Table: Enhancements and resolved issues for APTARE IT Analytics

Issue Number

Description

SC-40117

APTARE IT Analytics now uses log4j v2.17.1 which resolves the security vulnerabilities reported under CVE-2021-45046, CVE-2021-45105, and CVE-2021-44832.

Note that there may be log4j 2.16.0, 2.13.3 or older jar files remaining in the aptare folder after the patch has been applied. These are not used and except for the files under the oracle directory, can safely be deleted if necessary. The Oracle database is not vulnerable to these security findings, and older jar files will be removed when the October 2021 quarterly patch is installed.

The following issues have been resolved:

  • The ServiceNow: Job Finalized (Category Grouping) alert was not functioning when the Master Server was not selected in the scope.

  • View for child table of ServiceNow integrated table called apt_v_job_ticket_details is now available in SQL Template Designer.

  • Resolves temp space issue occurring from SP monitor_pkg.isClientInScopeForBWproc caused by inclusion of APT_JOB table in dynamic query.
