Known Issues for ECDA

The general issues that apply to all ECDA products.

ECDA General Issues
CR# Description
- Admin Service user.pwd file

The Admin Service of ECDA 15.0 and later has been changed from to read and write encrypted passwords to using the user.pwd file. Earlier versions of user.pwd files are not supported with ECDA 15.0 and later result in administrator login failures.

Workaround: Reenter the administrator IDs and passwords from earlier installations to the new Admin Service.

- Service name redirection default value

The default server.cfg file does not give snrf.tbl as the default value.

Workaround: If you are using the default snrf.tbl, enter this line in the server.cfg file under the Client Interaction:ServiceRedirectionFile=snrf.tbl

- (HP Itanium only) InstallShield errors

On HP-UX Itanium, you can safely ignore these error messages, which you may see during installation:

  • When in GUI mode, the installation procedure displays gif file not found messages in the console before the GUI interface appears.
  • When you create a response file for silent installations, the installation procedure displays Illegal character ‘8’ in encoding name. These error messages have no effect on the functionality of the response file created and on a successful silent installation. Also, some of the comments inserted into the response file are not formatted correctly and can be ignored.
Workaround: None.
- (Linux only) Installation program may result to core dump

On Linux, if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable includes the ECDA lib directory path of an earlier ECDA installation, the new installation session performs a core dump.

Workaround: Unset the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable before installing.

- Uninstall function not removing all ECDA files

When you use the InstallShield, the uninstall program does not remove all the ECDA server files. Be sure to verify files and manually remove any that remain.

Note: Uninstalling ECDA leaves the SYSAM-2_0 and UAF components, along with various logs and configuration files that were not created during installation time.
