EMX-2197
|
Agent registration differs between Axeda Platform and eMessage Connector. The eMessage Connector parses the "t=" attribute during registration (<Re>) tag to set the "First Registration" and "Latest Registration" properties. The Axeda Platform completely ignores the "t=" attribute and simply uses current time (System.currentTimeMillis()) to set the registration time.
RESOLUTION: The eMessage Connector registration functionality now works similar to that of the Axeda Platform. The eMessage Connector parses the t= attribute in the registration tag (<Re> to set the First Registration and Latest Registration properties. Note that the Step 5. Registration Message step of the eMessage Connector smoke test has been revised as part of the resolution of this issue.

Smoke test is not re-runnable.
This issue should not occur. To ensure that you do not encounter it, wait a few minutes between runs of the smoke test. Running the smoke test over and over within seconds may yield inconsistent results. The smoke test is not meant to be run over and over in quick succession.

Gateway Asset Link is missing
This issue affects Axeda Platform, versions 6.8.0, 6.8.1, and 6.8.2, and impacts the Axeda-ThingWorx Entity Exporter (ATEE) as follows:
• Prevents the ATEE from populating the Managed Devices INFOTABLE on Things that represent Axeda Gateway entities in ThingWorx.
• Prevents the ATEE from populating the gatewayId on Things that represent Axeda Managed Device entities in ThingWorx.

EMX-607
|
In the unlikely event of a setDataItem service call failing, the ThingWorx Platform does not receive a notification event. It would be better if the eMessage Connector could notify ThingWorx Platform of this event
|
EMX-1749

File transfers to the ThingWorx Platform instances that are running on the Windows OS are subject to the file naming restrictions of Windows, including the use of special characters such as question mark, colon, and so on. Refer to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx

EMX-1892
|
eMessage XML is incomplete and does not send specific information back to the agent in the status message. This did not appear to cause issues with the Axeda agents that were tested; it is just a difference between the Axeda Platform and the eMessage Connector.
|
EMX-1893
|
Invalid Axeda alarms result in a blank value being written to the alarm field. Axeda Platform would reject these bad values. This is a difference between Axeda and the eMessage Connector.
|
EMX-2178
|
In eMessage Connector, if a configuration value is not provided, the helper method that is used to obtain it (except getIntegerValue() and getLongValue()) throws a ConfigException
|
EMX-2193
|
Axeda Gateway agents receive too much xml when registering. Currently, a redundant SetPingServlet is returned to Gateway agents. This has no known effects on the agents.
|
EMX-2198
|
Currently, selecting the time zone, Asia/Riyadh87, causes an error in the eMessage Connector, saying that the time zone was not valid, even though it is one of the time zones in the TimezoneMapper class.
|
EMX-2232
|
When a download request is issued from the ThingWorx Platform with targetPath:<empty>, the job eventually transitions to a state of CANCELLED, and a null pointer exception is observed in the Connector log.
|
EMX-2319
|
After starting the eMessage Connector, the logs directory is in a subdirectory from the current working directory and not where one would expect, at $EMESSAGE_CONNECTOR_HOME/logs.
|
EMX-2412
|
NotifyPropertyUpdates invocations to the eMessage Connector are not handled, resulting in a WARN message being logged. The operation of the Connector is not affected.
|
EMX-2482
|
When performing a download that is relative to the agent's home directory, use only the forward slash ("/") to specify the root directory and not "./". Using "./" results in the ThingWorx Platform sending an empty value to the Connector, which triggers an error being logged in the eMessage Connector. In addition, the file transfer will not complete successfully.
|
EMX-2486
|
Certain scenarios can create a flood of Thing look-ups to the ThingWorx Platform. The most likely cause for this situation is if an eMessage Connector fails unexpectedly and is restored while experiencing many requests per second for different agents (~10+ new agent communications per second). During this scenario the eMessage Connector can cause strain on ThingWorx Platform.
|
EMX-3011 and EMX-3038
|
The Axeda Deployment Utility does not work with the eMessage Connector. When a user deploys the changes, the DU hangs.
|
EMX-3083
|
Older agents using protocols that have been deemed insecure may experience issues connecting, such as agents utilizing SSLv2Hello. This issue will be resolved in an upcoming release.

UTL-5173
|
Specifying a Download instruction with a file that is not compressed in the tar.gz format and also selecting the check box next to the option, "Agent should uncompress this file after downloading" results in the file not being downloaded correctly to the agent. Specify the uncompress option ONLY for files that are in the tar.gz format.
|
UTL-5181
|
If the File Transfer Subsystem is restarted during a file download, the platform is not able to cleanly terminate the download, causing the delivery target to be stuck in a non-terminal state until it times out.
