adTempus 3 Support for Windows 7

adTempus 3.0.6 has been tested against Windows 7 and works on this platform with the limitations discussed below. A future release of adTempus will address these issues.

DLL Registration Failure During Installation

During adTempus installation, you may receive an error message similar to the following:

Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\bin\ExportModeller.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895. Contact your support personnel.

This issue is described in article K00000321.

Issues With Interactive Programs

If you have jobs configured to run interactively (with User Interaction set to "Console" or "User's Session"), you will encounter the following problems:

• If the "Run with highest privileges" option is not checked, the step will fail immediately and adTempus will report the following error message in the job log:
  Step failed because the program run by adTempus returned an exit code of -1073741502, which indicates failure. Consult the documentation or output from the program for information on the meaning of this exit code
• If the "Run with highest privileges" option is checked, the program will run, but its user interface will not be visible (though the program will appear on the Task Bar, and an outline of the window may be visible).

There is presently no known workaround for this issue, other than to run all programs non-interactively (User Interaction set to "Hidden"). 

adTempus 2.x Support for Windows 7

adTempus 2.x has not been tested on Windows 7 and is not supported on this platform.
