Problem Description

The following are the issues that may be encountered  when you use the software portal:

  1. The portal could not pop up, no response when you click the portal as in step 5.
  2. The newly updated policies cannot be found.

  3. If there is any task status issue or error return code reported, you can check it through the normal SWD troubleshooting steps.
