6.0 Known Issues

The following are known issues in the Retain 4.9.2 release.

6.1 Retain Plugin for GroupWise WebAccess Limitation

The Retain for GroupWise WebAccess Plugin doesn’t work in GroupWise version 18.3 and later.

6.2 SOLR Log File Date Mislabeled

Retain 4.9.2 introduces a separate log file for SOLR entries that is named EmbeddedSolr.YYYY-mm-dd.log, where YYYY-mm-dd represents the year, month and day that the log entries occurred.

Due to library issues, the filename mistakenly records the day before the entries occurred. In other words, if the entries occur on May 25, 2021, the file is named EmbeddedSolr.2021-05-24.log.

Micro Focus plans to fix this issue in the next release.

6.3 Possible Android Archiving Issue

Micro Focus has received unverified reports that SMS/MMS messages from new Android devices that have RCS enabled might not be archived.

If your users experience this issue, try disabling RCS and see whether the problem is resolved.

If the problem is resolved, please log a bug so that the Retain team can investigate and fix the issue.
