6 Known issues
The following known issues exist in this release.
Any Knowledgebase articles describing workarounds can be found by searching for the article
number (starting with “KB”) at https://support.opentext.com.
WCM-12010 Emulator: Relative sizing of Emulator devices is wrong and does not meet correct

WCM-15966 When a patch is rolled back, the versions in the IR database need to be adjusted to
reflect the version that the components are being rolled back to. If a patch is re-
installed, it may fail since the installer will think they are already installed. In that
case, the versions in the database will have to be corrected.

vision/v2.0, without which RMA service returns 404 and errors are logged in RMA

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
TEMP_BACKUP_DIR=<existing dir>
WCM-53856 Cloud only: Cannot publish (PLC) on google GKE with 21.4.0.0
Background: App server and store server pods share files via the persistent
volume (PV) iwshared served by NFS. With the typical standard NFS mount
options, there is some latency between writing and reading these files, especially if
the pods are scheduled on different Kubernetes nodes. This latency may
cause publications to fail.
Workaround: Set mount options sync and tcp for shared NFS persistent volumes.
This can be done at any time after TeamSite cloud deployment has started once
rsp. the persistent volumes have been provisioned.
OpenText TeamSite CE 21.4.2, OpenText LiveSite CE 21.4.2, and OpenText OpenDeploy CE 21.4.2 Release Notes 21
Issue number Issue description
To set the mount options sync and tcp:
• Get the ID of the persistent volume resource from the iwshared persistent
volume claim in the authoring namespace:
kubectl get pvc -n authoring iwshared
The ID displays in the VOLUME column.
• Open the persistent volume resource for editing:
kubectl edit pv <persistent volume ID>
• In the editor, search for mountOptions property.
If not found, create the mountOptions property as shown in the next step.
• In the editor, add the mount options tcp and sync as follows, if they are not
already in the list. Do not change any other mount option now:
spec:
...
mountOptions:
- tcp
- sync
...
As ever for yaml, pay attention on the indentation.
• Restart app-server and store-server pods
kubectl delete pod -n authoring store-server-0
kubectl delete pod -n authoring app-server-0
And, if you activated failover:
kubectl delete pod -n authoring app-server-1
WCM-58174 20.4.0.4 -> 21.4.1 Upgrade: Custom Reports are not accessible on running ssl
upgrade scripts.
Workaround: Update the PROXY_BASEURL parameter's value in
\ApplicationContainer\standalone\deployments\otjc.war\WEB-INF\web.xml as follow
<context-param>
<param-name>PROXY_BASEURL</param-name>
<param-value>https://authoring:443/otjc/</param-value>
</context-param>
WCM-58704 HybridApps – Unable to download created APK/IOS files from estudio on windows

OpenText TeamSite CE 21.4.2, OpenText LiveSite CE 21.4.2, and OpenText OpenDeploy CE 21.4.2 Release Notes 22
Issue number Issue description
7 Appendices
7.1 OpenJDK support
• OpenText TeamSite no longer distributes a JDK with new releases, maintenance releases or
patch-sets. You can only upgrade TeamSite/LiveSite/OpenDeploy (TS/LS/OD) or apply a patch-
set. If the newer version of TS/LS/OD requires a Java upgrade, you will need to independently
obtain the appropriate JDK against which that version of TS/LS/OD is certified (see table below).
OpenText will provide scripts that you can run to upgrade Java to the appropriate version.
Note: You can upgrade Java independently at any time only if you are
using a version of Java that is supported by your installed version of
TS/LS/OD.
• To provide maximum stability for our customers, we only certify and support JDK releases that
have been designated as a Long Term Supported (LTS) release. LTS releases are designated
every 3 years.
• We only certify with OpenJDK builds (pre-built or built from source if builds are not available) from
AdoptOpenJDK.net, and Oracle JDK from Oracle.
• Given OpenJDK is open source, anyone (individuals, customer organizations, or vendors) can
make changes to the OpenJDK, and those changes can impact our product functionality or
performance. Therefore, with each release OpenText TeamSite certifies and supports a specific
version and build of OpenJDK from AdoptOpenJDK.net and Oracle JDK from Oracle. You are free
to run the same OpenJDK version using a build from any of the other vendors (or even built by
yourself). However, any problems encountered and reported to OpenText must be reproducible
with one of the documented certified builds (from AdoptOpenJDK.net or Oracle) for that product
version.
• LiveSite (LSCS/LSDS) is certified with the JDK that comes with supported application servers.
For example, IBM WebSphere and Oracle WebLogic both ship and support a JDK to be used with
their respective application servers. If no JDK is delivered with the application servers (as in the
case of Tomcat) you must use the JDK from Oracle or AdoptOpenJDK.net.
