UC 1.0 profiles stop working after upgrading to 12.0p5008 or 12.0p230

Content

A disruption in activity collection through UC 1.0 can occur after upgrading to GPU P230 or patch P5008. This issue was introduced when additional fields were added to the UC profile template to support an upgraded Logstash version. 

As a result, existing UC 1.0 profiles that were active prior to the upgrade may become unusable.  Affected profiles cannot be installed, reinstalled or uninstalled, leading to a loss of activity monitoring through those connectors. 

Remediation

A permanent fix is planned for inclusion in the following releases:

• Appliance Bundle 12.1 Q3 
• GPU 12.2.4 (targeted for end of September)
• Guardium 12.2.3 September Fix Pack (targeted for end of September)

Recommendation: Customers actively using UC 1.0 should postpone upgrading to GPU P230 or patch 12.0p5008 until a fixed release becomes available. 

Workaround

If the upgrade has already been applied and UC 1.0 profiles are affected, functionality can be restored using the following procedure using the following procedure:

1. Open each affected UC 1.0 profile in the configuration UI
2. Edit the profile (no need any change to trigger a re-save)
3. Save the profile
4. Restart the Universal Connector (UC)

This process must be repeated for each UC 1.0 profile that existed prior to the upgrade.
