PH03012: DRILL-THROUGH NOT WORKING WITHOUT READ-PERMISSION

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• If there's a drill-through from Report A to Report B it's
  working without the user having Read access on Report A and
  Report B (expected behaviour / feature of CA 11.0.12)
  When the Drill-through report (Report B) is Renamed and/or moved
  to e.g. Report C the drill-through in Report A no longer works
  when the user doesn't have Read Permissions on Report A.
  The drill-through is no longer working AND refers to the
  original Report and/or location (e.g. Report B)
  When the user is given Read access on Report A the drill-through
  works again and opens Report C.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  	Logged in as Administrator
  	Created Report A with Go data warehouse (query) samples data.
  Product, Product line, Revenue.
  	Created Report B with Go data warehouse (query) samples data.
  Product line, product type, Product description.
  	Went to source report (Report A), clicked on product line
  entries, properties, data, drill-through definitions, Report as:
  Report B. Action: Run the report. Format: HTML. Ticked open in
  new window. OK.
  	Run Report A. Click on product line, drill through works.
  (both Admin & test user).
  	As Administrator made sure a test user could access my report.
  This test user was placed in Analytics Users Role only.
  	Permissions Analytics Users were granted on Report A are:
  Custom. Read: Default. Write: Default. Execute: Yes. Traverse:
  Yes. Set Policy: Default.
  	As Administrator renamed Report B to Report C.
  	Signed back in as test user, Ran Report A, clicked on drill
  through, get an error message: Content Manager did not return a
  drill target for /content/folder[@name=Samy
  Reports]/report[@name=Report B]
