Known Issues
Applications
- Application Server
- Since TigerGraph supports HA for the application server in v3.1, GraphStudio and Admin Portal data storage has to be updated. The HA enhancement caused a known compatibility issue during solution import process from GraphStudio: a solution that is created from "Export Current Solution" from a version released prior to v3.1 cannot be imported into v3.1. A solution exported from v3.1 will work with v3.1 and can be imported through "Import An Existing Solution". Contact [email protected] for a detailed workaround if you want to import a solution tarball prior to TG3.1.

GSQL
- Multiple (Conjunctive) Path Patterns:
- There are no known functional problems, but the performance has not be optimized. Your feedback would be appreciated.
- DML type check error in V2 Syntax:
- GSQL will report a wrong type check error for Query block with multiple POST-ACCUM clauses and Delete/Update attribute operation.
- Turn on GSQL HA manually when upgrade to 3.1
- Users who are upgrading from 3.0.X need to manually start GSQL HA service. Please reach out to support for help with the process documented in: https://tigergraph.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/5000865072​
