APAR status

Error description

• When trying to use External Data on a package with Object
  Security defined, the external datasource never shows up on the
  source tab. It occurs in both Report Studio and Business Insight
  Advanced for Dynamic Query Mode packages.??This even happens
  when only set 'allow' to the group everyone on the top level
  visible namespace and then use the administrator account to
  create a report.
  

Local fix

• If possible do not use Dynamic Query Mode or Object Security.
