Stored test results can be sent to the incorrect server when client registration is changed while forwarding is in progressIf the store & forward plugin is already loaded and forwarding steps, it continues to forward to the original server connection even if the server is changed. It will not switch servers while there are current transactions on disk and still successfully forwarding them. Since simply switching the master does not invalidate the old API key, then if the server is still accessible, the forwarding plugin does not know that it should switch to the new master.
Workaround: There is currently no known workaround for this issue. |

Transport Layer Security (TLS) negotiation of SCHANNEL-based SystemLink clients with NI Web Server fails intermittentlyWhen the NI Web Server is configured with a self-signed certificate, some installations seem to have issues with SystemLink clients failing to send HTTPS requests. Clients fail with a generic Secure Socket Layer (SSL) error even though the self-signed certificate on the server is valid, and correctly installed on the client. The client's browser and HTTP clients like cpprest correctly trust NI Web Server. But any .NET-based HTTP client using SCHANNEL will exhibit this behavior. When this happens, all targets registered to the server will fail in all sorts of strange ways, resulting in strange client-side behavior product wide. We have determined that the behavior above is attributed to unusual TLS version negotiation within .NET Framework 4.6.2 itself, which configures SCHANNEL with unusual version negotiation behavior. Here is the Microsoft documentation explaining the problem: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/tls#configuring-security-via-the-windows-registry. According to this documentation, the behavior was changed in .NET Framework 4.6.3, whereas NI SystemLink uses 4.6.2.
Workaround: As per Microsoft documentation, there is a set of registry keys which force 4.6.2 version of .NET Framework to default to the OS-level TLS negotiation behavior. We have confirmted that applying the registry keys to affected targets fixes the problem. You can find the set of registry keys along with values to apply in this documentation from Microsoft - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/tls#configuring-security-via-the-windows-registry Please contact NI if you have trouble with the registry keys.

Installing "NI SystemLink TDM Analysis Add-On" can fail on Windows operating systems with non-western character setsEspecially on Windows operating systems with non-western character sets, the character length of the temp folder can be that long, such that files temporary extracted during (pip) installation can result in a full file path exceeding the max path limit of the operating system. Workaround: Change the temp path location to a folder with a shorter name, for instance C:\temp.
Or enable the Long path support for Windows as described here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6279#issuecomment-526864501 |

TDM DataFinder Optimize Database function does not reduce database footprint when run after data is deleted from MariaDBIn version of DataFinder Server Editions prior to 2014, executing the TDM DataFinder Optimize Database function would reduce the database footprint roughly proportional to the volume of records deleted from the database. This function could be used to help cleanup database after archiving old data. This does not function as expected when run after data is deleted from MariaDB Workaround: Setup multiple DataFinder instances and archive the entirety of the oldest database at a time, cycling through several instances to achieve desired volume of historical data storage. |
