| 7732 | Mainframe - Cobol | CAST Engineering Dashboard | When analyzing Mainframe Cobol and looking at the violations returned by the Quality Rule "Avoid unchecked return code (SQLCODE) after EXEC SQL query". | A violation is expected because the code contains an EXEC SQL SELECT statement and after the END-EXEC, it is the end of the paragraph. | SCRAIP-29443 | |
| 8136 | N/A | Application Analytics Dashboard (AAD) | When looking at the EFP Quality Rule with the ID "10340". | The name used in the documentation part of the Assessment Model (loaded from SPECDocumentation.xml) is not consistent with the metric name.

| 9159 | N/A | Action Plan Optimizer (BETA) | When looking at analysis results in the CAST Action Plan Optimizer (APO). | There is a difference (when first opening the APO) between the "original" and "simulated" grades, when they should be identical. This is due to an error in the way that the Complexity Volume (% of LoC) measure is calculated when Full Application consolidation mode is in operation. | SCRAIP-29432 | |
| 9193 | SQL - PL/SQL | CMS Snapshot/Analysis | When looking at the results of an PL/SQL analysis. | There are links missing between Oracle tables and packages due to syntax error encountered on the keyword "RESULT_CACHE". | SCRAIP-29431 | |

| 9574, 9704 | JEE - Java | CMS Snapshot/Analysis | When using the CAST-MS-CLI.exe tool to generate a snapshot. | It is possible to enter seconds into the "Capture Date" parameter, which means that it is possible for older snapshots to have a capture date later than newer snapshots. | SCRAIP-27544 | |
| 9646 | RPG | CMS Snapshot/Analysis - Run Metrics Calculation | When looking at the results of an RPG analysis with regard to the Quality Rule "Avoid using NOT IN (RPG400)". | Violations that were present in previous releases of CAST AIP are now missing post upgrade. | SCRAIP-27847 | |

| 9659 | N/A | CAST Engineering Dashboard | When using the CAST Engineering Dashboard in the FRAME_PORTAL_EFP_VIEW view. | The view shows "Automated Function Points" = 0 in the upper left quadrant "Function Points Estimation" (indicating there are no changes), however clicking on the 0 drills down and shows many deleted Function Points. | SCRAIP-27631 | |
| 9788 | .NET - C# | CMS Application | When attempting to create a Custom Dependency using a Reference Pattern. | The Regular Expression used in the Reference Pattern works when tested in the CAST Management Studio, however, the expected links are not generated during the analysis. | SCRAIP-27988 | |
| 9861 | N/A | Transaction Configuration Center (TCC) | When using the CAST Transaction Configuration Center after having modified the Analysis Service schema (for example with a "KB Update" job). | The CAST Transaction Configuration Center does not indicate to users that a "compute" action is required to get the results up-to-date. | SCRAIP-28340 | |
| 9871 | Mainframe - Cobol | CAST Engineering Dashboard | When looking at the results of a Mainframe Cobol analysis where the analysis is configured with COB files delivered as source code and the CPY files delivered via a Working Folder. | A violation is reported of the Quality Rule "Avoid using ALTER - 5062", however, no source is displayed in the CAST Engineering Dashboard which shows this violation. | SCRAIP-28339 | |
| 9878 | N/A | Transaction Configuration Center (TCC) | When using the CAST Transaction Configuration Center. | Clicking the "Enhancement" node provokes an error "Error during evolution loading: Internal exception: NullPointerException". Clicking OK clears the message but the results shown are inaccurate. | SCRAIP-28311 | |

| All Technologies | Analyzing an application made of 2 (or more) technologies. E.g. C++ and PHP And source code of different technologies shares a common parent folder. E.g.: -- C:\Sources\CPP -- C:\Sources\PHP Note: For each folder in the source code path, AIP creates a "Directory" object. Directory objects have specific types, such as "C++ Directory" or "UA Directory" (PHP is analyzed with the Universal Analyzer, UA). | Following quality rules can report less violations than expected: -- .NET: Consistent File full name and directory structure (DIAG_SCOPE_ASPBEST008) -- .NET: Index pages and global.asa location in the root directory (DIAG_SCOPE_ASPBEST009) -- C++: Count of Objects likely to use structures (DIAG_CPP_ANA_USING_STR_TOTAL) In Enlighten and in Development view of CAST Engineering Dashboard (CED): Only a single Directory object is created for the parent folder. The type of the Directory object for the parent folder depends on the analysis order of the technologies. The Directory object takes the type of the first technology analyzed within the application. Expected are as many Directory objects as there are different technologies underneath the parent folder, each having the type of the respective technology. For the example given in "Situation", 3 Directory objects are created: -- A "C++ Directory" for "Sources" folder (if C++ is analyzed before PHP, otherwise it will be a "UA Directory") -- A "C++ Directory" for "CPP" folder -- A "UA Directory" for "PHP" folder Expected are: -- A "C++ Directory" for "Sources" folder -- A "UA Directory" for "Sources" folder -- A "C++ Directory" for "CPP" folder -- A "UA Directory" for "PHP" folder | SCRAIP-2858 |
