Known issues

Incompatibilities between v1 and v2

After migration from v1 to v2, legacy v1 configurations are incompatible and must be recreated manually. Additionally, the runRest procedure uses the parameter config instead of connection_config. Calls that use the connection_config parameter must be updated manually.
Multiple instances of runRest after upgrading to v2

The ec_setup.pl script used in v1 always adds its step picker independently of the context and never removes it. Since the v1 step picker is not removed, the step picker will have two runRest instances after upgrading.

To prevent the duplicate step pickers, after upgrade:
1. Uninstall the legacy v1 EC-Rest plugin.
2. Delete the property /server/ec_customEditors/pickerStep/Rest - Run Rest.
3. Clear your browser’s cache.
