Search doesn't work if authorization with multiple names is configured in v12

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

When upgrading from an earlier version to v12, if the authorization for a user utilizes comma separated items for folders, the search functionality will return no results.

Environment

Release:
Component: AAUTEN

Cause

This was caused by an internal error where the use of comma-separators caused all folder entries to become unreadable by the lucene search index.

Resolution

To work around this issue, you can modify any folder permissions to one item per line.

The issue was found and fixed with:

Automation.Engine 12.1.5 in AutomationEngine released 05-20-2019
Automation.Engine 12.2.3 in AutomationEngine pending release. 

Hotfix-Description: No search results if user authorizations use comma separated folderpaths

An issue has been solved where comma separated folderpaths in the users authorization were not considered for the lucene search. No results were shown for these folderpaths.
