Hi Nick,

main topics are (as probably expected)

* Usage/functionality of V12
* Interfaces to external systems
* Excel-Migration
* Authentication

To not overloading this thread, please find attached my detailed issues for the coming User Group Meeting.
(If the attachment is not transmitted, please let me know)

I’m sure, it is not complete, more things will be coming up almost every day …

I’m looking forward to getting a lot of information in the virtual meeting and I hope that my issues will cover those of many others as well.

Regards,

Ralf

Hello Ralf!

I've just read through your PDF and nearly all the issues you've mentioned are relevant for us, too. The only topic I cannot give a comment on are dynamic arrays. I haven't heard of it before.

@ Nick: I would therefore be happy if Ralf's topics (or some of them) get covered in the user group meeting. Thanks!

Best regards, Daniela

Hello together,

I would also appreciate updates regarding the migration of old Excel reports to v12 (unfortunately enough that an Office 365 subscription is necessary) and regarding the authentication topic. But almost all questions Ralf stated are those for the "old world" customers only running Infor BI and not the complete Infor Stack.

Best regards

Florian

Hi all,

new month, new ideas or wishes

Additionally to the already posted issues:
the scheduled report distribution with dynamic delivery is for many customers a must-feature for the migration from V11 to V12.
Will it be available in V12?
Maybe we can spend some time on this in the coming user group meeting.

See/hear you next week,

Ralf

Here’s one more thing to address:

Now that we have in V12 not just one repository database and one OLAP-directory, but several databases (Log, Config etc.)…

In V11 an application can be easily replicated to a test system by just copying the repository database and the OLAP-directory to another server and finally adapt the database connections if necessary.

What are the steps to replicate/copy an application in V12 ?
And which components have to be backed up to restore an application when running on-premise?

Are there any procedures to transfer single reports or OLAP components from a test- or development system to the live system?

What is best practice for the above issues?

Thanks for your patience…

Ralf
