12834
Problem: Deleting a pattern package can slow down the system significantly for a long time after the deletion has apparently finished. Resolution: To make the user more aware of the issue, a warning message is displayed in the UI next to the delete control.
12812
Problem: Custom taxonomy extensions that update the field order using BEFORE or AFTER were broken in 8.1.0. This can cause the upgrade to fail. Resolution: Code fix, these directives now work again.
12776

11373
Problem: In previous versions it was possible for NetworkInterface nodes to have non-unique keys. This is no longer the case. On upgrade, existing nodes are updated to have unique keys. Where an exporter is configured to use the NetworkInterface node key, export errors may occur due to the differing keys. Resolution: Existing mapping sets must be checked for use of the key field of the NetworkInterface node, and corrective action taken if required. The action will be dependent on how the export destination consumes the data; changes are not required on behalf of BMC Atrium Discovery.
12183
Problem: The default timeout for discovery credentials may be too short for discovery of ESX servers. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12326
Problem: The heading on a DiscoveryAccess page shows the discovery start time. However, the start time field shows the start time as the local time. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12419
Problem: The result set returned when searching for Location nodes using Parent Location -> Search was limited to 20 and unordered, making it difficult to use when there are many locations. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12447
Problem: Consolidated software instances do not age out of the model. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12455
Problem: Some reports erroneously use the deprecated "processor" attribute. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12466
Problem: Occasionally slave installations fail, or services fail to start, with "Side by Side" errors. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12480
Problem: The discovery script for Tru64 incorrectly used setld -l rather than setld -i. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12482
Problem: Packages on Tru64 with a blank value for "state" caused discovery errors. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12492
Problem: The CSV export of large data sets through the UI is unreliable. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12497
Problem: When you edit a scan with multiple IP addresses the report show erroneous information. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12541
Problem: When editing an existing scheduled weekly or monthly run, the day button is not highlighted. The highlighting can be restored by changing the frequency setting to something different, then back to the original value. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12580
Problem: If we fail to retrieve a serial number from a Windows machine, a critical error/traceback is produced. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12598
Problem: It was not previously possible to detect whether an ssh key or a password were used to establish a session. Resolution: Fixed by adding an attribute to the DeviceInfo node called authentication_method that is set to either "password" or "key" when we log in. For non-login access (e.g. slave or SNMP) this is not set.
12603
Problem: The Datastore Softlimit link on the Appliance Baseline page linked to the Miscellaneous Settings page. This should have linked to the model maintenance page. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
12682
Problem: The Authorised Prompt did not work on telnet. Resolution: Code fix, this no longer occurs.
