Activity ID | Area | Description | Workaround |

5134 | Integration | Netcool Configuration Manager bundles a subset of rules for theNetcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library (NcKL) package, which can be installed on the Object Server. The zip file containing these rules is corrupt. | An up to date version will be available from fix Central to download and use. |

4139 | Installation | Erroneous errors are generated by Install Manager during a CLI installation. The errors are related to numbering the CLI options. | No work around needed, as the errors have no impact on the installation. |
4749 | TCR Reports | An extra line is generated at the bottom of the report | none |
5139 | Integration | NcKL rules have a typo preventing the MTTrapd probe from starting after their application. | An up to date version will be available from fix Central to download and use. |
