Known Issues

The following issues are the noteworthy known issues of this release.

·         6967727 - The QueryVaryingAttributes.java sample program points to a "basicVA" database that does not exist.

·         8207401 –During ad hoc analysis in Smart View, if you change POV values from base values and refresh, refresh works as expected.
