Patch level detected:Univiewer Console 6.1.00

Description :A new installation of Dollar Universe 6 blocks at the ports definition.

Cause

Cause type:
Defect
Root Cause: Since DUAS 6.1.41 a new check has been added to the installation procedure. The TCP baseport that is specified during the installation procedure are cross-checked with all ports that are presently listed in /etc/services or in C:\Windows\system32\driverse\etc\services. If the specified Port is found there, the installation procedure returns a blocking prompt and asks the user to use another baseport, otherwise the installation procedure will not continue.

Environment

OS: All

Resolution

Now when the port is actually declared in services but not used, the Dollar Universe Installation will no longer be blocked.

Fix Status: Released

Fix Version(s):
Component: Application.Server
Version: Dollar.Universe 6.2.41
