Installation Issues
Known Issues

- This BusinessObjects release works with Microsoft SQL server
OLAP Services 7.0.


OLAP Panel
Related Issues
- To have values in the OLAP Panel Grid, you must have at
least one member per edge. To generate a BusinessObjects Report, you must have at least
one member in an edge and one measure in the opposite edge.
- Dragging and dropping a level into the Filters Box takes a
long time if there are a lot of members at this level.
- An empty OLAP Panel could be displayed if
you try to load a cube without access rights.
- You may be able to see a cube in the Wizard,
without access rights; however, you will be unable to connect to it.
Data Provider
- The '#OlapAll' reserved value used by BusinessObjects to
designate the aggregated value returned from the server does not appear in a report, even
though it is available in the Filters dialog box (Filters command, Format menu). However,
'#OlapAll' does appear when you export data to other file formats, for example, to Excel.
Report
- By default, BusinessObjects sums up identical values in the
report. For example if you select only Q1 in 1996 and Q1 in 1997 and generate a report,
only one Q1 will be displayed and its value will be the sum of Q1 for 1996 and Q1 for
1997.
- If you define an alerter on the time dimension with a
condition such as greater than 'Jun,' then the highlighted months are selected on the
first alphabetical sort letter. That means Mar, May, Nov, Oct, Sep will be selected.
- In a report, if you want to change the query, reload the
OLAP Panel. To be sure to generate a correct report, select the "Display the new data
in a new report" option in the Modified Data Provider dialog box.
- Ranking applied on ServerValue( ) returns erroneous values.
- Some cells might contain #SYNTAX after you edited a Data
Provider.
- Applying a filter on the ServerValue in the Slice and Dice
Panel might not work. To work around this issue, apply the filter via the filter button in
the Reporter toolbar.
- Sometimes BusinessObjects may not respond if you try to
generate a report with a time dimension on which you have selected "apply sort
defined on the server" or "turn to a single report dimension" options.
- Date measures are translated into numbers in the
BusinessObjects report.
- #error values are translated into #empty values in the
BusinessObjects report.
Custom-Sorted
Dimensions
- An application crash might occur in a multiple data provider
report if you link the different data providers with a custom sorted dimension (such as
the dimension 'Year')
