IBM Platform Symphony 7.1 Interim Fix #419908 Readme File

Abstract
Providing a non-existing host name on the host list page shows an error message. Then, switching to the host icon page, shows an exception string instead of a message.

 

Description
Currently, in the Platform management console, when you access Resources > Hosts > Allocated Hosts > Host (List View) to view a list of hosts, provide a non-existing host name, and click Find, an error correctly displays. When you switch to the Hosts (Icon View) page, the console throws an exception string, without a usable error message.


After applying this fix, after you switch to the Hosts (Icon View) page, it will show an informative error message.

This fix applies only to the following platform:
Linux-x86_64
