Issue keySummary
GRD-132587

If you use a public simple storage service (S3) with Guardium long term retention, you will experience a timeout when running the store cold_storage catalog_protocol rest command to distribute the datalake-catalog certificate during the upgrade process from Data lake patch 12.0p80111 to Data lake patch 12.0p90230. 

A fix is available in Guardium Data Protection patch 12.0p234 (see release notes).
