Known Problem Report as of Dec 1 2025 4:00AM

Preface
-------------------------
This Software Status Bulletin (SSB) documents all known problems in the software
product designated above. The SSB is derived from Known Problem Reports (KPR)
which result from user problems that have been classified as documentation
problems or software defects. When a KPR is written, an identifying number is
assigned to it, and the KPR is added to the next edition of the SSB.

User inputs that have been classified as Enhancement Requests are not documented
in the SSB. User problems that have been submitted, but that have not been
classified by the time the SSB is generated are not included in the SSB.

How to use the SSB
-------------------------
When you experience a problem with a product, first check this SSB to see if the
problem has been reported already, and if there is a temporary workaround
available for the problem, or if the problem has already been fixed by a new
revision. If the problem is not listed in this SSB then you may wish to report
it to the Response Center or to your field support representative.


To determine if your problem is documented in this SSB, first look in the
Keyword Index section of the SSB. Under each keyword is a listing of one-line
descriptions of related KPRs. If any of these sound like yours, locate the KPR
# in the Known Problem Reports section of the SSB, and read the full KPR. The
KPRs in the Known Problem Reports section are sorted by KPR #.


There are two sections in the SSB:
Keyword Index: This index is categorized by keyword. For each KPR there is a
brief description and a KPR #. A KPR may be associated with more than one
keyword.


Known Problem Reports: This section contains KPRs, with all the available
information relevant to the problem. KPRs in this section are sorted by KPR #.

KPR#:1152459  Product:OpenLAB Server    CDS 2.8,ECM XT 2.8

Keyword: 

One-line Description:

Restarting services fails during Restore on systems with Sample Scheduler activated

Problem:

On systems where Sample Scheduler is activated, system services can fail to restart during the Restore of a backup, using the OpenLab Backup & Restore utility. 

The Restore progress dialog will then show a failure in the step where services are supposed to start after databases have been restored. 

Temporary Solution:

The following workaround is available if this problem occurs during a restore on a system where Sample Scheduler application is activated: 

An entitled user needs to update the name of the service "Agilent Sample Scheduler LIMS Agent" in the backup.xml, in the backup folder.

For a full backup:
in the backup folder "...\Current\backup.xml", change <string>Agilent Sample scheduler LIMS Agent</string> to <string>Agilent Sample Scheduler LIMS Agent</string>

For a scheduled backup:
in the backup folder in "...\Current\backup.xml" and in "...\Incremental\backup.xml"
change <string>Agilent Sample scheduler LIMS Agent</string> to <string>Agilent Sample Scheduler LIMS Agent</string>

Fix Information:

The issue has been resolved in OpenLab CDS 2.8 Update 03 and OpenLab Server 2.8 Update 03.


KPR#:1156147  Product:OpenLAB Server    CDS 2.8

Keyword: 

One-line Description:

No distinction made between full- and half-width characters when using Microsoft SQL Server

Problem:

Secure Storage fails to distinguish between one-byte alphanumeric characters (e.g., “1”) and two-byte Japanese characters (e.g., “1”) in folder and file names. As a result, folders named “test1” and “test1” are recognized as the same, preventing them from coexisting in the same directory. The error message displayed is: “This folder name already exists in this location.” 

When upgrading systems to v2.8 that already have files/folders in the same location that are only distinguished through the use of one-byte vs. two-byte characters, the Agilent OpenLab Database Import /Transfer Service application will fail on the Data Transformation step with an error similar to: "[ERR] Error occurred in WriteNodesToDbAsync. Error Message: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'versionedfilestore.nodes' with unique index 'UK_nodes'."

Temporary Solution:

n/a

Fix Information:

This issue has been fixed in the newly released installation media, OpenLab ECM XT with Update 4, published on SubscribeNet on January 21, 2025.


KPR#:1156705  Product:OpenLAB Server    ECM XT 2.8

Keyword: 

One-line Description:

OpenSearch Installations may fail in case Certificate Revocation List (CRL)  cannot be downloaded

Problem:

On a server which is shielded from the internet the installation of OpenLab Server may fail at the OpenSearch Configuration step.
The  Agilent_OpenLab_Server_<date>_OpenSearchPackage.log  logfile contains a message like:
System.Exception: Creation of prometheus user failed
   at Agilent.OpenLab.OpenSearch.CustomActions.CustomActions.CreatePrometheusUser(Session session) (CustomActions)
CustomAction CaCreatePrometheusUser returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

This error is caused by a time-out when attempting downloading a latest version of the Certificate Revocation List (CRL).

Temporary Solution:

As this issue potential affects software performance as well as other vendor's software installations, the setup of the  internal Certification Authority (CA) needs to be investigated.  A Certificate Revocation List Distribution Point for Your Internal Certification Authority should be considered.

To avoid the installation failure it could be considered to disable the CRL update temporarily.  The procedure is described in the Workstation Plus installation guides.

Further information can also be found in Service Note D0127628 and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/technologies/nps/network-policy-server-certificate-revocation-list-check-registry-settings.

It has been observed the enabling all options (IgnoreNoRevocationCheck, IgnoreRevocationOffline, NoRevocationCheck & NoRootRevocationCheck) allowed successful installation of OpenLab Server.

Test Services cannot load 

Problem:

When too many unresolved AICs/CIDs are configured to the same OpenLab server, Test Services cannot load. The problem is due to how Test Services loops through every AIC/CID connected to the server and this operation might take too long to complete on systems with many registered and unresolved AICs/CIDs.

This prohibits the generation of certificates for foreign domains and provides higher level of trust.

When attempting to install a new client or AIC in a different domain, the installation will fail and the following message will be found in the %ProgramData%\Agilent\LogFiles\OpenLab Certificate Service\CertServiceTool.log:
Processing finished with error #202: Malformed response from service. Possibly the requester's domain does not match the server domain. 

Temporary Solution:

n/a

Fix Information:

To support installations of OpenLab v2.8 client/server systems across trusted domains, the Agilent OpenLab Certificate Service can be configured to operate in a less restrictive mode. While this working mode is activated, no domain names are checked and the certificates created can contain different domains in the SAN list.

If required, this working mode should be activated right after installing and configuring an OpenLab Server/ECM XT server, OpenLab Shared Services server, or any server node that hosts the Agilent OpenLab Certificate Service.

On the specified server, create a new registry key as detailed below.  
•	Registry Path: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Agilent\OpenLab Platform\Certificate Service
•	DataItemName: WorkingMode
•	DataType: REG_SZ
•	DataValue: 1
The registry key can also be created by running a .reg file that contains the below lines (between the #'s):

#################################################################
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Agilent\OpenLab Platform\Certificate Service]
"WorkingMode" = "1"
#################################################################

The Agilent OpenLab Certificate Service must be restarted after adding the registry key.

This mode can be de-activated by changing the value of the mentioned registry key to 0 and restarting the Agilent OpenLab Certificate Service

If the mentioned changes should be applied to an already installed client/server system (e.g., after installation of clients or AICs in a different domain, or moving an AIC to a different domain), the related server certificates must be re-created. 

To accomplish this, on each server hosting the Agilent OpenLab Certificate Service:
•	Rename the following folder: %ProgramData%\Agilent\OpenLab Certificate Service\v1\hosts
•	Restart the Agilent OpenLab Certificate Service

After following those steps on the server(s), reboot each client and AIC outside the server's domain to request a new certificate. 

Please note that this procedure will only work on OpenLab v2.8 and does not apply to previous versions.

Keyword: User Interface

One-line Description:

Migrated systems may retain legacy SVT test references.

Problem:

Migrated systems may fail when running Test Services suite at the Software Installation Verification Test and reference SV Tests which are not listed on the updated system, but which do appear on the legacy system. It actually happens on some leftover files from "ECM PDF Filter" which is no longer present in 2.8.

Temporary Solution:

You should open Windows File Explorer and delete the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Agilent Technologies\IQTool\IQProducts\Agilent OpenLab ECM PDF Templates Filter. After that you would be able to run the report without any error

Fix Information:

This Problem will be fixed in a future Version of OpenLab.
