Issue with UDFs and XL Reporter during Patch Upgrade

20 Views

Hi All,

I have upgraded a client to SAP B1 2007A patch level 47. Prior to the patch they had made numerous fields visible within XL Reporter and these have been used in many report definitions.

Since the patch upgrade the XL reports with UDFs do not work and come up with errors, the UDFs are not visilbe via Report Composer or Designer, if I go to Tools / User Defined Fields I can check the box to see previously added field and I can see that they should be visible.

I have logged this via a SAP support issue and they are saying its consulting issue and that I should have ran a query on the Company database and Common database prior to the upgrade however they have not offered any help with resolving the issue AFTER the upgrade. Some documentation of this in the Patch would have been useful as its not mentioned in the Patch Installation guide or Readme or release notes.

Does any one know how to get around this? I realise i can untick Visible in XL Reporter and then add them again, however this will change the name of the UDF in XLR and will mean I have to amend all of the definitions.

Regards,

Adrian
