Bug Fixes

  • Installation and Deployment

    • The use of the - character in datasource service names is now propery handled.

      In versions 7.x of tungsten, the - character, internally, was converted to an _. From v8 onwards the - character is maintained, however this led to an issue where tpm would fail during an upgrade as it was unable to correctly identify the service names.

      If you use the - in your servicenames and you are currently running v7.x, you will need to replace the - with an _ in your /etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini file and upgrade directly to v8.0.2. If you wish to maintain the - please contact COntinuent Support who will assist in the uphrade process.

      Issues: CT-2640

  • Command-line Tools

    • The tprovision command now correctly honors the mountpoint override flag when not using method rsync.

      Issues: CT-2651
