NetIQ Corporation strives to ensure our products provide quality solutions for your enterprise software needs. The following issues are currently being researched. If you need further assistance with any issue, please contact Technical Support.
Issue: If you install Analysis Center on a computer that does not have EnableLUA registry key, the installation fails with following error:
No instances of SQL Server detected
Workaround: Do the following to add the EnableLUA registry key and then proceed with the installation:
Run regedit.exe to open the Registry Editor.
Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Create a new DWORD with the following values:
Name: Specify EnableLUA
Data: Specify 0x00000000
Issue: If you want to upgrade Analysis Center and run the installer on a Windows Server 2003 computer that has Analysis Center 2.9 Data Extension and Security Update for Windows Server 2003 (KB2918614) installed, the installer fails to proceed.
Workaround: To enable the installer to proceed with the upgrade, you must uninstall this security update. For more information about this security update, see Microsoft Support website.
Issue: When you upgrade Analysis Center, the upgrade fails if the SQL Server Analysis Services, MSSQLServerOLAPService, is running using the domain name in the user@domain.com format.
Workaround: You must provide the domain name in the domain\user format.
Issue: For backward compatibility, Microsoft supports an undocumented user authentication methodology called Password Pass-Through. Although it might be possible to configure Analysis Center to work in environments with this connection methodology, NetIQ Corporation cannot verify that Analysis Center correctly works in such environments.
Workaround: None.
Issue: If you first install Analysis Center followed by AppManager or AppManager Control Center on the same computer, you must restart the computer before you remove any of the Analysis Center components. This is because removing the Analysis Center components without restarting the computer deletes the registry keys for AppManager and AppManager Control Center.
Workaround: None.
If you have multiple instances of the Analysis Center Console open, and make changes to the security settings for a node from one Console, those changes are not reflected in the other open instances of the Console. Changes take effect the next time an instance of the Console is started.
For example:
User A is logged in to Console 1. User B is logged in to Console 2. Both have permission to view the Reports node.
User A changes the security settings for the Reports node to deny visibility to User B.
The new Reports node permissions for User B do not take effect in Console 2. User B can still view the Reports node.
The next time User B logs in to the Console, the new Reports node permissions take effect. User B cannot view the Reports node.
Issue: If you manipulate the data presentation of a Derivation template to derive a report with a large quantity of data, the console might take some time to respond.
Workaround: None.
Issue: When you install Analysis Center 3.2 using the Setup.exe file on a machine that has another NetIQ product installed, you might get a security warning that displays the publisher as unknown.
Workaround: Ignore the security warning and proceed with the installation as the build is duly signed with the NetIQ Corporation. This warning appears because of the digital signature SHA-1, which is now deprecated.
