6. Known issues

6.1 IPR pmm1#21044 – Missing section [MboxUtilServ] in

upowerProcessLayer.ini when appropriate

Description

A missing section in the configuration file can be corrected by adding the following section in

upowerProcessLayer.ini with the proper paths when using the Sun ONE DirectoryServer:

[MboxUtilServ]

mboxutilpath=/opt/sun/messaging/sbin

sshbin=/usr/bin/ssh

6.2 IPR pmm1#21231 – GBG configuration is not backward compatible

Description

This issue was detected during upgrade of an MMSC system from MMSC R2.3-11 to MMSCR3.0-03. After a conversion of the gbg.ini file, the A_COS and B_COS attributes are

defined as follows:

…

A_COS = "0x7047, string-uint32"

…

B_COS = "0x7067, string-uint32"

…

This configuration, however, does not work for prepaid requests. For correct behavior ofGBG, the values of the affected configuration attributes must be adjusted as follows:

…

A_COS = "0x7047"

…

B_COS = "0x7067"

…
