Resolved Issues
| Description | Issue number |
|---|---|
| Connection overrides are not being used by OLAP cubes. | AR-878 |
| Argos Web Viewer ignores ADO connection settings to allow insert/update and allow delete in user/group rules. | AR-1153 |
| LDAP group security permissions do not inherit correctly and exhibit inconsistent behavior. | AR-1004 |
| Non-administrator users see empty or missing folders when logging in to Argos after the mapplet restarts and then a schedule that they do not have permission to access runs. The folders reappear the next time an administrator logs in. | AR-871 |
| Denying "Execute" permission on a DataBlock does not prevent it from being run via Web Viewer. | AR-980 |
| Denying "Execute" permission on a DataBlock does not consider inherited "Deny modify" permissions. | AR-479 |
| MAP server is not automatically detected when logging in to Argos for the first time on a new machine. | AR-994 |
| New installations of Argos on an existing MAPS 4.2 installation do not create the Argos database correctly. | AR-954 |
| OLAP cubes with "Exclude zeros from averages" checked and "Supersaturated" not checked may return unexpected results. | AR-601 |
| OLAP - when running a saved state, sorting a dimension by key field does not work correctly. | AR-728 |
| OLAP - if a measure's display caption is referenced by a calculated field, that calculated field does not register any changes to the display caption. This causes a problem when attempting to load and validate saved settings. | AR-957 |
| Dimension Editor allows groups with duplicate names at the same level. | AR-988 |
| Filtering a multi-column list box in the Web Viewer using the "is Null" condition returns no results. | AR-1222 |
| Cannot delete saved states for system dashboards. | AR-887 |
| Gauge chart dials disappear when changing the theme and then setting it back to the default of "Facts". | AR-842 |
| Memory leak in DataBlock Designer. | AR-949 |
| Memory leak occurs after renaming or moving a folder or DataBlock. | AR-1224 |
| Access violation when attempting to save a display caption in OLAP saved settings. | AR-823 |
| Access violation when dragging a field to the outside of a blank grid in the query builder. | AR-858 |
| Including an extra colon (::) in front of an object's name in a query causes MAPS to become unresponsive when testing or running the query. | AR-1127 |
| The API tab of the "Edit Report" window allows for improperly formatted dates, which then cause the API call to hang. | AR-649 |
| Error thrown when users run multiple simultaneous reports via API. | AR-681 |
| "Error code: 100 DataBlockSql does not exist" thrown when running a DataBlock. | AR-839 |
| "Catastrophic failure" error thrown when attempting to apply OLAP saved settings that contain expanded rows. | AR-978 |
| Errors "Abnormal program termination" or "(EDOMParseError) Not enough storage is available to complete this operation" thrown when FTPing large scheduled reports. | AR-992 |
| Error acquiring a lock to edit a DataBlock or report after an unrelated session terminates abnormally. | AR-327 |
| Users can open the same report twice for editing, which causes the report to become locked. | AR-964 |
| RTF object background colors do not appear in scheduled banded reports. | AR-488 |
| Removed "horizontal" checkbox from point chart options because it does not do anything. | AR-897 |
| Exiting Argos via File -> Exit launches Help. | AR-969 |
| Web Viewer - Running a CSV report in IE 9/10 appends ".txt" to the filename and opens the file in the browser instead of downloading it. | AR-1137, AR-1238 |
| Dates inserted into a SQL Server database via Web Viewer include a GMT timestamp when none was specified. | ARGOSWEB-935 |
| Images being pulled from a table do not display in the Web Viewer. | ARGOSWEB-781 |
| Refreshing a dashboard using an OnClick button decrements date system variables by the time offset. | ARGOSWEB-911 |
| Dependents of a SQL variable will update the first time the variable changes, but not on subsequent updates. | ARGOSWEB-903 |
| Objects on a secondary form with dependencies do not execute automatically in Web Viewer. | ARGOSWEB-936 |

| Saved settings do not load correctly when changing from one saved setting to another. | ARGOSWEB-904 |
| Form objects on panels do not align properly in Web Viewer. | ARGOSWEB-751 |
| Objects on dashboard are drawn in slightly different locations in the Web Viewer, potentially causing them to look misaligned. | ARGOSWEB-932 |
| Shapes do not resize in Web Viewer when set to align to "client". | ARGOSWEB-885 |
| Users are not prompted for correct ADO credentials if the MAPS username/password fails. | ARGOSWEB-917 |
| Folder does not appear in Web Viewer even though all permissions are correct. | ARGOSWEB-909 |
| Refreshing variables via an OnClick event causes Web Viewer to time out. | ARGOSWEB-887 |
| Form elements with a value of type DateTime throw an error when running a DataBlock. | ARGOSWEB-905 |
| Tab order within a dashboard does not work in Argos Web Viewer. | ARGOSWEB-902 |
| Exporting a multi-column list box to a CSV file in the Web Viewer does not preserve users' changes to column ordering. | ARGOSWEB-854 |
| DataAware edit boxes display square box characters in place of new lines in Web Viewer. | ARGOSWEB-888 |
| Very long DataBlock names cause the Web Viewer interface buttons to shift down to the next line. | ARGOSWEB-915 |
| Web Viewer chart options, expand, and close buttons are very difficult to select on the iPad. | ARGOSWEB-896 |
| A white bar appears at the top of the screen on an iPad after logging in or changing password, requiring a refresh or display rotation to remove. | ARGOSWEB-895 |

| Charts in Web Viewer display all series, including ones marked as disabled in the chart editor. | ARGOSWEB-827 |
| Changing Web Viewer chart to a point chart throws an error when there are more than 60 data points. | ARGOSWEB-893 |
| Bottom axis chart labels are visible in Web Viewer when set as not visible in the advanced chart editor. | ARGOSWEB-878 |
| Changing a Web Viewer pie chart to a point chart turns on "color each" and shows x axis values as additional series in the legend. | ARGOSWEB-920 |
| Web Viewer charts do not respect axis min/max settings specified in the advanced chart editor. | ARGOSWEB-925 |
| Stacked 100% bar charts do not display to scale correctly in the Web Viewer. | ARGOSWEB-924 |
| Axis labels for charts in the Web Viewer overlap when there are many elements. The Web Viewer now checks the bottom axis increment amount set in the advanced chart editor, which can be used to reduce the number of labels that are shown. | ARGOSWEB-930 |
| Left axis chart labels are visible in Web Viewer when set as not visible in the advanced chart editor. | ARGOSWEB-921 |
| Multi-line button text using large fonts overlaps in the Web Viewer. | ARGOSWEB-901 |

| Expired evaluation licenses are not correctly interpreted by the Argos Web Viewer. | ARGOSWEB-293 |
| Numeric keyboard shortcuts for navigating in Web Viewer do not work with the number pad keys. | ARGOSWEB-892 |
MAPS
Enhancements
| Description | Issue number |
|---|---|
| To maintain secure communications between users and the MAP server, use of Argos Web Viewer now requires that MAPS be configured for HTTPS. Users will be redirected back to the launch page if they attempt to access Web Viewer through the non-secure HTTP protocol. | LAUNCHWEB-74 |
| Added ability to link and unlink an evisions.com website account with a MAPS username when using the HTTPS launch page. Linked accounts will automatically log in to all evisions.com widgets when logging in to the eLauncher. | N/A |
| The Argos Web Viewer now opens in a new browser tab instead of the eLauncher tab. | MAPS-430 |
| Added a registry entry that controls whether or not Web Viewer is enabled for Argos. Disabling Web Viewer via the registry hides the button on the launch page, as well as removes the "Web View" button and "Web Viewer Settings" option from the Argos client. | LAUNCHWEB-94 |
| Added support for FTPS (FTP over SSL) for scheduled Argos reports in addition to the existing support for FTP and SFTP. | MAPS-107 |
| Security enhancements relating to invalid web API function calls - instead of returning the original input in the error message, MAPS now returns an "Invalid function name" error. | MAPS-432 |
| Added a drop-down on the Server -> Launch Page tab of the Configuration tool allowing MAPS administrators to show all applications, only installed applications, or applications the user is authorized for when logging in with HTTPS. | MAPS-424 |
| Added a Test Print feature to the Printer -> Edit Printer dialog in the Configuration tool to help verify that a printer has been added to MAPS successfully. | CONFIGTOOL-88 |
| Split the Launch Page tab in the Configuration tool into two sub-tabs: Appearance and Widgets. | CONFIGTOOL-153 |
| On the Applications tab of the Configuration tool, refreshing the view now remembers and automatically selects the application that was selected prior to the refresh. | CONFIGTOOL-168 |
| Disabled product launch buttons when using a non-Windows device that does not support the client application. | LAUNCHWEB-69, LAUNCHWEB-62 |
| Widgets are now remembered on a per-user basis when using HTTPS to log in. | LAUNCHWEB-95 |
| Pressing Tab on the login dialog jumps to the Log In button instead of back to the top of the browser. | LAUNCHWEB-141 |
| Updated the "What's New" pane on the launch page with information about Argos Web Viewer. | LAUNCHWEB-70 |

| Description | Issue number |
|---|---|
| LDAP users explicitly added to MAPS do not inherit user roles from any LDAP groups they are a member of. | MAPS-299 |

| Symantec sometimes identifies mapsconfig.exe and formfusion.exe as a threat and deletes them. | MAPS-64 |
| If an email is sent from MAPS or a MAPS application where the From or To address contains an invalid character, attempting to open the MAPS email queue results in an error. The only way to remove the bad email from the queue is to edit the MAPS database. | MAPS-283 |
| When MAPS is first installed, the mapplets do not start until the service is restarted. | MAPS-286 |
| Setting the default IP restriction policy to "deny" blocks access from localhost. | MAPS-287 |
| Error "Updater executable failed to update the services in the allotted time" sometimes occurs when attempting to update MAPS. | MAPS-332 |
| Running a report as an Oracle user with an expired password causes MAPS to hang. | MAPS-367 |

| Cannot stay logged out of HTTPS launch page despite clicking "log out" and closing/reopening the browser. | LAUNCHWEB-55 |
| Launch page periodically does not load the information pane or widgets, and the product flipper extends the full height of the browser. | LAUNCHWEB-56 |
| Java 7 version 11 and higher is not detected when using IE9. | LAUNCHWEB-65 |
| Error "Java could not be detected or is unavailable" occurs when loading the eLauncher on a Surface tablet. | LAUNCHWEB-71 |
| When using HTTPS, if the user edits the launch page settings to hide certain applications, upon refresh ALL applications are hidden until the browser is restarted. | LAUNCHWEB-72 |
| Hiding any unused product via the Settings dialog on the launch page causes all products to be hidden. | LAUNCHWEB-75 |
| Updated Log Out dialog buttons to match the Log Out dialog buttons in Argos Web Viewer. | LAUNCHWEB-101 |
