Known issues
This section describes the known issues in the 9.1.1 version of Marketing Platform.
Location of installer logs is incorrectly displayed for AIX® | RTC 7408, RTC 178861 | The location of the installer logs stdout and stderr is incorrectly displayed in the installer wizards when the home directory of user is set to /, which is the case for the root user on AIX. It is not a requirement to run the IBM® EMM installers as root. If you do run the installers as root on an AIX system, you can find the logs in the // directory. |
In a clustered environment, manual LDAP synchronization fails if the active node goes down | RTC 23676, RTC 178856 | In a clustered installation, if you synchronize LDAP users
manually, one of the nodes in the cluster connects with the LDAP
server to perform the synchronization. If the node that is
performing the synchronization goes down before the synchronization
is completed, an error occurs, and you cannot restart the manual
synchronization until the process times out. The default value for this timeout is set to 600 minutes in the Platform | Security | Login method details | LDAP synchronization | LDAP sync timeout configuration property. You can set this value to a lower number. |
IBM SPSS® Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management Edition session persists across single sign-on users | RTC 67409 | If you access IBM
SPSS Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management
Edition through
Marketing Platform
using an account enabled for single sign-on, and you close the
IBM
SPSS Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management
Edition
browser window without logging out, any other users who log in from
the same browser to IBM
SPSS Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management
Edition using single
sign-on are logged in with the first user's session. If you share a computer and browser with another EMM user where both you and the other user access IBM SPSS Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management Edition using single sign-on, you must log out of IBM SPSS Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management Edition before you close any modeling stream window. This prevents anyone else who uses the same browser to access IBM SPSS Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management Edition from using your IBM SPSS Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management Edition credentials. |
Schedule fails when non-ASCII characters are used in scheduled objects | RTC 72022, DEF 063677 | If you configure a scheduled run for a Campaign flowchart or other object that was created using non-ASCII characters (such as Chinese), the schedule fails. |
When you install the report component, the Marketing Platform installer is sometimes unable to create some required directories on the Cognos® machine | RTC 72226, RTC 95402 | The account used to run the installer should have permissions to write in the following folders under the Cognos installation.
If the installation was run with an account that does not have these permissions, after installation, you can log in to the Cognos machine with an account that does have the required permissions, and then run the |
Text in the Detail column on the Scheduled Runs page is not translated | RTC 73856 | On the Scheduled Runs page, the content in the Details column is not translated. |
When you use the browser's Back button to navigate in IBM EMM products, the UI can be distorted | RTC 75262 | You should use links within the products to navigate in IBM EMM products, rather than the browser's Back button. |
Marketing Platform upgrade from 8.5 to 9.1 completes with errors in the installation log | RTC 103371 | The upgrade from Marketing Platform version
8.5 to version 9.1.0 may complete with the following message in the
installer log.
If this error occurs after you have run the installers as described in the Marketing Platform 9.1.0 Installation Guide, perform the following step to resolve the issue. Run the following SQL statement against your Marketing Platform system table database.

If you change the time zone in an existing reoccurring scheduled task, the CRON expression is not updated | RTC 121378 | When you set up a recurring scheduled task in the IBM EMM Scheduler,
the CRON expression for that task reflects the specified time
relative to the time zone of the Marketing Platform server. If
you later change the time zone setting on the scheduled task, the
CRON expression does not adjust the time to reflect the specified
time zone relative to the time zone of the Marketing Platform server.
For example, suppose EDT is the time zone of the Marketing Platform server. If you set up a recurring task to start on some date at 11:30:00 am in the EDT time zone, the CRON expression reflects an hour/minute/second of 11:30:00 am. If you set up a recurring task to start on some date at 11:30:00 am in the GMT time zone, the CRON expression reflects an hour/minute/second of 6:30:00 am because the Marketing Platform server timezone is EDT and GMT is 5 hours earlier than EDT. Using the above example, if you modify an existing scheduled task specify a different time zone, the CRON expression defined for that task does not adjust to the new time zone. For example, if you change an existing task set up for 11:30:00 am on EDT to 11:30:00 am GMT, the task still shows a CRON expression of 11:30:00 am for hour/min/second, where it should show 6:30:00 am. You can use either of the following workarounds to resolve this issue.
|
Users can not log out from Campaign or Marketing Platform pages | RTC 121489 | When Campaign is installed with any other IBM EMM products, you can not log out from Campaign or Marketing Platform pages. The work around is to go to any product page other than Campaign or Marketing Platform pages, and log out from there. |
Users with non-ASCII characters in their user name can not log in to IBM SPSS Modeler Advantage Enterprise Marketing Management Edition using single sign-on | RTC 131626 | There is no workaround for this issue at this time. |
A javascript error may occur when you edit a scheduled task. | RTC 176909 | When you edit a scheduled task on the Schedule Definitions page, a javascript error may be displayed in a popup window when you click Save Changes. This issue occurs only when the Display a notification about every script error option is set in Internet Explorer. Your changes are saved despite this error. |
During the uninstall process, the installer does not perform data backup when the operating system uses the Japanese locale | RTC 177516 | When you choose to back up data during the uninstall process on a
Japanese operating system, the backup fails with the following error
message: The garbage characters are logged in
product_uninstall_stderr.log .
The workaround is to perform a manual backup before starting the uninstall process. |
