Affected Component

Fixed Issue/Defect

Defect Number

Classic Client

In the Classic Client, when you select a region of cells to copy and that selection scrolls off the screen, only the visible part of the selection is actually copied to the clipboard. This is corrected.

20554318

Classic Client, Charting

Editing measure values in Chart view mode by dragging chart points and toggling to the Grid view mode resulted in losing the edited values. This is fixed by using the correct chart row indices.

20577055

Classic Client, Windowing

Instead of staying at the bottom of the window, the OK and Cancel buttons were floating around the Hierarchy Rollup pop-up window when the window was resized. This is fixed by changing the Resizing property of the pop-up window.

19717620

Classic Client, Windowing

In a workbook with multiple tabs, a maximized window explicitly hidden by the user was still visible in all the tabs. This occurs due to known issues with Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC). This is fixed.

20576583

Classic Client, Windowing

When there were more than nine windows open, the More Windows menu under Windows was clicked, and a window from the list of windows displayed was selected, a window different from the one selected was displayed at times. This was caused by a known MFC problem and is fixed by implementing custom More Windows functionality.

20576733

Classic Client, Windowing

A user opened the selection list of a SingleHier measure and, instead of selecting a hierarchy position from the list, the user toggled to another program running on the computer while keeping the selection list open. When the user toggled back to RPAS Client and pressed the cancel button, an exception was being thrown. This is fixed.

20576831

Classic Client, Workbook

A newly created and saved attribute was not visible after reopening the workbook. This is fixed by converting the attribute display value to the appropriate case before writing it to XML.

19915608

Classic Client, Workbook

Building of a workbook failed when the size of the data being loaded (positions from wizard page) exceeded 2 GB. This occurred because 32-bit RPAS Classic Client can address only 2 GB of data. Setting the LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag to true in the Client allows it to handle 4 GB of data.

20157832

Configuration Manager

In the Configuration Manager, attempting to save a merged configuration without specifying the output path results in a nonsensical error message. This is corrected.

19772426

Configuration Tools

In the measure section of Configuration Tools, in the measure component tree view, when users right-clicked on a measure component and selected the menu item Rename, nothing would happen. RPAS allowed this previously; however, another change disallowed direct editing of nodes in the tree. The resolution to this issue is that now when the user selects a measure component in the tree view and selects Rename from the context menu, the measure component table is scrolled to bring that line into view with the name cell for that component having the focus and ready to edit.

17178381

Configuration Tools

In the Configuration Tools, removing a dimension attribute from the window formatting of a worksheet also removes the default (label) attribute. This is addressed.

19875581

Configuration Tools

An error prevented the use of the maximum number of selectable positions functionality within the workbook build wizard process when the configuration for the domain contained a different RPAS name from the Tools name of the restricted dimension. This error is resolved and limiting the number of selectable positions within the wizard process now works regardless of whether the configuration uses the same RPAS name and Tools name for a dimension or different ones.

20052763

Configuration Tools

Within the Rule Tool, when users initiate the Edit Expressions action, the Configuration Tools revalidate every rule group in the domain. This is unnecessary. The tools now only revalidate those rule groups that contain the modified rule.

20456206

Configuration Tools, Configuration Manager

ConfigManager and rpasConfigMgr utilities were not properly processing changes to measure order within workbook profiles. The issue is resolved and a change in the order of profile measures is now detected and processed.

19952184

Configuration Tools, Detail Popup

The detail popup did not show attributes in the same order as they were defined in the Configuration Tools. This is fixed.

20533027

Configuration Tools, Measure Report Generator

The Measure Report Generator now provides appropriate feedback to the user when the output location for the report cannot be written to due to Windows file system permissions.

19721992

Configuration Tools, Plug-ins

This behavior was observed in the Replenishment Optimization plug-in, but could potentially affect any application with a Configuration Tools plug-in. Regenerating a configuration from the plug-in caused the Configuration Tools to only save part of the generated configuration. This is fixed.

20145178

Configuration Tools, rpasInstall

The rpasInstall utility was not always returning a non-zero exit code when the process ended due to an error condition. Only some failures were resulting in a non-zero return code. The issue is resolved and rpasInstall now returns with an exit code of zero when the process exits normally and not due to an exception.

19867314

Configuration Tools, Workbooks

Creating, and then deleting, a workbook-only dimension that aggregated the root dimension of a hierarchy could leave the configuration tools User Interface (UI) in an unstable state. This often prevented any further work from being done on the workbook. This is corrected.

20455820

Configuration Tools, Workbooks

Not all of the axis and intersection fields were being updated after a user edit. This could make it look like there were validation problems, when in fact, there were none. The Configuration Tools now repaint these fields after every edit.

20455833

Domain Daemon

In several instances, it was not possible to connect to the Domain Daemon with Fusion Client. This occurred only on AIX, only for SSL level 2, and only for cipher suites 0 and 2. This was due to an incomplete update of the server code for new SSL modes. The resolution to this issue is to align the lists of supported cipher suites in the components on either side of the encrypted communication in the RPAS server. Both cipher suite options should be enabled now. However, both of these options are now deprecated, and cipher suite 3 is preferred in this case.

19518364

Domain Daemon

Starting the Domain Daemon with SSL 3 and then stopping it resulted in an odd condition. It seemed to stop, but the port was unavailable. Also, the process was still listed when using the (UNIX) ps command. This was due to how the Domain Daemon was being created. The creation method is updated to alleviate this issue.

20589713

Domain Daemon, SSL

Due to the discovery of vulnerabilities, support for several SSL protocols is discontinued. Updating to Java 7 update 75 or later is also strongly recommended.

20559980

Domain Utilities

The domain utility copyDomain was running instances of mapData sequentially, even with the maxProcesses parameter set to greater than 1. Other sub-processes invoked by copyDomain were running in parallel. With this fix, mapData is being executed in parallel as expected.

20411463

Domain Utilities, Alert Manager

The alertmgr utility -findAlerts option was not throwing an error when an invalid alert category was specified. This behavior is corrected so that if all categories passed to alertmgr are invalid, RPAS will display a message on the shell. If some (but not all) alerts are invalid, RPAS will log a message and run findAlerts -sumAlerts for the valid categories.

20218427

Domain Utilities, copyDomain

Running copyDomain with the -skipInput or -clone parameter did not create either the input or output directories in the destination domain. This might have caused problems when attempting to run batch on the cloned domain. The copyDomain utility is updated to create the input, input/processed, and output directories in the destination domain if they do not already exist.

20478597

Domain Utilities, exportMeasure

Temporary files created during exportMeasure were not deleted at the end of it. This is fixed.

19689261

Domain Utilities, loadmeasure

Internal performance testing revealed that loading large amounts of data into a domain could be unacceptably slow. Several improvements were made to parallelize the data loading process where possible. Data loading that can exploit these parallelization enhancements is now significantly faster.

20086948

Domain Utilities, mace

Mace expression was taking a long time to execute in a new domain that was built through a reclass. This occurred because, while calculating, mace was iterating through all the positions in the measure array even if all the positions were inactive. This is fixed by skipping empty arrays.

20157938

Domain Utilities, pqdMgr

The pqdMgr (position query) utility was not able to load XML files that had hierarchy names in uppercase. This is fixed.

20191364

Domain Utilities, reindexDomain

The domain utility reindexDomain was failing to consistently update arrays with the updated dimpath of the new dimregistryX.db. This was causing mace expressions to fail in local domains during the batch cycle. This is fixed so that all arrays in the domain are updated to the correct dimregistry version.

19905865

Domain Utilities, rpasInstall

The utility rpasInstall was not returning an error code when a problem occurred in the regUserDim executable. As a result, there could have been problems with a domain build related to user-defined dimensions that were not flagged. This is fixed.

20455859

Domain Utilities, syncNAValue

Using syncNAValue with the -d option and absolute path of a global domain resulted in the utility going into an infinite loop. This occurred because child processes spawned for each local domain were expecting a relative path from the global domain instead of an absolute path. This is fixed so that the child processes get the correct path for local domains.

20009924

Domain Utilities, wbbatch

When the Next Build Date was set in the future, wbbatch returned a correct message: "The auto workbook '#' was scheduled to be built in future. Not Build," but returned the exit code as 2 which was incorrect. This is fixed such that wbbatch returns an exit code of 0 if the next build date is in the future.

19812785

Fusion Client

Picklists with a value intended to represent the NA value can have apparently inconsistent results when the values are exported, workbooks recreated, and so on. The resolution to this issue is to explicitly communicate both the special value (that is, a value that is to be shown when the value of the cell is NA) and the NA value in calls to and from the Fusion Client to the RPAS Server. (Prior to this fix they were merged into a single value and sent back and forth.)

19780310

Fusion Client, ADF/Fusion UI   

ADF exceptions were seen on resizing the Save as dialog on Chrome and Internet Explorer (IE) 11. Instead of adding the Java script which is triggering the action event for the UI component's client ID, the action event is triggered programmatically.

19927458

Fusion Client, Alerts - Navigation           

Alert Manager navigation was failing if levels were changed using the right-click menu. The Alert cache is reset for the context menu case.            

20346692

Fusion Client, Bulk Fill 

When the user chose all [Calendar] and tried to fill, the fill did not happen correctly. This is fixed.          

20233026

Fusion Client, Cell Formatting

In some cases, changing the precision with which a cell value is displayed can cause errors. RPAS now detects and corrects problematic elements in the format to avoid the error.

20191210

Fusion Client, Charting

The edit popup window displayed the previous values when editing a few chart types. This is fixed in ADF 12.1.3.

17823741

Fusion Client, Charting

The position label was not displayed in chart legends and mouse hover information was displayed in the chart only when media attributes were added to make it visible. This is fixed.     

19803273

Fusion Client, Charting              

The Treemap Group Label was not localized. The treemap.group.label=Group is added in the Resource Bundle.

20076906

Fusion Client, Commit Status    

The filter controls in the Commit Status dialog opened the home page, but were not immediately visible. The user had to click >> to bring them up. This is now correctly adjusted.

20638064

Fusion Client, Dimension Popup              

Making all positions visible when the All [Product] level was visible ran into an error. The model implementation is fixed to accommodate API contract changes and handle All[*] appropriately.     

20557386

Fusion Client, Dynamic Position Maintenance

Trying to create a new position in a Dynamic Position Enabled (DPM)-enabled dimension that rolled up to a non-DPM enabled workbook-only dimension could cause an exception when the created position had a long name (greater than 20 characters). This is corrected.

19781611

Fusion Client, Dynamic Position Maintenance

The Save operation, after adding a placeholder position using Position Maintenance, was causing the previously formatted Position ID column to disappear. This issue is fixed.

20989349

Fusion Client, Exception Management       

Paste Special and Copy Special were not updating the real time alert counts (and the dirtiness of applied alert filters) correctly. An updateForRealTimeAlerts call is added for the pasteSpecial and cutSpecial operations.

19706230

Fusion Client, Exception Management       

The Position Filtering menu should not include non-RPAS worksheets. A check is added which avoids adding Module type worksheet views to the Position Filterable list.

19905321

Fusion Client, Exception Management       

The Position Filtering option, with the sub-menu Others, with no sub-menu items were displayed in an extra measure worksheet, when a workbook was created with a single extra measure. While adding an additional worksheet, a check was not made to check whether the current worksheet entry was an additional worksheet. The check is added.              

20015361

Fusion Client, Formatting           

When a formatting problem leads to an IllegalArgumentException from the RPAS bridge, the worksheet view should be identified and logged for debugging purposes.

20184573

Fusion Client, Formatting Access   

Any percentage value or any value after a decimal point was getting truncated and displayed in Fusion Client. This issue occurred in a locale other than English, in this case, Italian. Now, the application uses the decimal point regardless of locale.    

20110195

Fusion Client, Grid Revert Cells 

Revert/undo did not work on the drop down. The table in the popup facet was not resizing automatically. An ADF fix was expected, but this is fixed by making changes on the Fusion Client side.              

18266096

Fusion Client, Grid Display        

An error occurred when resizing a row/column after zooming in IE10/IE11. When resizing a row/column, the size value was fractional. The size value is now converted to integer.  

20709686

Fusion Client, Grid Display        

The last column could not be resized, and therefore, the entire content of the cells could not be seen. This is now working as expected.

20327336

Fusion Client, Grid Display        

With a special value configured for picklist measures, selecting the NA (first) option in Fusion Client saved the special value to the server instead of the NAValue. The new bridge API, getRealNAValue, is used to maintain the NAValue appropriately. Picklists are now generated correctly with the special value as SelectItem label and NAValue as the value.    

20557458

Fusion Client, Grid Edit Cells

An elapsed cell was editable when it should not have been. If Fusion Client gets alldimpos in the elapsed locks from the server, Fusion Client adds all the dim positions of the calendar as elapsed positions for that measure.           

20301137

Fusion Client, Grid Edit Cells     

A single click change was not happening with Boolean measures of the type alert measure. This is fixed.

20667274

Fusion Client, Grid Edit Cells     

Pivot table tab/enter editing ceased once the image popup was launched or the context menu was dismissed. The issue occurred due to the deprecated way of declaring context menus.  

20609178

Fusion Client, Grid Revert Cells 

In the undo list, the location list only showed content partially. The table in the popup facet was not resizing automatically. When there was a size mismatch, there was a JavaScript error from ADF. This is fixed by changing the height of the table in the inlinestyle element. 

19640970

Fusion Client, Images  

When no image repository was configured, an attempt to browse would yield an error with the dialog grayed out with no operable buttons. The code is changed so that dialog switches have only error message content and an OK button in this case.          

19685087

Fusion Client, Images

prepareMediaData.sh should use the rpasConfig.properties setting for locating valid image types. rpasConfig.properties is updated with new configurable properties.

19957985

Fusion Client, Images

The image size used by media utilities is now configurable through the rpasConfig.properties valid.image.sizes setting.

19958090

Fusion Client, Images  

The delimiter and splitter properties used to configure the naming convention by prepareMediaData.sh are now available in rpasConfig.properties.

19969663

Fusion Client, Images  

The valid.image.file.types default should reflect best practices. The rpasConfig.properties is corrected with new configurable properties.

19976592

Fusion Client, Images  

It is important that the error status be available and correct for use in the admin scripts - PREPAREMEDIADATA.SH and VALIDATEMEDIADATA.SH. Enhancements are made to the media utilities for image label handling with newly added user switches and behavior.

20095663

Fusion Client, Images

Label handling needed to be cleaned up in the PREPAREMEDIADATA.SH image utility. Enhancements are made to the media utilities for image label handling with additional user switches and behavior.

20103648

Fusion Client, Images  

The View/Manage Images dialog did not allow the selection of an attribute. This added a limitation to the use of the functionality, especially with visual planning enhancements. This is fixed by listing the media attributes available for the level or child level if Show Children is selected. The user can now choose which media attribute to use to view/manage an image.

20446805

Fusion Client, Level Splitting

The Please select a split error was seen by the user whenever the user tried to apply an already created split in one worksheet on another. This is fixed.

20233725

Fusion Client, Level Splitting

An error was displayed when OK was clicked in the New Split window after saving the split. This is fixed by removing the views-list reset on the Save Split action.   

20360449

Fusion Client, Level Splitting     

The selected views that the split applied to were not set when a user opened the Edit Split popup window. The Edit Split popup window displayed the selected views. The split on all views would be cleared when the user deselected all views and clicked OK.  

20549320

Fusion Client, Level Splitting

Dimension splitting could not be done on a date attribute. This is fixed by switching the two labels of the attribute selectOrderShuttle in the New Split window.              

20662519

Fusion Client, Messages              

When creating a custom menu workbook, if a validation failed, the user got a custom menu popup with a lengthy error message covering the full screen width. The content width of the error popup is fixed to force the error message to break into multiple lines.   

19881825

Fusion Client, Non-RPAS Content 

The rptconfgen.jar did not list entries for KPI watch lists. This is fixed by detecting and accepting two new report types related to the KPI watch list type of reports.

19928430

Fusion Client, Non-RPAS Content 

Two Purchase Order (PO) views were getting launched when opening the last autosaved workbook and launching the PO View again. Now, Fusion Client sends the formatting for autosaved workbooks. Therefore, there is no second PO view window and the PO view worksheet does not come up with the original worksheet content.

20005731

Fusion Client, Non-RPAS Content 

The PO View window was not getting saved correctly when the workbook got autosaved. Now, Fusion Client sends the formatting for autosaved workbooks. Therefore, there is no second PO view window and the PO view worksheet does not come up with the original worksheet content.

20005829

Fusion Client, Non-RPAS Content 

All levels are now displayed in the PO view search criteria box.

20007573

Fusion Client, Print Export         

When exporting a worksheet to Excel and selecting the Formatted radio button, Excel generated an error and the file could not be opened. If there is an exception format in the workbook being exported, one more style definition is added for read-only cells to fix this issue.

20196136

Fusion Client, Search and Find  

The Find feature in the measure dim popup was not working. Code is added to display the messages using the user message framework.

20796296

Fusion Client, Show/Save Images  

Null pointer exceptions occurred when using the View/Manage dialog. The code is changed to not assume that the dimension level or level view exist. Also, Dimension change resets the dependent controls.

20070596

Fusion Client, Show/Save Images

View Images functionality in Fusion Client supports a user browsing image files within the mapped repository directory. When a user clicked on a image file, a preview of the image was displayed in the right-hand panel and distorted since the aspect ratio did not match with the specified style. This issue is fixed. 

20304470

Fusion Client, Show/Save Images

Image URLs were not getting validated with a sanity check on the length. Media utilities are enhanced to perform a sanity check by user for the configured length.            

20364890

Fusion Client, Show/Save Images  

Fusion Client has a new configuration option which allows users to disable the image file types validation. Out-of-the-box, Fusion Client is installed with this validation enabled. Users can choose to disable it as needed.       

20590156

Fusion Client, Standard and Custom Wizard   

Ascending and descending sort was inconsistent when labels included special characters (hyphen, tab, space, and so on). The sort algorithm strength to changed to SECONDARY, so that special characters are not ignored.

19512224

Fusion Client, Translation          

For PO view, messages are now translated into the selected local language.    

19985395

Fusion Client, Workbook - Commit 

The commit button on the workbook is now disabled for the read-only user.    

20218577

Fusion Client, Workbook - Commit 

A read-only user was able to commit the workbook. A condition is added to check for write and commit permissions.

20136274

Fusion Client, Worksheet PQD

Lock PQD did not work if a user hid the PQD driving level. A check is added to avoid hiding the driving level for a dimension if Lock PQD is on.           

20365044

Fusion Client, Worksheet Windowing

When opening workbooks, the views were unresponsive. The negative z-index is now handled.

19783236

Fusion Client, Worksheet Windowing

The second copy of a view gave a blank pivot table when there was an invalid selection in the pivot table. This issue is fixed.

20312837

Fusion Client, Worksheet Windowing

When tiling the views, the visible views within a step were not sorted in alphabetical order (numerical sequence) or in the order of views last touched. The tiling feature is enhanced to reorder the views based on last touched/selected order.

20346233

Global Domain Aggregation

There are some cases in which RPAS is not able to compute an aggregate value, based on the presence of alternate rollups in the hierarchy that contains the partition dimension, and the aggregation type selected. This is because no generic aggregation algorithm exists for these cases. These cases are now flagged when they occur.

20256519

Publishing Measure Change Events

Due to an unrelated code change, the RPAS utility loadmeasure stopped publishing measure change events to the Publishing Measure Change (PMC) service. This prevented any PMC subscribers from being alerted that monitored measures had been changed due to a loadmeasure call. This code change is reversed.

19778766

RPAC

Several arguments to the RPAC utility (-test and -suite) were not correctly pattern matching when determining which tests and test suites to run. This is corrected.

19709494

RpasTemplates, Auto Workbook Maintenance

The Autoworkbook maintenance edit screen allowed invalid values such as -1, 0.1, or 979879879797979798846544443 for the frequency in days entry since no validation was being done for frequency value. Validation is added.

20204974

Server, Alert Manager

alertmgr -sumAlerts returned an unhelpful exception if -findAlerts was not run before it. Since findAlerts had not yet run, there were no alerts in the alert_resolved array, so alertmgr was not able to convert the NA type during the -sumAlerts run. To resolve this issue, the alerts are skipped that do not yet exist in the alert_resolved array.

20122450

Server, ODBC Driver

Users were not able to connect to RPAS using ODBC driver if the user name was specified in uppercase or in mixed case. This is fixed.

19789675

Domain Installation, Workbooks

Leaving an orphan entry in the Measures tab in a workbook template (for example, by deleting rules featuring that measure and then unrealizing the measure) was causing rpasInstall to fail. This is addressed.

20026389

Workbook Build

Workbooks with pre-range masks defined were sometimes crashing. The effect was most pronounced on AIX 7.1, but could occur on any platform. The problem was due to an invalid pointer. This is corrected.

20463619

Workbook Manager

The wbmgr utility was interpreting a supplied value as a user name for the -list argument but as a user ID (internal RPAS user identifier) for the -remove argument. This was resulting in inconsistent and confusing behavior in the utility. This is corrected to be consistent in interpreting the supplied value as a user name.

19772350

Workbooks

Under a particular combination of conditions, renaming or deleting a position could prevent the opening of a saved workbook. This only applied in a global domain, where the renamed or deleted position was in a dimension that was under the partitioning dimension, and label translation was enabled for that dimension. This is fixed.

20103645

Workbooks, Dynamic Position Maintenance

Users were able to update informal positions in a saved workbook even though the position had been formalized in a domain. This kind of update could cause corruption in hierarchy data. This action is no longer allowed.

20130887

Workbooks, Pivot Table Sorting

Attempting to sort a column of dates by clicking on the column header could cause an exception to be thrown. This happened when the date measure had a special value NULL type. This is corrected.

20404540

Workbooks, Single Hierarchy Select Measures

Changing a measure in a workbook that affected a Single Hier Select measure caused the Single Hier Select measure to change from showing labels to showing position names. The expected behavior, and how it worked in previous versions, was that the Single Hier Select would still display the label associated with that position name. This is corrected.

19988769

Affected Component

Known Issue/Defect

Defect Number

Configuration Manager

In the configuration manager, users can experience either an exception or a conflict when merging changes to rules. The conflict, when it occurs, always involves an attempt to move a rule.

19815644

Configuration Tools

Attempting to create multiple workbook tabs in the workbook tool of the Configuration Tools results in erratic behavior in the tools.

20687761

Configuration Tools, rpasInstall

When a measure is assigned a non-existent style, it is instead assigned no style during the domain build process. The correct behavior should be to preserve the style name and alert the end user.

20455881

Localization

Several of the string translations returned for Greek and Russian exceed the maximum allowed length. The translation team is working on shortening them.

20197298

Fusion Client

A Java null pointer exception occurs when a measure is dragged and dropped. Due to this defect, drag/drop is disabled on all tabs of the Dimension Popup on Wizard & Worksheet to avoid the exception. Drag/drop on the Dimension Popup will be enabled once the ADF fix is made available.

19069150

Fusion Client

CTRL+a and add/remove fails to add/remove all the items in the workbook wizard.

19443341

Fusion Client

The Find field next arrow in the wizard window unexpectedly gives no more matches found.

20802847

Fusion Client

Editing on graphs runs into an exception in some cases. This is planned to be fixed in a hot fix.

20896588, 20896663, 20896706

Fusion Client

A line chart is not rendered with Boolean and non-Boolean selection. This is planned to be fixed in a hot fix.

20901645
