|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10045 | CMS Snapshot/Analysis - Run Metrics Calculation | When comparing the log of an Oracle Forms analysis step and the log from the Oracle Forms Metrics Assistant calculation step. | There are more syntax errors in the Oracle Forms Metrics Assistant log (which are due to simple 'Select', 'Update' or 'CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION' statements) than there are in the Oracle Forms analysis log. | SCRAIP-30735 | ||
| 10062 | Delivery Manager Tool | When using the CAST Delivery Manager Tool GUI. | Some labels and options are poorly labelled. | SCRAIP-30736 | ||

| 9797 | CMS Snapshot/Analysis | When looking at the results of a JEE analysis. | The logs show that not all .java files present in the delivered source code have been stored in the CAST Analysis Service schema, despite the fact that the files have been analyzed without error. Due to an issue saving files with the same name. | SCRAIP-30742 | ||
| 9972 | Transaction Configuration Center (TCC) | When using the CAST Transaction Configuration Center to look at a transaction in two projects: the transaction is identical in both projects (a.jsp file) and both projects have been analyzed in one Application. | When one of the projects is dropped and a new snapshot is generated, two transactions incorrectly remain in the Analysis Service schema. | SCRAIP-30738 | ||
| 9977 | CMS Snapshot/Analysis | When looking at the results of a Mainframe Cobol analysis and the source code uses a procedure parameter called JOB. | When the analyzer encounters a procedure parameter that is called "JOB" it incorrectly considers it as a JOB card.
