Workaround
After carefully considering the severity and frequency of the issue, and the cost and risk of attempting a fix, it has been decided to not address this issue in any current or near future releases. We do not make this decision lightly, and we apologise for any inconvenience.
As the current design does not support Discovery for this type of CI, you can download and apply the attached update set AWS cloud database status in a dev instance to test if it can be an acceptable solution.
