Error description

  • IA UI updated to handle null RIDs of deleted Common Model
objects

Local fix

  • N/A

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
USERS AFFECTED:
Information Analyzer 8.1.1, 8.1.2 and 8.5 users.
****************************************************************
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When Column Analysis has been completed followed by Baseline
Analysis or any other actions, and then the Metadata is deleted,
the objects related to the Metadata are removed from the Common
repository. Any Information Analyzer model objects that refer to
these Common Model objects will get a blank RID returned. The
blank RIDs cause various aspects of the UI to fail.

In one case a Stack overflow is caused and the user sees a .NET
error message indicating "Unable to load Resource file."
****************************************************************
RECOMMENDATION:
Upgrade to Information Analyzer 8.5 Fix Pack 2, or 8.7.
****************************************************************

Problem conclusion

  • Previously, the Information Analyzer User Interface had not been
coded to deal with blank RIDs for metadata repository objects.

Temporary fix
