PM38280: Metric Designer pulling incorrect data from FM package

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Client is having issue with metric designer and FM package.
  Client has a two level scorecard hierarchy created under a
  metric extract and is trying to pull data on monthly level from
  an FM package.??The first level scorecard is call Company and
  Second level is called Division. The data for Company level
  scorecard is incorrect as it is repeating the same data for all
  three months but if you check the data in FM for the same
  scorecard the data is different there with different results for
  each month.??I tested the same FM package in report studio and
  query studio and data looks fine there too with different
  results for each month. but not in metric designer. ??I applied
  the FP1 for metric server on top of the Ga install and after
  this metric designer is unable to pull any data from the same FM
  cube. the review data comes out empty for both scorecard.??I
  tested the same FM package and MD package in 8.4.1 version and
  it works fine there. The client are not in position of upgrading
  to the 8.4.1 version this year and would like the issue to be
  resolved in 8.4 GA if possible.
