10.2-MP3 Maintenance Patch Notes

September 2021

New Features

Online help includes Search Filters

The online help search feature has been enhanced to include search filters. Users can limit their search for information to a specific section of online help, as shown in the following image. By default, all files are searched. After selecting a section, further refine a search by including a key word. For example, first filter by 'Solution Enablement' and then search for 'automotive export' to find only the export topics within Automotive Solution Enablement.

Filter fix for Node List

Previously, it was not possible to clear filters or change filter criteria on the Web UI Node List if the user had just been on the Node Details screen with Details Overlay. The filters on the Node List have been fixed.

Export configuration fix

When scheduling the data exporter with a selected export configuration, the system will now use the latest version of the saved export configuration (rather than the configuration that was cached during the schedule background process creation). This means that any change applied to the export configuration can affect currently running scheduled background processes that use that export configuration.

Patch Recipe

The 10.2-MP3 baseline patch can be installed with the following recipes:

spot --apply=to:step/platform/step-10.2-mp3.spr

—OR—

spot --upgrade=step:10.2*

^*Before installing the recipe provided by the SPOT --upgrade functionality, review the baseline and component versions that the system will be upgraded to before applying. Verify that the baseline and/or components are the correct versions to be applied (i.e., the versions you did testing on—and not a higher, untested version).

For on-premises systems, refer to the SPOT Program documentation for more information, including how to use the SPOT --upgrade command to also find compatible components that can be added at the same time as the baseline patch (--upgrade=all) in the SPOT Program topic of the System Administration Guide found in Downloadable Documentation.
