Will My Custom Searches Still Run?

The current CA DLP release includes essential changes to the iConsole to improve accessibility and usability. However, these changes mean that some custom searches and reports may cause JavaScript errors when a user views the customization or results pages for such searches and reports.

As an alternative to fixing your custom searches and reports, we recommend that you review the standard searches and reports that ship with CA DLP. You may find that these now adequately meet your needs. The Standard Reports package contains 16 reports covering compliance, incidents and issues. It also contains six standard searches. For details about these, see the 'iConsole Standard Searches, Reports and Policies' chapter in the Deployment Guide.

If replacing a custom search or report with a standard one is not viable, you will need to modify the XML search definition files for any affected search or report to fix the JavaScript errors. Details of the required compatibility changes are in the 'Changes to Javascript for Custom Reports and Searches' chapter in the iConsole Search Definition Reference Guide.

Note: A custom search or report is one produced by Orchestria or CA for a specific customer, or one developed by the customer themselves.
