As a result, none of the internal Precise java processes (focal points etc.) use an Oracle JRE any more.
Expands monitoring of Sybase instances
Precise 10.1.0 includes support for monitoring of Sybase instances when using a TLS 1.2-enabled PMDB.
Includes a new Settings menu
The new UI includes a Settings menu on the Applications side.
Removes support for some technologies
Precise 10.1.0 no longer supports monitoring the following technologies:
- Siebel
- MQ Series
- Citrix
Resolved Issues
...
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.
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 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3033929.aspx
Some of the binaries from the Precise 10.0.0 installer show up as a threat under AVG antivirus. This is a false positive with AVG and does not cause any problems. It might have to be whitelisted when using AVG as antivirus.
There are several known issues and limitations in the new Precise GUI which have been documented in Precise new user interface.
