| Due to an issue with C++ Redistributable installation, Sandbox API gateway configuration fails with the following error: ERROR WatchdogProcessManager - Process '"C:\Program Files (x86)\QualiSystems\CloudShell\SandboxApiGateway\win64\bin\httpd.exe"' has exited with code -1073741515. | Manually install the redistributable, from this folder: CloudShell 2022.2 GA [2022.2.0.1470]\Data\Prereq\visual c++ runtime 17.0\vcredist_x86\VC_redist.x86.exe | 2022.2 | 9906 |
| For sandboxes that were extended beyond the limits of the user/blueprint, for example by the admin. There will be some known issues: - The properties page will show the time limited to what the user itself can actually reserve. - End-users trying to update any of the sandbox properties may shorten the time of the sandbox to the end-user's maximum allowed duration. This will happen if the user made the update before their allowed duration was surpassed. However, if the sandbox has been running for longer than the user's allowed duration, the sandbox duration will not be changed. Note: In previous versions, a user would fail to save the sandbox properties changes with a ‘historic date’ error message. | 2022.1 | 51227 (support ticket) | |
