Known bugs and limitations

Certain option of ADP tasks, such as Per Import Batch time option may not be correctly saved with Discovery v4.0.3 and earlier versions. It is recommended for users to create a fresh ADP task if unexpected behaviors are observed . SR 68616: Report cannot be generated completely if the template was last saved in Report Template Builder: The third-party component used by TD is not fully compatible with xlsx files. Therefore, it is recommended that the user save a report template with MS Excel.

Attempt of resizing Discovery window during the import of GIS data may cause the application to pause the GIS data import. RAN Tuning Reports may show blank fields if the IEs defined in the reports are not available from data sources. GPS positions may not be available for some old log files collected with TEMS Investigation 6.x and earlier.
