Geographic Roles From Prior Releases

The following are release considerations and product changes for App Studio.

When procedures with parameters have been referenced in an HTML page, two new options are included at the base of the New Parameters dialog box:
- Insert Run Defer button.
- Insert Schedule button.
As of Release 8.2 Version 02, a blank value (no value) has replaced _FOC_NULL in HTML controls at design time. In prior releases, when the display value was _FOC_NULL, _FOC_NULL was shown in controls on the design canvas. The display value _FOC_NULL is now changed to All in both design time and run time controls of HTML pages.
In the Document canvas:
- HTML5 charts contain syntax that is currently not supported on the Document canvas, unless the output format is active PDF or active report.
- In the Domains area, when you reference or import an existing chart procedure, the Open File dialog box will only show charts that contain an output format of active PDF or active report.
- In the Data Servers or Projects (optional) area, when you reference or import an existing chart procedure, selecting an output format other than active PDF or active report may result in a not enough data to draw chart message.
In Business View Plus (BV+):
- The OLAP user interface is not available in App Studio for Master Files that contain the BV_NAMESPACE=ON attribute. The OLAP user interface is available for legacy Master Files and Master Files that contain the BV_NAMESPACE=OFF attribute.
- Sort objects are not supported for Business View Plus (BV+).

Geographic Roles From Prior Releases

Any HTML page created prior to Release 8.2 Version 03 will be using non-unified geographic roles. The type of geographic roles that can be used is controlled by a parameter in the Reporting Server called UNIFIED_ROLES. In order to use any HTML page created prior to Release 8.2 Version 03, the UNIFIED_ROLES parameter must be set to Off. If the HTML page is edited in the App Studio HTML canvas while the UNIFIED_ROLES parameter is turned on, the user will have to manually edit it and save the new settings.

To change the UNIFIED_ROLES parameter value, go to the Workspace page of the Reporting Server Web Console, click the Geo Services button on the ribbon, and click Edit settings.
