New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This release contains no new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


Solution Control Server (SCS) no longer attempts to establish a connection with its backup SCS. Previously, after a number of switchovers caused by network outages, the primary SCS sometimes improperly tried to establish a connection to its backup SCS. This incorrect behaviour caused the primary SCS to consider the status of the backup SCS to be STOPPED because the backup SCS was (properly) rejecting all connection requests. (ER# 167459402)


Synchronization of Application status and run modes between Distributed Solution Control Servers has been improved. Previously, an SCS that switched to Primary mode did not send to other Distributed Solution Control Servers any information about changes that occurred during the switchover. As a result, the other Distributed Solution Control Servers did not have the correct status and run mode of all Applications. (ER# 194549701)


If a network outage causes both Message Servers in a high-availability (HA) pair to run in Primary mode, SCS will now always switch one of them into Backup mode after the connections are restored.

Previously, both Messages Servers continued running in Primary mode if both of the following conditions were true:

Supported Operating Systems

The operating systems supported by this release are listed in the Contents section, above.

New in This Release

This is a hot fix for this product. This release contains no new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


For applications that started in the ServiceUnavailable state, Solution Control Server now sends to Local Control Agent (LCA) the parameters of the Configuration Server currently operating in Primary Mode.

Previously, Management Layer sometimes failed in its attempt to automatically restart a terminated application that had been running in ServiceUnavailable state only, because the incorrect Configuration Server parameters were used.

(ER# 200230268)


Solution Control Server no longer terminates when processing an E-mail Alarm Reaction if the e-mail template contains one or more fields longer than 255 characters. (ER# 200255949)

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This release contains no new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications that were made between the initial 7.6 release and this release:


Distributed Solution Control Servers now correctly handle the switchover of redundant servers when one server is running in primary mode, and a redundant server starts, also in primary mode. Now, the first server stays in primary mode, and the redundant server switches over to backup mode. Previously, the first server sometimes switched over to backup mode, and the redundant server stayed in primary mode. (ER# 154825826)

Supported Operating Systems

The operating systems supported by this release are listed in the Contents section, above.

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This section describes new features that were introduced in the initial 7.6 release of Solution Control Server.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications that were made between release 7.5 or earlier releases and the initial 7.6 release:


Starting with this release, in a distributed Solution Control Server (SCS) environment, a clearance alarm reaction is now executed only by one SCS—the SCS that actually generated this alarm. If there are one or more SCSs in the distributed environment running an earlier version, the alarm clearance reaction may be executed multiple times. (ER# 104066141)


The following new log event is now generated by SCS in a distributed environment if an active alarm is cleared but the configured clearance reaction is not executed by SCS because the active alarm was generated by another distributed SCS responsible for alarm clearance reaction execution:

10514|TRACE|GCTI_SCS_EXEC_REACTION_IGNORED |Reaction '%s' ignored by this SCS

(ER# 104066141)


The ADDP connection between SCS and Message Server now works correctly. Previously, the ADDP connection to Message Server (both Log Message Server and dedicated Message Server) could only be established if the log output of type network set in the SCS configuration. Also, the ADDP connection could only be established with the one instance of Message Server regardless of the number of Message Servers configured in the SCS connections. (ER# 60310062)


When operating in a high-availability environment, the SNMP functionality is now available in SCS when simultaneous switchovers of both SCS and Configuration Server redundant pairs occur. (ER#s 149108231, 143785654)


SCS now correctly applies startup timeout settings for starting applications configured with the autostart options. Previously, SCS ignored the startup timeout settings after its initialization and applications were started immediately. (ER# 113834987)


SCS no longer becomes unstable when processing the errors occurred during alarm email transmitting. (ER# 113524336)

A solution may display a status of STARTED before all its applications have started. (ER# 62658371)
