If a mapping algorithm is included in multiple jobs, only one job should be run at a time. If multiple jobs are run at the same time, then the mapping algorithm might contain multiple mappings to the same value or the jobs might deadlock.

  • 5.1 upgrade to 5.3: the Masking Engine would not start if a user created a secure lookup, data cleansing, or free text redaction algorithm's lookup list containing an empty string value.
  • 5.2 upgrade to 5.3: user-created secure lookup, data cleansing, or free text redaction algorithm did not output an empty string value as it had for previous releases.

DLPX-59837Due to the addition of a new operation type that did not exist earlier, it is not possible to query for Self-Service operations on 5.3.0.0+ with a delphixpy script specifying an API version before v1.10.0.Update the delphixpy script to use at least API version 1.10.0.

Provision to physical CDB with Kerberos enabled may not mount all instances.

Fixed in 6.0.0.0.

Use virtualized CDB.
DLPX-60381

Provision from CDB dSource with PDBs in inactive states will fail with Oracle error ORA-65106.

Fixed in 6.0.0.0.

Ensure all PDBs on the dSource are open read/write. Unplug any PDBs which cannot be opened.
DLPX-55863

Environment discover does not update the version string for manually added ASE instances. This can cause sync failures due to a version mismatch with staging during a sync.

Fixed in 6.0.0.0.

Manually update the version using the CLI.
DLPX-56078Environment Refresh will not update discovered JDBC strings for linked dSources.Manually add the correct JDBC string.

If a virtual PDB encounters failures during provisioning, enabling the virtual PDB later may result in a bad state where the virtual PDB cannot be deleted. Delete may error with - 'The object OracleTimeflow does not exist on the system'.

Fixed in 6.0.0.0.

Check with the Support team.
DLPX-56977Applying Oracle LiveSource Resync may fail if LiveSource is linking from an Oracle Standby database. You may see the error 'exception.oracle.snl.standby.nothing.to.backup' during the Apply Resync operation.Wait a bit until the dsource has archived another log, then try to apply resync again.
DLPX-56978Certain usernames are not available for use as they are reserved system words (e.g. "root", "postgres", "delphix").

ssh -l <user>@DOMAIN <enginename> is successful when testing this with the reported problem user 'sys' as the description indicated.  The issue is, when logging in with a username that exists in OS (/etc/passwd), it's defaulting to the OS user rather than the domain user.  Adding the @DOMAIN clarifies which login is intended, andloginfrom CLI works without issue. Tested sys@DOMAIN and webservd@SYSTEM to sanity check.

CLI adds extra backquote character to VDB template when it is entered as part of a provision payload. The VDB template name is correctly sent to the Delphix server even though the backquote is displayed when listing the payload content in the CLI.

The workaround was to use the template reference as the name:

Customer with AIX target host may see Delphix suggesting increase the NFS read-write size on the host environment using the nfso command. This suggestion is not correct. These AIX NFS options are only effective on the NFS server, not on the NFS client.

DLPX-59299

Discovery and monitoring rely on "Connected" in sqlplus output, which may not be the case if NLS_LANG is set to another language (e.g. Japanese). Downstream operations, like linking or provisioning, may then fail due to missing user privileges.

Set NLS_LANG to an English value. If "Connected" is in the sqlplus output, this should be sufficient for discovery and monitoring to work correctly.

Deploying the Delphix 5.3 OVA onto ESXi 6.5 and using the vSphere web client UI, you may see a virtual machine warning on the VM stating:

The configured guest OS (Oracle Solaris 10 (64-bit)) for this virtual machine does
not match the guest that is currently running (Oracle Solaris 11 (64-bit)). You
should specify the correct guest OS to allow for guest-specific optimizations.



The Guest OS is auto-detected by VMTools and ESXi, but the vSphere web client UI does not reflect this. The vSphere CLI can be used to confirm this:

PowerCLI C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI> Get-VMGuest -VM dlpx-5300

Customer Support can add additional memory to the Masking application through a support process.

DLPX-58461

If the startMasking CLI command is run before the appliance setup wizard, the appliance's file system configuration will be incomplete and the Masking application's internal state will be constrained to a small amount of storage space.

Customers should use the appliance's setup wizard to complete the file system configuration which will provide the Masking application with the normal amount of storage space.
