Changes in This Update

This release corrects issues discovered since version 2.2 and adds minor enhancements. See article K00000516 for changes in version 2.2.

The following changes are included in this update:

General
Add variable to store output file nameCR00007241
Enhancement

New variables were added to store the name of the export file from a File Output (export) operation. These variables can be used elsewhere in the project (such as in an e-mail message) to insert the export file name. The new variables are:

Output.n.PathAndFileName
Complete path and file name
Output.n.FileName
File name without path
Output.n.Path
Path without file name

In all variables, n is the ID Code shown in the properties page for the output. For example,

${Output.1.FileName}

inserts the file name from output number 1.
Report Commander may not correctly handle "{tab}" placeholder for CSV exportsCR00007180
Defect

When you use the Project Editor or Command Line Builder to create a CSV export and set the Field Separator to "{tab}", the export file may contain the literal "{tab}" instead of a tab character.

This problem occurs if the report is executed from the Preview feature in the Project Editor or Command Line Builder, or using the Project Runner (adrcexec), but works correctly when run from the Command Runner (adcrutil).

This problem was corrected.

Report Commander does not create export target folder if it does not already existCR00007187
Defect
This problem was fixed so Report Commander will create the target folder if necessary.

Invalid parameter value error when parameter value omitted for non-optional string parameterCR00007191
Defect

For more information see Knowledge Base article K00000527.

Predefined variables for report parameters do not appear in variable selector or user guideCR00007201
Defect

Report Commander defines a variable for each parameter in your report. You can use this variable to insert the value of the parameter at runtime. The variable for each parameter is named "Parameters.ParameterName", where ParameterName is the name of a parameter for the report.

These predefined variables were not described in the user guide and did not appear in the variable selector in the user interface. This has been corrected.

Command Line Builder does not include login option if user ID not overriddenCR00007210
Defect

For more information see Knowledge Base article K00000479.

Connection to ftp server fails when using SSL/TLS (FTPS)CR00007211
Defect

When using an FTP upload task with SSL enabled, the upload may fail with error "File upload failed: Exception of type 'KellermanSoftware.NetFtpLibrary.FtpException' was thrown."

This problem was resolved.
