Bug with answer file access for VBA API RunPackage

[former_member186338]

I am working with EPM SP27 patch 2 and trying to implement RunPackage API to pass answer prompt to DM package. Everything correctly but I am unable to delete answer file after RunPackage execution.

    epmDM.RunPackage epmDMPackage, strAnswerFileName
    Kill strAnswerFileName

The file strAnswerFileName is still open after RunPackage execution!

After decompile of EPM code in ILSpy I can see the reason:

Public Sub RunPackage(package As IADMPackage, filename As String)
    Try
        SAPModuleNameInspectorBehavior.ModuleOverride = "DataManager"
        If package Is Nothing Then
            Throw New InvalidArgException(String.Format(Resources.ExceptionParameterIsNull, "package"))
        End If
        package.CheckParameters()
        If filename Is Nothing Then
            Throw New InvalidArgException(String.Format(Resources.ExceptionParameterIsNull, "filename"))
        End If
        If filename.Trim() = "" Then
            Throw New InvalidArgException(String.Format(Resources.ExceptionPropertyOfObjectIsAnEmptyString, MyBase.[GetType]().ToString(), "filename"))
        End If
        Try
            Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(filename)
            If Not fi.Exists Then
                Throw New InvalidArgException("File doesn't exists")
            End If
            Dim fs As System.IO.FileStream = fi.OpenRead()
            Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(fs)
            Dim content As String = sr.ReadToEnd()
            ...

But I don't see sr.Close until the end of procedure

Looks like bug!

Bug is STILL there as of 2.6.100.78647

Looks like SAP support has to be notified!

Even with introduction of DataManagerAdvancedRunPackage in EPM SP 29 Patch 01 it's still not possible to delete answer file immediately after package run. Same lock.
