Known Issues and Recommendations

This section provides the latest information on known issues and recommendations associated with this product.


If you use a tool other than Windows certificate services to generate the TLS security certificate and then import the certificate to Windows manually, the CERT_TRUST_REVOCATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN validation error will occur and the TLS connection to the Genesys server will fail.

Workaround: Set the client-auth option to 0 (zero) in the security section at the host, application, or port level (the same level at which your certificate security is configured) to disable server authentication in the Message Server TLS socket. Refer to the Framework 8.1 Configuration Options Reference Manual for a full description of this option and how to use it.

(MFWK-14166, ER# 324547671)

Found In: 8.1.300.11 Fixed In: 

If both servers of an HA pair are located on a single host, and if you configure Client-side Port settings (the port and backup-port options) for the connection to Message Server from the primary server, these options are automatically propagated to the corresponding backup server. As a result, after switchover, the backup server cannot connect to Message Server. In the case of Configuration Server or Solution Control Server, the connection is established, but only after 5 to 10 minutes.

Workaround: Locate the backup server on a different host than the primary server, or manually change the Client-side Port settings for the backup server.

Found In: 8.1.000.04 Fixed In: 8.1.300.11

Log messages might be lost if Log DB Server loses its connection to the Log Database while the connection between Log DB Server and Message Server stays established. (MFWK-9580, ER# 69049816)
