| What is Upper English? - Upper English FixPaks are intended for double-byte systems that require English commands to be in ALL UPPER CASE. These are typically systems that use Kanji characters. |
CAUTION!!! FixPak 4 (ShowCase STRATEGY 4.0) and later contains Java code, which entails extra steps for patching. In order for a fix to take affect, you must follow these instructions in order.
If the following message appears, the patch has not been applied.

Note: ShowCase is not the only application that uses these jobs, so you must make sure that there are no other programs using these jobs. This may require that you dedicate your AS/400.
(At this point, please be sure that Item 2 from Downloading the FixPak has completed. That item involves executing the file that was downloaded from the web, thus creating the larger .bin file that will be saved as an FTP file to the server.)

FixPak Installation Instructions.
Back to table of contents to continue installation
Undoing the FixPak
If you want or need to get back to the original files (before the FixPak was applied), you will find them in the BACKUP directory, which is located on the drive that the FixPak is run from. The BACKUP directory contains a file called unpatch.bak. This file is a script file containing the commands necessary to automatically restore the original files. To restore the original files (from any operating system environment):
If you apply multiple FixPaks over time without deleting the Backup directory, the BACKUP directory will contain multiple copies of FixPak files and the related original files from each backup. You may wish to periodically clean the BACKUP directory to recover disk space. To keep the most recent backup information, keep the latest unpatch.bak (or unpatch.bat if you already renamed it) file and the files listed in its text.
Back to table of contents to continue installation
This file describes problems corrected by one or more FixPaks for the OLAP clients of DB2 OLAP Server for AS/400, Version 7.1. Even if you have only one of the problems fixed in one of the FixPaks, you need to perform a full FixPak installation.
To install this FixPak, make sure your system has enough memory. Then download the files that match your operating systems and national languages and begin the installation. For complete installation instructions, see the OLAP Setup and User's Guide.

If a dimension consists
of more than 32 members with a single non-consolidated child, the attribute
association with that dimension is erroneous. (21933, 23982, 25014 P3)
If there are more than
32 members in one dimension, and that dimension contains a parent with
exactly one child that does not consolidate to its parent, an attempt to
associate attributes to that dimension may result in a corrupt outline,
with no error message.
Attribute query with
sparse Two-Pass calculation members returns incorrect values. (22752, P3)

(24976, P3)
If the formula is executed
in a cell mode, attempting to retrieve data on sparse dynamic calculation
members may result in incorrect #MISSING values.

work correctly with User Defined Attribute (UDA). (20758, P2)
@SUM function may not work
correctly with more than one macro as its expList.
Incorrect handling of
operators, such as AND and OR inside a FIX statement. (20766, P2)

a crash may occur and an exception error log is generated when using an
alias in the partition definition.
Error in outline synchronization
with transparent partition on a shared member. (21620, P2)
During outline synchronization,
an attempt to add both shared and regular members in the same dimension
to a target database may not add the shared member, and it may give the
error message, "There is 1 Message in the application log identifying a
change that was not applied during the outline synch."
Calculation on a transparent
partition seems to run indefinitely. (21651, P2)

error log file and hinder the data restructure process.
Translation for Member
Selection is incorrect. (21744, P2)
In Hyperion Essbase Spreadsheet
Add-in with Excel, Essbase Member Selection features are erroneously translated.

(@IRR) function produces incorrect results. (22163, P2)
Using @IRR in a calculation
script may produce incorrect Retrieve results.
Database restructure
causes the application to crash. (22206, P2)
If a member is renamed
after another member that is deleted, the new member may map to both previous
and existing members and cause the server to crash.
"Invalid Block Header"
error following a calculation script or other long running update operation.
(22256, P2)
Error 1006010 or 1006016
appears following a calculation script or other long-running update operation.
Although the problem has been corrected by this patch, the error message
indicates that the database was corrupted. This patch will not fix corruption
that has already occurred. You must therefore restore the most recent clean
backup of the database or start over with an empty database.

Replace on a large calculation script will delete some portions from the
calculation script. (18490, P2)

error following a calculation script or other long running update operation.
(22256, P2)
Error 1006010 or 1006016
appears following a calculation script or other long-running update operation.
