                 This patch includes fix for following issues in

                 1. WCC ECLI flips * in autosys_secure command to %
                 
                 In WCC ECLI, Users can change their password using
                 autosys_secure command (if they know the existing 
                 Password). However, because WCC interchanges *
                 with
                 %. So, Users were not able to use * as part of
                 their passwords as WCC was interchanging * in
                 their
                 passwords with %

                 close alerts on right click and CLOSE.

                 doing above mentioned operation the options for
                 closing or acknowledging the alerts grayed out.

                 "These demos use ECMAScript 6 features that your
                 browser does not support. Please switch to a
                 browser with support for ECMAScript 6 (Chrome,
                 Firefox,
                 Edge, Safari 10) or use the included deployment
                 tool to convert the demos to ECMAScript 5. The
                 converted demos are also available online. 
                 Note that ECMAScript 6 is a requirement of the
                 demos, only. The  yFiles for HTML library itself
                 is compatible with ECMAScript 5"
