Known Limitations

This section describes known limitations in the current release of TIBCO Live Datamart and TIBCO StreamBase LiveView Desktop. Each item includes a tracking number, description, and whenever possible, one or more workarounds.

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 epression in the <predicate> element of the lvconf, prefix it with the simple StreamBase expression true. For example:
true when transactionTime between now()-minutes(5) and now()
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 Default 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.
