CR#	Description
691905	Setting SCC RMI port screen is unavailable. When you choose custom installation and then select SCC RMI Agent plug-in, the screen to set the SCC RMI port is unavailable.

685036	Installer generates incorrect value in a response file. The response file created by the installer includes extra characters that may cause errors during installation. For example: #Start Sample Replication Server #------------------------------- RS_START_SAMPLE_RS=\"\",\"No\" <---- wrong value RS_START_SAMPLE_RS_1= RS_START_SAMPLE_RS_2=No RS_START_SAMPLE_RS_BOOLEAN_1=0 RS_START_SAMPLE_RS_BOOLEAN_2=1 # Workaround: Edit the response file and change the response to Yes or No as appropriate.

Workaround: Ignore the message and continue with the installation.

Installer – use the mouse to select the features in the Choose Product Features window.
619784	Cannot run installer with default tar tool. You see this error when the installer uses the GNU tar tool to extract files from the Replication Server suite archive: The included VM could not be unarchived (TAR). Please try to download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary' mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy. Workaround: Define /usr/bin/tar in $PATH.
619779	The installer fails to launch if you specify a path to setup.bin that contains “..”. Workaround: Ensure that the path to setup.bin does not contain “..”.
619771	The uninstallation program stops responding when you select Delete from the Delete User Files screen and then click Previous from the Uninstall Complete screen. Workaround: Do not return to the Delete User Files screen after you have selected Delete.
618722	Interactive installation using response file does not work. When installing Replication Server in an interactive mode using a response file, the installer does not use the values stored in the file. In silent mode, the response file works as expected. Workaround: None.
