Cloud Management Application PRB1295564	Deprovisioning a stack that is attached to an elastic IP address does not release the IP address	Blueprint attribute DiscoverAndAttachIP looks to find a free elastic IP address in the account or creates it and attaches it to a new instance on provision/launch stack. However, for the current design, on de-provision of the stack/instance, the elastic IP is not released but only disassociated from the instance and the IP is returned back to the account for use with another instance. Since the DiscoverAndAttachIP attribute creates an elastic IP if a free IP cannot be found, an option should be added to release the IP when a stack is de-provisioned.	Create a blueprint with a virtual server on a logical datacenter. Launch the Stack on an AWS account with the parameter 'DiscoverAndAttachIP = True'. The Stack gets provisioned correctly and an elastic IP is created and assigned to the VM. Deprovision the Stack. The Stack is deprovisioned correctly, but the elastic IP is left on the AWS account.

When a CI is in a change window, if an event comes in for that CI, an alert is created for it with the maintenance flag set to true, because the CI is in the change window. At this point, the initial and last event times have valid values. Once the change is closed, the maintenance flag on the alerts is removed, causing all the glide_date_time fields on the alert to be emptied. The impact calculator runs when there are any changes to the alert. Once the maintenance flag on the alert becomes inactive, the impact calculation triggers and calls a method in the backend code which blanks out the fields.	Refer to the listed KB article for details.

However, for the current design, on de-provision of the stack/instance, the elastic IP is not released but only disassociated from the instance and the IP is returned back to the account for use with another instance. Since the DiscoverAndAttachIP attribute creates an elastic IP if a free IP cannot be found, an option should be added to release the IP when a stack is de-provisioned.	Create a blueprint with a virtual server on a logical datacenter. Launch the Stack on an AWS account with the parameter 'DiscoverAndAttachIP = True'. The Stack gets provisioned correctly and an elastic IP is created and assigned to the VM. Deprovision the Stack. The Stack is deprovisioned correctly, but the elastic IP is left on the AWS account.

When a CI is in a change window, if an event comes in for that CI, an alert is created for it with the maintenance flag set to true, because the CI is in the change window. At this point, the initial and last event times have valid values. Once the change is closed, the maintenance flag on the alerts is removed, causing all the glide_date_time fields on the alert to be emptied.

The root issue appears to be a combination of two changes: Change of Caller Access field for hr_AssignmentAPI script include from none to Caller Restriction. Reparenting of the matching_rule table (existing records are treated as the global scope). As a result, RCA errors are displayed for each different OOB and custom matching rule that are utilized for HR Case tables.	Install the Human Resources Scoped App: Core plugin. Inspect the Caller Access of hr_AssignmentAPI script include, and verify that is blank. Upgrade the instance to London. Inspect the Caller Access of hr_AssignmentAPI script include again, and see that is Caller Restriction. Note that is Read Only and cannot be modified.

Persistence PRB1253960 KB0690068	Importing a scoped app deletes/changes a task table field	If an update set is committed with a DELETE update for a field on the child table and the field on the target instance is defined on the parent table, it is dropped from the parent table.	Create a scoped application. Create a standalone scoped table with a column named 'number'. Scoped fields do not get a 'u_' prefix, so on the database/dictionary/storage alias level, the field name can match an OOB field name. Delete the standalone scoped table. Create the same table again, and extends tasks. Open the application record and publish it to an update set. The update set contains delete updates for the table and the number field. Import the update set on the target instance and preview it. The update set contains an insert and delete updates for the same table (which will be created in a task hierarchy) and a delete update for the number field. Commit the update set. Open the task.number dictionary record. The record is broken and no label is shown. Confirm there is no task.number field on lists and forms of task tables.
