Approximately 20 existing defects have been fixed.

Known Problems and Hints

• All projects created with a version of ADVIZOR Analyst before R5.6 must be re-published to ADVIZOR Server

• See the Implementation Guide if you are using adv2advm.

• Only install ADVIZOR Server to the default location on the "C" drive. Installing to another location will cause publishing to the server to not work.

• Existing Navigation Panes must be migrated from HTML format to RTF. If you originally created the Navigation Panes in Microsoft Word (or another text editor that will also write RTF files), you can re-write the files and then go to the Page Properties dialog in ADVIZOR Analyst and load the new file. If you do not have the source files, you can create them like this:

  • Go to each Navigation Pane in ADVIZOR Analyst.

  • Right click in the Navigation Pane and select "Select All" from the popup menu. Right click again and select "Copy" from the popup menu. This copies the current pane contents to the system clipboard.

  • Open a text editor such as Microsoft Word and paste from the clipboard.

  • Save the pane contents to a file of type "RTF".

  • Go to the Page Properties in ADVIZOR Analyst for each page with Navigation Panes and load the new files.

  • If you are using Microsoft Word, make sure that the Paragraph format has 0 points of space before and after paragraphs; other specifications are not followed when the text is displayed in ADVIZOR Analyst.

  • Only insert images that are in standard image formats such as PNG, GIF, or JPEG. Other formats may not appear if the Navigation Pane is published to ADVIZOR Server.

Technical Support

When submitting a problem to Technical Support, email is the preferred mechanism ([e-mail]). In the email, please provide as many of the following as possible:

• Errors are logged to a file at this location; include a copy of this file:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ADVIZOR Solutions\<product name>\error.log

Or

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\ADVIZOR Solutions\error.log on Windows XP

Replace <product name> with Analyst or AnalystX, etc. as applicable to your product.

• Machine's System Information file created from the "System Information" saved as type ".nfo"

• Operating system's Application event log in .evt format so that we get the detailed event descriptions

• If you're having a database access problem, submit all relevant DB information, including DB vendor, DB version, whether the DB is local or remote, whether or not you are able to access the DB using vendor or third party supplied query tools, etc

If you encounter an error/exception and are offered the opportunity to forward diagnostic information, please do so. However, note that you can help reduce the time to resolution by also including details of the actions that led to the event. Our ability to rapidly understand the problem is significantly increased when we know all the details.
