Using Command Password Option to Access Master File With DBA Security

If you open the Procedure Viewer in the Managed Reporting area of Developer Studio and use the Command Password option to provide the password to access a Master File with DBA security, the setting is not applied. As a result, a user access error occurs if you execute a request in the Procedure Viewer against the Master File with DBA security or if you try to open any of the tools using that Master File. You can add the setting SET PASS=DBA_PASSWORD at the top of the procedure as an alternative.

Timeout Issue With Microsoft Windows API

Intermittently, Developer Studio fails to open large files which prevents further report development. If the Master File is large, a timeout may occur while waiting for the reporting server and WFServlet to send a response. The Developer Studio communication layer (WFSCom) uses a specific code from Microsoft to set timeout values for requests. If the Developer Studio communication layer does not get a response from a Web server within the timeout period, a message is displayed. The timeout value for the request is normally set to infinite, however, the Microsoft Windows API function that sets timeout values for requests is not working properly. For more information, you can visit the Microsoft Support site at:
