Exception: sp_cursoropen: Specified concurrency control option 4
IZ06110- BOUNCING TBSM IS CHANGING THE ORDER OF SOME TEMPLATES
When a Service entry has more than one Template, during the active session, the last Template added to the service becomes the Primary Template. The last added Template continues to be the Primary Template even after a logoff and logon. However, after a re-start of TBSM, the first saved Template now becomes the Primary Template.

When selecting a view in service string, the service string in window sits in loading state and the view does not come up. On the java console, there are alot of null pointer exception errors.
