This section describes known limitations in the current release of TIBCO® Live Datamart and TIBCO LiveView™ Desktop. Each item includes a tracking number, description, and whenever possible, one or more workarounds.
| LVWB‑1273 | LiveView Web sample in LiveView Web 1.3.1 and lower is NOT compatible with Live Datamart 2.2.2. | |
| Description | If using StreamBase 7.7.2 and Live Datamart 2.2.2 with LiveView Web 1.3.1 or lower, the shipped LiveView Web sample might fail to run. | |
| Workaround | Please update LiveView Web to 1.3.2 or later. | |
| CQS‑3855 | Remote data source tables with sole primary key "CQSInternalID" cannot be opened. | |
| Description | When querying a remote data source's tables, all LiveView clients fail to open any remote table that uses a single primary
key named CQSInternalID.
This issue affects all LiveView clients, including TIBCO LiveView Desktop, TIBCO LiveView Web, the lv-client command line utility, and any custom client written using LiveView Client APIs. The issue occurs when querying any remote data source, including: TIBCO StreamBase Query Tables, other LiveView servers, JDBC databases, TIBCO ActiveSpaces tables, and custom table providers. |
|
| Workaround | You can use one of the following suggestions to enumerate the remote tables that you must avoid. 1. If your client can sort
its list of available remote tables, sort it by the Indexes column to isolate the tables that have only CQSInternalID as their
primary key. 2. Use the following query to determine the remote tables to avoid opening: select * from LVTables where Indices=='CQSInternalID' |
|
| CQS‑3562 | Live Datamart Server 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2 uses JVM default garbage collector. | |
| Description | In releases 2.1.0, 2.1.1, and 2.1.2, no Java garbage collection options were explicitly specified, which meant that Live Datamart Server used the default collector for the JDK in use. For the default JDK 8, this is the throughput collector. | |
| Workaround | Starting with release 2.1.3, the default collector is explicitly specified as the G1 collector. See Java Garbage Collection Settings for a workaround for earlier 2.1.x releases. | |
| CQS‑3383 | LiveView Desktop can return results into one column instead of several. | |
| Description | Under some circumstances, if a query starts, then ends very quickly in an error condition (such as reaching a row limit almost immediately), LiveView Desktop might display the results using a single, unlabeled column, with every data row showing field values separated by commas, rather than displaying them in individual columns. | |
| Workaround | Investigate the cause of the error condition and correct it, if possible, perhaps by increasing the row limit value. | |
| CQS‑3355 | LiveView Desktop — Newly added table columns do not appear by default in query grid views. | |
| Description | When LiveView Desktop has previously been used to query a Data Table, new columns added to the Data Table after the initial query was performed may not appear automatically in subsequent queries. | |
| Workaround | There are two workarounds for this issue. The first is to close all open Query Results views and delete the existing queries from your LiveView Tables view. Locate the Delete Recent Queries function in the context menu of the Recent Queries menu item nested under the desired data table in the Tables view. An alternative workaround is to use the context menu of the existing Query Results view and select Columns. Any newly added columns should be present in the Available list in the Column Chooser dialog and can be added to the Chosen column list. | |
| CQS‑3287 | LiveView with multiple count_distinct() expressions in one projection can return invalid results. | |
| Description | If a Data Table has any case insensitive fields, and a query has a projection with more than one count_distinct() function with identical parameters, the resulting count_distinct values are likely to be incorrect. | |
| Workaround | None. It is expected to be very unusual that a projection would have more then one count_distinct() function with identical parameters. | |
| CQS‑2843 | Standalone Help Viewer and sbhelp not provided. | |
| Description | Starting with LiveView 2.0.0, the standalone Help Viewer on Windows, and the sbhelp utility on OS X and Linux, no longer function. The move to Eclipse 4.4 as a base for StreamBase Studio caused complications that were solved for Studio, but not for the Help Viewer. | |
| Workaround | Use the Eclipse Help provided as part of StreamBase Studio, or the website version of the documentation, as described in Using the Help System | |
| CQS‑2820 | Time-windowed predicates not working as expected in author-time aggregation. | |
| Description | In author-time aggregation, where you enter a query in an aggregation data table's lvconf definition, the predicate must always
start with a simple StreamBase expression that results in a Boolean type. You cannot start with a time-windowed predicate
expression such as when transactionTime between now()-minutes(5) and now().
|
|
| Workaround | If you only want a time-windowed expression in the <predicate> element of the lvconf, prefix it with the simple StreamBase
expression true. For example: |
|
| CQS‑2659 | Cannot create destination directory error in LiveView Desktop connection dialog.
|
|
| Description | Start LiveView Desktop. In the initial Connect to LiveView dialog, after selecting a valid LiveView Server's URL, the connection
fails with the message Cannot create destination directory.
|
|
| Workaround | The message refers to the local directory used to contain workspaces for LiveView Desktop. Click to open the Advanced Options control, and make sure the Store workspaces in field is not blank. If it is, enter your desired path, or click the button. Then try the connection again. | |
| CQS‑2632 | Display errors in LiveView Desktop charts. | |
| Description | LiveView Desktop charts can show off-by-one-hour errors in locales that observe daylight savings time, and can display some nulls as "n/a". | |
| Workaround | None. These issues are expected to be corrected in an upcoming release of the DataWatch libraries used by LiveView Desktop. | |
| CQS‑2453 | LiveView 1.6.0 clients do not correctly receive delete messages from LiveView 1.6.1 servers. | |
| Description | Queries issued by LiveView 1.6.0 clients do not correctly receive delete messages from LiveView 1.6.1 servers. | |
| Workaround | Do not use use 1.6.0 clients with 1.6.1 servers. | |
| CQS‑2395 | In LiveView Desktop heat maps, breakdown bar failures. | |
| Description | In LiveView releases before 1.6.1, clicking the breakdown bar in a LiveView Desktop heat map should reset a drill down back to its starting point, but has no result. Starting with release 1.6.1, the same action converts the chart to a single large node; you must reset the chart to restore it (click pause then play, or reconfigure the dialog that defines the heat map). | |
| Workaround | None. | |
| CQS‑2234 | Transform applications must be at the project's root folder. | |
| Description | The transform application tag in a table's lvconf file does not allow the subfolder attribute nor can it read a file path in the filename attribute. | |
| Workaround | When configuring transform applications for use with LiveView data tables, place the sbapp file in the project's root directory. | |
| CQS‑1692 | Referencing a JDBC table that has not been properly loaded prevents LiveView Server from starting. | |
| Description | JDBC tables are not automatically started as part of a LiveView Server project start. This means that if you configure a project with a JDBC table, you must load the database before starting LiveView Server. | |
| Workaround | Start the JDBC database before starting LiveView Server. | |
