| 8484 | JEE - Java | CAST Engineering Dashboard | When looking at the results of a JEE analysis with regard to the Quality Rule "Avoid directly instantiating a Class used as a managed bean - 7964". | JSP files are correctly reported as violations, whereas the documentation for the Quality Rule does not specify that these objects are part of the scope. | SCRAIP-24808 | |
| 8500 | JEE - Java | CAST Engineering Dashboard | When looking at the results of a JEE analysis/snapshot with regard to the Quality Rule "Collection must be the same between getter and setter - 7498". | There are false violations for the Quality Rule despite the same collection being used. | SCRAIP-24833 | |

| N/A | When using a script or an extension (Transaction Calibration Kit for example) to delete datafunctions by setting cal_flags to "128" ("deleted by external script") in the dss_datafunction table. | The CAST Transaction Configuration Center will still incorrectly include those datafunctions in the list of valid ones. In addition, AFP / EFP computing will still consider them as if they were not deleted. | SCRAIP-25275 | |||
| ABAP | When looking at the the Quality Rule "Database table naming convention - prefix control - 7854". | The Quality Rule only takes into account the table prefix "YT" for SAP technologies. | SCRAIP-25278 | |||
| When using the TCC_FP_USR_TF_GROUP_RULE procedure to group transactions based on specific rule (i.e. through the Transaction Calibration Kit, or manually in a script). | This function marks ( via cal_flag 2 and 4 ) transactions as grouped. The call to this function is done after the merge*, while to have the correct results this should be done before the merge action. This leads to incoherent data: having datafunctions with the flag merged but not having the details and RET and DET positioned means also that those transactions grouped by this function, will be merged only in the next Function Point computation. | SCRAIP-25280 | ||||
| N/A | Internal porting work. | Internal porting work. | SCRAIP-25391 | |||
| JEE - Java | CMS Snapshot/Analysis - Run Analyzer | When attempting to run a JEE analysis. | The analysis takes an unusually long time and logs have not been updated for more than 24hrs. | SCRAIP-25419 |
