The release notes for this version contain the following items:

ClickOnce Prep Utility

  • Fixed Issue: When signing deployments with an existing certificate by thumbprint, only the current user personal store was checked for a matching certificate. In Dodeca 8.5.1 and higher, both the current user and local machine stores are checked. #4161

Essbase REST Connector

  • Enhancement: Added support for getting drillthrough reports for selected cells in Essbase 21.7 and higher. #4171

Selectors

  • Fixed Issue: When a view is configured with ParallelExecution set to True and multiple selectors are configured to use the same connection, an error similar to the following can occur: Unable to open view "<view_name>". The view "<view_name>" window cannot be initialized. Unable to setup selectors. <…​> The process cannot access the file '<path_to_cache_file>' because it is being used by another process. #4166

Workbook Scripting

  • Fixed Issue: In Dodeca 8.5.0, the CopyWorksheet method was not correctly registered with the application, which resulted in an error similar to the following: Procedure "<procedure_name>" has an unknown method "CopyWorksheet". #4173

  • Fixed Issue: In Dodeca 8.5.0, the SetSelector method could fail to set the selections of a SelectorComboBox with an error similar to the following: Error setting selector. Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'AppliedOLAP.Dodeca.Common.ISelectorItem'. #4172

  • Fixed Issue: The EssbaseOperations.BuildDimension and LoadData overloads require the RESTUrl property of the Essbase Connection but throw an exception similar to the following if the ServletPath property is set: A RESTful connection is required to perform this operation. #4162

  • Enhancement: Added support for using the CloseApplication method to close an application from the BeforeClose event of a view. Previously, this was not supported by design. #4150
