[. . . ] R/3CallReceive er ror <function Z_AW_TREE_IMPORT40: Call (PER FORM) to a non-existent routine. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00641650 When using the Ignore row marker option in the flat file format, data truncation could occur. ADAPT00642513 When importing a database link created in Microsoft SQLServer 2005, the Designer did not recognize the database link as a valid link. ADAPT00642531 When a COBOL copybook contained REDEFINES sections, the data for those fields was not processed properly by Data Integrator. ADAPT00642556 When a data flow or a work flow runs in an infinite loop, the Data Integrator engine process (al_engine) leaked memory. Data Integrator also now submits a slightly different SQL statement to Microsoft SQL Server to improve performance when retrieving changed data from the SQL Server replication server distribution database. 58 BusinessObjects Data Integrator Release Notes Resolved issues 7 ADAPT00644740 When defining a custom function in the Designer, the order of the input parameters was reversed in the function. ADAPT00645348 In Auto Documentation, the Case Transform did not display correctly. ADAPT00645757 The Repository Manager failed if you upgraded a repository from a computer with a Designer-only Data Integrator installation. ADAPT00646862 For Microsoft SQLServer CDC readers, there is a new option in the source editor called Automatically delete rows after reading. This option lets you delete rows after reading them from the replication server to manage server volume. For example, if many rows collect on the replication server during a given retention period, performance could suffer. If you select this option, Data Integrator deletes only the rows that have already been read by all Data Integrator CDC readers and other named subscriptions (and also observes the retention period setting). However, if there are additional anonymous subscribers, Data Integrator is unable to identify them and could delete rows regardless of whether they have been read by those subscribers. A CDC reader subscription is not established until the first time a job with such a subscription is successfully executed. If in the CDC reader Automatically delete rows after reading option is selected, and this reader with this subscription has not been executed before in any other data flow, Data Integrator will assume that there is only one subscription and the data will be purged after reading. This behavior will stop after the job has been executed at least once. If that is not the desired behavior, try these workarounds: · Do not enable Automatically delete rows after reading for the first run of the Data Integrator job to establish all subscriptions. · If a CDC table has more than one subscription, check the Delete after reading option in one CDC source only and execute the corresponding job last. BusinessObjects Data Integrator Release Notes 59 7 Resolved issues ADAPT00647533 The function get_domain_description() did not return a value when used with PeopleSoft 8. 9 domains. ADAPT00647923 The Performance Optimization Guide incorrectly stated that if a data flow was not valid or saved, Data Integrator alerted you when you tried to view optimized SQL for the data flow. The guide has been corrected to state "If a data flow is not valid, Data Integrator alerts you. " ADAPT00648523 Fixed-width file formats were not generated correctly if the data file was located on a remote server. ADAPT00648631 When logging off from Windows where the Job Server is running, the Data Integrator jobs launched against this Job Server will now continue to run. ADAPT00652463 The following error: Unknown exception in rdr::open() occurred when reading an XML file using the Designer. ADAPT00655407 The combination of UTF8 engine code page and MAP_CDC transform no longer generates the following warning: invalid Value <> found for row operation column. [. . . ] Please check the Business Objects Knowledge Base for any updates. ADAPT00743879 Data Integrator does not correctly handle Oracle UTF8 database the NCHAR data type in a table comparison rowby-row select option if the column is used in the primary key or compared column. In such a case, Data Integrator generates an incorrect SQL SELECT statement. As a result, the table comparison result is not correct. [. . . ]
