Known Issues

  • In some cases upgrade of POA to version 5.4.10 may require manual operations.

  • Installation of APS 1.0 / 1.1 applications which have configuration scripts is not possible.

    Due to the issue POA-77789 SaaS SC may treat output of a configuration script for any such application as having structured output. Since structured output is not supported for APS 1.0 / 1.1 corresponding tasks will fail.

    No workaround exists.
