Version 5.0 - 04/08/2013 - Known Issues


* = Hotfix available


Jedox OLAP Server

  • Markers are not refreshed when dimension that is used in Marker is changed (#13752)
  • If an SVS script both reads and sets a consolidated OLAP value, the previous value is still cached and returned (#16377) *
    • Workaround: disable OLAP server cache
  • If a value is written to a cube which previously served as source in a Marker rule on another, now deleted, cube, OLAP Server may become unstable. (#16349) *
    • Workaround: restart OLAP Server after deletion of cube with Marker rule
  • In parallel hierarchies, in some cases the most restrictive parent right (given that multiple parents exist) is applied to a base element instead of the least restrictive (#16522) *

 

 

Jedox for Excel & Jedox Office Addin

  • Excel crashes if PALO.EALIAS, PALO.ECOUNT or PALO.EFIRST functions are set without any arguments being specified (#15991)
  • Office Addin: Data retrieval in Powerpoint / Word doesn't work properly if source XLSX range uses PALO.DATAC formulas (#14875)
    • Workaround: Use PALO.DATA formulas for these ranges
  • The Success Charts module does not support UTF-8 characters. (#16010)
  • In "Chose Element" / "Choose elements" dialogues, when using a dimension with parallel hierarchies, soemtimes the wrong element is preselected (#16024)

 

 

Jedox Web

  • Copy/fill does not trigger scrolling (#3250)
  • Widgets pointing directly to Flash animations cannot be edited after creation (#9804)
  • Including Jedox Web in third party site via IFrame does not work on IE (#12342)
  • The Success Charts module does not support UTF-8 characters. (#16010)
  • Microcharts aren't visible in PDF exports when viewed in Firefox PDF viewer extension (#16007)
  • Hyperlinks on images are lost during XLSX import to Jedox Web (#16053)
  • The cell lock state for a Conditional Format is sometimes reverted to default state when editting the Conditional Formatting rule (#16064) *
    • Workaround: edit the CF rule again, explicitly setting the desired lock state
  • When exporting a workbook with an ODBC-based Dynarange as XLSX snapshot, the master column of the DynaRange doesn't show data in the XLSX file (#16069) *
  • On imported .wss files, the "Find Next" command in the "Search & Replace" dialogue doesn't work properly (#16303) *
    • Workaround: Set "Search by columns" option
  • When deleting worksheets on which workbook-scoped named ranges had been created before, Spreadsheet Server may become unstable (#16249) *
    • Workaround: first delete all Workbook-scoped named ranges, save, close and re-open the workbook, then delete the worksheet
  • If the REPLACE() function is used on a string that is shorter in total than the number of characters in "number_of_chars" parameter, the formula breaks, causing corruption of the workbook on load ("invalid string position" error) (#16523) *
    • Workaround: On the workbok, select the cell where REPLACE() was used, and use "Edit" => "Clear" => "Clear contents"

 

 

Jedox ETL Server

  • After an Update, the ETL-Manager may not be showing any server in the left-hand-side hierarchy.
    • Workaround: Please make sure, that you delete the Browser's Cache and Cookies before first accessing ETL-Manager after an Update
  • Switching themes does not work yet. When opening ETL Manager, it will always revert to default theme. (#5377)
  • The ETL-Manager has display problems in browser Chrome (#8919).
  • Connection to MS SQL Server 2008 with ETL-connection hangs during Test, Data Preview or Job Execution. The reason is a bug in the Java Runtime Environment JRE 6.29 and 6.30: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7106332
    • Workaround: Install another version of the JRE e.g. JRE 6.25: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u25-oth-JPR
  • Certain extensions for Google Chrome (e.g. "Adblock Plus") may cause issues in interaction with ETL Manager
    • Workaround: disable extension
  • On project documentation files, the Flow Graph isn't working when viewed in Internet Explorer 9.
    • Workaround: edit the META tag in the documentation html file, setting the parameters to: http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"
  • In Internet Explorer 10, long Combox fields in ETL-Web-Client are not scrollable via scrollbar (#16272)
    • Workaround: use Mousewheel to scroll, or maunal entry (where possible)
  • Extract of type tree is not working in Internet Exporer 9. On editing the browser gets blocked. (#16092)
    • Workaround: To edit a Tree Extract use the XML-editor. In ETL Manager click on the component in with CTRL-SHIFT pressed.
  • It is not possible to copy the output of a Data Preview to the clipboard. Occurs with several recent Browser versions.
    • Workaround: Write the output of the extract or transform to a csv-File with a File Load. To limit the number of rows as in the Data-Preview, an additional TableView Transform can be used.
  • Relational Extract with Connection to MS SQL Server returns wrong values for Date columns when using Java 7. This is due to a knwon issue of the JDBC driver for MS SQL server in Version 3.0. (#16664)
    • Workaround: Update the MS SQL JDBC Driver to version 4.

 

 

Jedox Supervision Server

  • No known issues

 

 

Jedox OLAP Accelerator (GPU)

  • No known issues

 

 

Jedox 3rd Party Access (ODBO/XMLA)

  • "Convert to formulas" in an Excel Pivot table does not work for parallel hierarchies (#2081)
    • Workaround: Make sure that each dimension in your database has one distinct top-level node.

 

 

Jedox Setup

  • In some cases an existing JRE-Installation (Java Runtime) is missing its Windows Registry entries, so that it can't be detected by the Jedox Suite Setup.
    • Workaround: Add these 2 entries in the Windows Registry manually:
      • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.6 NAME=JavaHome TYPE=REG_SZ VALUE=<Path to JRE-directory> (standard: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6)
      • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.6.0_20 NAME=JavaHome TYPE=REG_SZ VALUE=<Path to JRE-directory> (standard: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6)
    • Start the Setup again
  • The installation script on Linux requires execution in "bash" shell. Others such as "dash" are not supported.
  • The Service Manager tool sometimes is not properly closed during Uninstallation, leading to a prompt when Uninstaller is executed (#14853)
  • When installing Tomcat with non-localhost interface, httpd.conf isn't correctly configured, causing problems with ETL Manager and Jedox Analyzer (#16081)
    • Workaround: edit the "ETL" and "Palo Pivot" section in httpd.conf, replacing the remote interface with 127.0.0.1. Restart Httpd Service afterwards.
  • The timezone setting in php.ini of Apache/httpd is hardcoded to "Europe/Berlin". This can lead to wrong display of time stamps in the Log viewer (#14823)
    • Workaround: adjust timezone setting in php.ini to match your timezone

 

 

Jedox Worksheet-Server 2

  • Text containing quote characters entered in WSS on Jedox String cells isn't saved correctly in the database (#2971)
  • In certain scenarios, Chart legends that are ordered horizontally are not displayed correctly (#6600)
  • Excel Designer 2007+: on some installations, first start of Excel Designer Addin (wscom.xla) causes error: "Compile error in hidden module: basCommands" (#8644)
    • Workaround: start Excel as Administrator once
  • Due to changes in the OLAP Server, DFILTER subsets in WSS2 116 will only work with Jedox OLAP Server 3.2 or newer
