Resolution

This issue is resolved by upgrading to 10.7.5

If you are not able to update to 10.7.5 and are running 10.7.4

This issue is resolved by applying patch 10.7.4-285 as follows:

1. Log into the admin command line via ssh or putty
2. Run the patch list command to confirm that patch 10.7.4-285 is accessible
   

   smg [10.7.4-13]> patch list
   ...
   sms-appliance-patch.x86_64            10.7.4-285             symrepo_smg_patches​

3. Install patch 10.7.4-285 by running the patch -p 10.7.4-285 install command
   

   smg [10.7.4-13]> patch -p 10.7.4-285 install​

Workaround

If the patch cannot be immediately installed, a workaround is to change the System Locale from Espanol to English.

In the control center, go to (Administration > Control Center > Locale) and change the System Locale from Espanol to English.

This issue will be fixed in a later release. This document will be updated when the fix is available.
