SYMPTOM:
If an attribute element prompt answer is set to have a default answer when that data element is removed from the data warehouse, the prompt still shows the obsolete data as a prompt selection Strategy Developer and Web 9.x and newer
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Execute the following in Strategy Tutorial:
- In LU_REGION table add a new Region element called Middle.
- Create a report with the Call Center attribute in it. Create a new attribute element prompt on Region. Set the default prompt answer to Middle.
- When the report is executed in Desktop, the default prompt answer Middle is displayed in the prompt.
- Delete the Middle attribute element from LU_REGION table. When the report is executed again, Middle still shows up as the default prompt answer.
- Clearing object server cache and restarting Intelligence Server does not resolve the issue.
CAUSE:
This is a known issue in Strategy Developer 9.x and newer
ACTION:
Modify the prompt definition to manually remove the deleted element from the default answer.
