Known Issues in this Release

The following are unresolved issues in this release:

• You can add or remove Symantec Endpoint Protection manager computers in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Integration Component configuration. However, after you install the IT Analytics Symantec Endpoint Protection cubes, you must uninstall all Symantec Endpoint Protection cubes from the Installed tab of the Cube Setup page. Then, install them again to re-create the underlying data source views. Only then are the changes reflected in the cubes because source mappings are made at the time that the cubes are installed.
