Known issues
| Issue number | Description |
|---|---|
| PX-10999 |
Streaming promotion preview might fail if you select All time for the time range. To preview all available data, select a custom time range and set the start date to a date after January 1, 1970. |
| SCP-85401 |
Users who are granted Query and view access to a analytics table created by static promotion might be unable to search that dataset. The search can fail with an error that the dataset cannot be found or that the user is not authorized to access it, even when the dataset is visible in the Catalog. Until this issue is resolved, use an administrator account to search the promoted dataset. |
