Product notes

Delay when testing connection to Crystal Reports server

When testing the connection to a Crystal Reports server from the Preferences page, it might take several minutes for the connection test to complete.

Delay when selecting fields for Crystal Reports report template

When creating a new Crystal Reports report template using Detailed Process Data Source as the data source, you might experience a significant delay when selecting fields to display in the report template. On the Select Fields page of the Report template wizard, if you select all available fields using the >> button, it will take several minutes for the Fields to Display list to populate.

To avoid this delay, consider individually selecting fields that you want to display using the > button instead of selecting all the available fields at once using the >> button.

Close Report Designer before deleting Crystal Reports report template

If you delete a Crystal Reports report template from the project tree while the report template is open in the Report Designer, the deletion will not complete. Even though the report template will not appear in the project tree, the associated files will not be deleted and you will not be able to create a new report template with the same name as the deleted report template.

To avoid this situation, close the Report Designer before deleting a Crystal Reports report template.

Increase maxEdgesAndPaths to prevent maximum path exception

If you are experiencing a maximum path exception when performing analysis, increase the value of maxEdgesAndPaths in the plugin.properties file contained in eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.btools.bom.analysis.statical. For larger processes, a good starting value is 160000. Note that it might take longer perform analysis on these larger processes.

Disabling path cycle analysis can improve performance

If you are experiencing long wait times when saving or importing, it might be due to the number of path cycles in your models and the time required to validate these path cycles. To improve performance, you can disable cycle path analysis by modifying the value of isCycleDetectionEnabled to "Yes" in the plugin.properties files found in the eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.btools.mode.bpel and eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.btools.mode.fdl folders.
