Problem: After updating an alert's saved search, the saved search reverts after updating the alert's cron job or other settings.
Nitty Gritty: This only occurs when the saved search is modified and saved in a different browser tab, and then, the alert is updated in the original tab where the alert is modified. Confused, don't worry, I have an example below.
Example: User modifies saved search and cron job of alert in "two different browser tabs":
User opens alert-1 in App in browser tab 1
User opens search in second tab (through right-click -> open in new tab)
User updates search, runs search and then saves search under alert-1 name
User closes search tab (tab 2) or leaves both tabs open
User goes back to tab 1 to update cron job of alert (or other configuration on alert)
User saves alert settings.
User wants to verify that alert saved search is correct by opening up second tab (right-click on open in search -> new tab)
User finds that search string has reverted to original search
Make any changes to alerts in Settings -> Searches, Reports and Alerts section. In 8.0.2007.1, you can update search string in this section.
If you must make this change in the app context of AIX, update the search string and alert settings all in one tab (do not open a new tab).
If you need to open a new tab for the search: save the new search, close tab 2, refresh browser tab 1 and then update the alert settings as needed. You will see that the new search string will stick this time.
This is a bug and SPL-195342 has been submitted to correct this issue.
