Resolved Issues

Activity tab is displaying the Object ID when selecting the Objects option in Oracle 12.2.0.1 monitoring in AIX machine (PRECISE-18986)

Known Issues
The Precise Focal Point needs to be restarted after an upgrade if using remote instances. This would also need starting of the SQL agents after the Focal Point restart.
When an Oracle monitoring instance is created immediately after framework installation, errors are sometimes seen in Oracle warehouse processes (Under Adminpoint > Warehouse Processes). In such cases, a restart of the Oracle Focal Point and PMDB focal point fixes the problems.
After a fresh install or upgrade, it is required to restart the Precise GUI service before using the Custom Portal.
There is an issue with injdn.dll and injdn_x64.dll on Windows Server 2008 R2 with .NET monitoring. When a .NET instance is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2, a “Bad Image” error pops up. The problem can be resolved by installing a Windows security update on the machine. The security update can be downloaded from
