KNOWN ISSUES - Analyzer client sessions that have been terminated by an administrator using the Analyzer Server Console, offer no indication that the session has been ended. Users may need to use their Web browsers to refresh the instantiated applet, and reestablish a new session. 02-03-0096 - Users migrating hotspots created by placing transparent service buttons over text labels, will find it difficult to click the hotspot, as the text label has been layered above instead of below the hotspot. 02-04-0103 - OLAP Selection controls (Combo Boxes, et al) do not display descriptions on Hyperion Essbase Shared Members. 02-04-0010 - OLAP selection controls do not uniformly switch between ID and Description label modes. 02-04-0250 - Only the last of multiple data formatting definitions applied to the same member of the same report is implemented.02-05-0001 - The Design Report mode HTML object supports only conventional HTML. It does not support DHTML or JavaScript. 02-04-0116 - Users cannot drill-up on a DB2 OLAP Server Shared Member. 01-10-0168 - Users cannot ensure that Design Report components located on charts will always display as the top layer. 02-03-0090 - Personal Variable labels display on Design Report components, en lieu of their selections lists. 02-05-0017 - Due to Java limitations users cannot use the arrow keys to navigate right-click menus. 02-01-0065 - Multiple Pie Charts do not print. 01-07-0158 - Parent First functionality is not supported. 01-10-0179 Relational Database Connections - Users with existing Microsoft SQL Server Relational Database Connections or Virtual Cubes must redefine the relational database connection definitions. Users must reselect the JDBC driver type, and replace or confirm the server and database variables. When this has been done, users need only to click OK through the rest of the relational database connection wizard. Users can expedite this process by copying the database URL, user ID and password, prior to redefining the connection. 02-04-0024 - Changing relational database connection names may result in erroneous data. The best work-around is to log off after changing relational database connection names, and then to login again to refresh the repository. 01-12-0063 Analyzer API Toolkit - API Toolkit Chart Properties cannot be adjusted after being set. 01-07-0087 Installations on French Operating Systems - The installation wizard may fail to install Analyzer correctly on French operating systems when logged in as the Administrator domain user. Those installing Analyzer on French operating systems are required to log on as the local administrator (literally "Administrator") for the installation script to operate successfully. 02-04-0161 =================================================================== 5.
