PM39733: EMPTY BROWSE PACKAGES AND REPORTS DIALOG IN TRANSFORMER WHEN NOT LOGGED IN AS A SYSTEM ADMIN USER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When adding a package or report to a Transformer model and not
  logged in as a member of System Administrators the Browse dialog
  box does not show available packages or reports the user should
  have access to.  This is not a permissions issue as the
  workaround will allow them to access and use these sources if
  they're available in recent history or modify these sources if
  they already exist in the cube
  

Local fix

• Log in as a user with System Administration rights and Select th
  e package needed.  Now with it in the history a user that has ac
  cess to the package but not System Administration can use it fro
  m the drop down list  Alternatively you can manually edit the co
  gtr.xml to point to the packages required so they'll show in the
   history.  The section is as follows;  <Section Name="RecentFile
  List"><Preference Name="File1" Value=""/><Preference Name="File2
  " Value=""/><Preference Name="File3" Value=""/><Preference Name=
  "File4" Value=""/></Section><Section Name="RecentPackageList"><P
  reference Name="mru_entry_0" Value="/content/folder[@name=&apos;
  AstMgmt_CS&apos;]/package[@name=&apos;Scorecard&apos;]"/></Secti
  on></Sections>
