Hi All, I am back after failing to upgrade to SP4 because of various issues that we were seeing in the release notes, and due to SAP’s Vulnerabilities suggestion, we are planning for an emergency upgrade from SP2 Patch9 to SP4 Patch11.We installed the new version in Sandbox and are testing the reports. I am receiving complaints about missing rows due to change in calculation engine(suspecting there is a change in calculation engine ). Can you please provide any issues experienced due to the calculation engine changes and workarounds that fixed the reports ?
I reached SAP for any known issues in SP4 Patch11 and as usual, they are not helping with such information.
Thanks,
Srinivas
We discovered an issue in many of the SP4 patches related to the Extend Merge Dimension Values setting. This was supposed to be fixed in SP4, Patch 11. Perhaps it is not fixed as intended.
Thanks for posting this issue here.. Our power user experienced this issue and she is currently trying to find a workaround.
There are a couple of ways to get around the issue.
- Examine your Merged Dimensions in the Webi document and try to find a better way to merge them. This is what we did.
- Now that you are on SP4, try using the Data Mode to replace using Merged Dimensions.
If this is truly NOT fixed in SP4, Patch 11, this is very disappointing.
