An issue with Sticky Reports was found in which CM4Di would become unresponsive when making changes to Sticky Reports and saving repeatedly. It was discovered that duplicate information was being stored for Sticky Reports. This caused the size of the save to become very large, and as a result, load times were greatly increased.
A fix has been implemented to prevent this from happening to any new Sticky Reports from this point onward, but existing Sticky Reports must be re-saved in order to remove the unnecessary information. To facilitate this fix for databases that contain a large number of existing Sticky Reports, a hotkey has been provided in this version that will allow you to fix all Sticky Reports at once.
To fix all Sticky Reports at one time using the hotkey:
In CM4D Interactive, connect to the database that contains the Sticky Reports that you want to fix.
If you have the access rights, you can connect to more than one database at a time.
You do not need to load any Routines, but if one is already loaded that is acceptable.
Click anywhere in the white report area.
On the keyboard, use the F8 key.
When prompted, click OK.
Click OK again.
All Sticky Reports will now be re-saved with all duplicate information removed.
This fix was also provided as a Hot Fix in v20.3.1. The ability to fix all Sticky Reports at one time is only included in v20.4.1.
