When you open some Sybase Control Center views from the application menu, the focus remains on the menu instead of moving to the new view.

Affected views include the heat chart, alert monitor, node monitor, schedule creation wizard, and alert subscription wizard. This happens in both Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3.5.

607229 While executing the Agent Authentication, Server Start, Server Stop and Errorlog View commands in Adaptive Server, you may experience performance degradation if there is a firewall between Sybase Control Center and the monitored Adaptive Server machines.

Communication between Sybase Control Center and a monitored Adaptive Server requires an RMI connection to be established between Sybase Control Center and the Unified Agent of the Adaptive Server. If a firewall prevents these connections from being established, performance may degrade.

Workaround: None.

Chart datatips appear in incorrect locations.

The datatips for all charts are showing up in incorrect locations. (A datatip is a tool tip that displays the data value for a particular spot on a graph or chart when you mouse over that spot.) This occurs in all component plug-ins.

Workaround: None. This is an Adobe Flex SDK issue.

The SQL Anywhere repository database fails to start on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1, 64-bit.

Pressing F5 to refresh your browser logs you out of Sybase Control Center.

Browser refresh does not refresh data inside Sybase Control Center, but refreshes the loaded application or pages in the browser—in this case, the Adobe Flash on which Sybase Control Center is built. Consequently, pressing F5 logs you out of any servers you are currently logged in to, including Sybase Control Center.

Workaround: Do not use F5 when you are logged in to Sybase Control Center.
