered in this white paper may lead to unpredictable results.
If you used an older version of Genesys Administrator or Configuration Manager to create new Access Groups by copying an existing predefined access group (such as Administrators or EVERYONE), you might not be able to remove the new Groups through Configuration Server; you can only do this directly in the Configuration Database.
Workaround: To avoid this situation, use the latest version of Genesys Administrator available. If you have already experienced this issue and were unable to remove some Groups, please contact Genesys Technical Support for detailed instructions.
Configuration Conversion Wizard (CCW) is not localized. However, when operating with a localized version of Windows, CCW displays part of the text in the local language. As a result, CCW screens contain text partially in English and partially in the local language.
When configuring Host objects for the Windows server hosts running the Windows 2012 and earlier operating systems, do not specify Windows as the OS Type. Instead, select the specific version of Windows that the Host machine is running.
If the Configuration Database contains corrupted password fields resulting from, for example, improper manual updating of the database, and these fields contain characters that cannot be represented properly by Genesys Administrator, attempting to launch Genesys Administrator against this database would cause an error. To prevent this from occurring, examine any database fields that you may have modified manually, and correct their values.
On Windows, PostgreSQL DB client may terminate unexpectedly or operate incorrectly if any of the environment variables used by PostgreSQL to locate files on the filesystem are provisioned without proper escaping of "\" character. Make sure you provision the Windows paths according to the PostgreSQL documentation. For more details, see PostgreSQL Databases.
Configuration Server version 8.5.101.98 running in the Linux machine terminates unexpectedly when config DB Server running in the Windows machine is stopped or switched over.
Workaround: Use Configuration Server version 8.5.101.96 for remote config DB Server connections and Configuration Server version 8.5.101.98 or later for direct connections.

Starting from Configuration Server version 8.5.101.47, VAG calculation Configuration Server proxy provides only a debug log message indicating mandatory log truncation when it cannot deliver full details of history to a client. This makes it impossible to set up an automated alarm to cover situations when Interaction Concentrator has to be re-synchronized after being down for a prolonged period of time.
Workaround: You have to monitor Configuration Server logs for the Proxy-side VAG: expandable transaction in history log text and force synchronization on ICON side.

Configuration Server unexpectedly shuts down when attempting to connect and authorize a user who is configured for LDAP external authentication (that is, with a non-empty External User ID) if the corresponding Person object contains the gauth_ldap[_<n>] sections without the ldap-url options. If the ldap-url options are present, but contain invalid URLs, the problem does not reproduce. The problem was introduced in Configuration Server 8.5.101.39.
Workaround: Ensure that the gauth_ldap[_<n>] sections in the Person objects contain the ldap-url options.
Note: Take care when using space delimiters (dashes vs. underscores) and case-sensitive section/option names. (A common issue that causes the problem is misspelling the ldap-url option name, such as "ldap_url").

If a configuration option is changed in a primary Configuration Server, and there is a mismatch in a Transport Parameter between the primary and backup Configuration Servers, the backup server is updated with the value of the Transport Parameter in the primary server.
Workaround: To avoid this issue, configure the Transport Parameters at the application or host level (not at the connection level), or break the link between the HA pair before configuring distinct values at the connection level.

If [security-authentication-rules].password-no-repeats is set to a value greater than 1 in the Tenant in which the "default" user resides, after a user changes the password of the default user once, Configuration Server no longer allows any changes to the default user object. The user might also disappear from the root folder after subsequent restarts of Configuration Server. Make sure you change the default password first, before you configure any password history rules in you system.

On the RHEL 7.x and 8.x, CentOS, Oracle, or SUSE Linux platform, and when using LDAP external authentication, Configuration Server does not open the LDAP authentication library (./libgauth_ldap_64.so) even if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is set correctly and the library is available. The following log event is generated instead:
Std 22302 External authentication configuration error: Authentication library [./libgauth_ldap_64.so] could not be opened. Reason ./libgauth_ldap_64.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
This problem occurs because another dependent library (libsasl2.so) has a different name on the RHEL 7.x and 8.x platforms.
Workaround: Manually create a symbolic link for libsasl2.so with a name compatible with what Configuration Server expects, by entering the following commands:
cd /usr/lib64
ln -s libsasl2.so.3.0.0 libsasl2.so.2| ID: MFWK-17547 | Found In: 8.5.100.17 | Fixed In: |
If Configuration Server is provisioned to use external authentication, but [authentication]library=internal is set at the Tenant level, Configuration Server still performs external authentication for all users under that Tenant that have a value in their External ID field.

When Configuration Server Proxy disconnects from the master Configuration Server for some reason, it goes into Read-only mode, which is expected. However, when it tries to reconnect to the master server, the proxy server uses the wrong port.
Workaround: To avoid this problem, make sure that the connection parameters specified in the Configuration Server Proxy command line, used for the initial connection to the master Configuration Server, match those specified for the default port of the primary master server Application object (currently or originally named confserv).

Configuration Server might terminate unexpectedly and generate a core file when working in multi-threaded mode.
Workaround: If you are using Configuration Server 8.5.100.04 or later, do not switch the server to enable multi-threaded mode. If you are using previous versions of Configuration Server 8.5, turn off multi-threaded mode by setting the environment variable GCTI_CONFSERV_CONN_STARTUP_DEFAULT to 1 (one) before starting Configuration Server.

When using a PostgreSQL DBMS, the following Configuration History Log error messages are generated when Configuration Server starts up:
Incorrect history data format (can't read id)
This problem occurs if PostgreSQL is configured to operate in standard_conforming_strings=on mode. To avoid this problem, configure PostgreSQL with the option standard_conforming_strings=off and set the corresponding Configuration Server option postgre-standard-conforming-strings=off.
Note: There is a known problem that causes Configuration Server, operating with a PostgreSQL database in standard_conforming_strings=off mode and configured for the Shift-JIS locale, to incorrectly store the symbol 圭. Until the fix for this problem is available, and as only a temporary workaround, it is acceptable to run the PostgreSQL database in standard_conforming_strings=on mode and the Configuration Server option postgre-standard-conforming-strings set to on. In this case, the above error message can be ignored.

On the 32-bit Linux platform, Configuration Server sometimes terminates unexpectedly when attempting to generate a log message about an ADDP timeout expiring on any of its connections (for example, STANDARD 00-07041 Socket [X] is not responding within [n] milliseconds, remote socket [Y].)
This issue does not occur when Configuration Server is running on the 64-bit Linux platform.
Workaround: To avoid this problem, disable ADDP between Configuration Server and any other components, or use the 64-bit Linux platform.

When operating the Configuration Layer in multi-language mode, section and option names in the Annex sections of all Configuration objects containing non-ascii characters, must be limited to 64 characters. Configuration Server does not properly check the length of these fields and entering values that are longer than the above limit could result in failure of some Genesys applications. Manually verify that values are 64 characters or less when non-ascii symbols are present in sections and option names.

Configuration Conversion Wizard (CCW) cannot convert from single-language to multi-language database using MS SQL DBMS.
Workaround:
- Export the data from the source single-language MS SQL database using the Generate Scripts... wizard in UTF-8 format (see the MSFT documentation for MS SQL Studio for details).
- Create target multi-language database as advised in the Database Connectivity Reference Guide and initialize it using the init_*_multilang_mssql.sql script.
- Import the resulted script from the single-language MS SQL database into the multi-language database (see the MSFT documentation for MS SQL Studio for details to complete import). The primary constraint violation errors caused by the presence of duplicated records inserted by the init script can be ignored.

Configuration Server might take a long time to update the Virtual Agent Group if the Agent Group object contains a large list of agents.
Workaround: In the options of Configuration Server, in the [history-log] section, set the configuration option write-former-value to false so the previous value is not saved in the Configuration Server History Log. This setting takes effect immediately, and should improve performance during the update.
Note: Remember to set the option back to true after you are finished the update.

Some new 8.5 features may cause a noticeable degradation in performance of Configuration Server during object creation and update.
Workaround: Disable internal threads used by Configuration Server by doing the following:
- Install DB Server 8.1.
- Configure Configuration Server to use DB Server for database access. Refer to the Framework 8.1 Deployment Guide for details.
- In the Configuration Server configuration file, in the [confserv] section, set dbthread=false.
- Set the environment variable GCTI_CONFSERV_CONN_STARTUP_DEFAULT to 1 before starting Configuration Server.
- Restart Configuration Server.

When Configuration Server is running on UNIX and is configured to connect directly to the DBMS (the default behaviour), if it experiences connectivity issues with the DBMS, it might generate zombie (defunct) dbclient processes when trying to reconnect. The longer the Configuration Server is unable to reconnect to the DBMS, the more zombie (defunct) processes are created and consuming memory.
Workaround: To remove the zombie (defunct) processes, stop the main Configuration Server process.
Recommendation: Genesys strongly recommends that you restart Configuration Server if it is unable to connect to the DBMS for a long period of time. This avoids the creation of a large number of zombie (defunct) processes consuming memory.

In Linux environments with external authentication enabled and where users are allowed to enter password characters from the extended ASCII codes, Configuration Server may fail to properly encode passwords before sending them to the LDAP external authentication system if the code page used by Configuration Server process and the code page used by users entering their configuration passwords do not match. In this case, Configuration Server may send an empty password to the LDAP server, and depending on LDAP settings, this may result in successful authentication of users in Configuration Server even if the user did not enter a correct LDAP password.
Workaround: Genesys recommends all customers using external authentication to upgrade their Configuration Server to release 8.5.1 or make sure that code page settings are consistent between Configuration Server host and all other systems from which users are able to log in to Configuration Server.

If Configuration Server Proxy, or its backup server, loses its connection with the master Configuration Server while synchronizing data during initialization or reloading Configuration History Log data, the proxy server might not have a complete History Log. In addition, the proxy server might not open its listening port after it is fully initialized. To confirm that this has happened to the proxy server, check for log event 21-22135 accompanied by 21-22136.
Workaround: After you confirm that this has occurred on a primary or backup Configuration Server Proxy, restart that server.

When converting a database, Configuration Conversion Wizard (CCW) can create new configuration objects, the names of which might conflict with the names of existing configuration objects. In these cases, the new objects do not appear in Genesys Administrator.
For example, starting in release 8.1.1, CCW creates two new Application objects, Genesys Administrator and Genesys Administrator Server, during database conversion. If objects with these names already exist in the Configuration Database, the new objects will not appear in Genesys Administrator.
Workaround: Before running the Wizard, rename any existing objects for which the conflict will occur. Then, after running the Wizard, rename or delete the new objects and change the original objects back to their original names.

If any configuration change is made while another instance of Configuration Server Proxy and/or the master Configuration Server master in backup mode is starting up or reloading data, that Configuration Server instance might either receive incomplete data or terminate unexpectedly and must be restarted. Actual behavior might vary, and differs from version to version, as follows:
- Configuration Server 8.0.x and 8.1.x either terminates abnormally or might contain inconsistent data (compared to the master server from which it received data).
- Configuration Server 8.5.x might end up containing inconsistent data (compared to the master server from which it received data).
Inconsistent data includes missing or duplicated objects. After Configuration Server Proxy starts up or reloads the data, it will display inconsistent data in Genesys Administrator and any other applications connected to the Proxy server. Likewise, the backup master Configuration Server will reveal inconsistent data to applications that connect to it after it has switched over into primary mode.

Internationalization Issues
Information in this section is included for international customers. Release numbers in the Found In and Fixed In fields refer to the English (US) release of Configuration Server unless otherwise noted in the issue description.
Note: Product translation is limited to contents of this product only. Display data coming from other products might appear in English.
When you search for an item of Business Attribute and Business Attribute Value by its localized display name, the search will return no results.
Workaround: To find the correct object, enter the non-localized (English) name or a common sub-string of the two names. For example, to find an object in an FR localized environment with a localized name of Langue, search for Language or lang*.

When a localized Configuration Database is upgraded to 8.5 format from 7.6 and a specific language locale is applied, some of the predefined folder names might be displayed incorrectly. The inaccurate folder names do not affect functionality, and can be ignored if you do not want to implement the workaround.
Workaround: Genesys recommends that you use the English locale in the converted database.
