What's New:

• Modified Cisco.Router.General for Device.Backup.Running Config activity to check for 'buggy' device IOS versions of the device enable prompt which may contain NULL characters between the carriage return , line feed and device hostname.
• Modified Cisco.Router.General to remove checking for "%Error opening" text in output of 'show tech' command which would cause Device.CLI.Send commands activity to fail on certain devices.
• Modified Cisco.Switch.IOS to remove checking for "%Error opening" text and "Error:" text in output of 'show tech' command which would cause Device.CLI.Send commands activity to fail on certain devices.
• Modified Juniper.Application.Accelerator adding "# Created locally at" to ignore text for Device.Backup.Running Config activity.

Fixes

• Fixed bug in Cisco.Router.General for the Device.Backup.Running Config activity, where the config would intermittently be truncated if CatTools encounters the 'prompt hostname#' config line in the command output.
• Removed testing code block from Client.Custom.Activity.Template.txt which causes script error if copied across into user custom activity script files.
• Fixed bug in Manager interface startup routine which would cause CPU to max out under certain conditions. Also resolves intermittent startup error of 'Unable to start timer. Database is not connected.'
