The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. #4461

Essbase/EPM Scripts

  • Fixed Issue: When testing a script with a connection that utilizes OAuth, the connection attempt failed with an error similar to the following: Unable to connect. Cannot invoke "com.appliedolap.dodeca.retroess.soap.EncodedString.getValue()" because the return value of "com.appliedolap.dodeca.retroess.soap.EssConnection.getUsername()" is null. #4255

Essbase Views

  • Enhancement: The AutoAddRetrieveSubRanges feature is now supported when using RESTful Essbase connections. #4381
