Resolved Issues in 9.3.7 HF-005 (This Release)

SRVADPT-4178
Manual configuration of multiple bootstrap servers within edasprof.prf causes the Kafka adapter's 'Test Connection' to fail. The operation returns error codes: FOC31048 KAFKA open failed; FOC1265 KAFKA processing error

SRVADPT-4191
When leveraging Excel templates for Compound reports, the system generates XLSX outputs with compromised file integrity. Microsoft Excel identifies these files as corrupted, preventing them from being opened or rendered.

SRVADPT-4193
An error occurs during the connection test to a Confluent Kafka cloud instance while utilizing SASL_SSL authentication protocol.

SRVDA-3062
Invalid FOC_NULL processing in non-active filters

SRVDA-3065
When uploading Excel files in non-English locales, the Excel adapter fails to generate the required metadata (MAS/ACX files). This regression triggers the following specific errors: (FOC31042) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Sheet found with r:id rId0. CPJAVA: Error in processing EXECUTE command for Class ibi.jvvget.jvvxls

SRVMED-2431
An error occurs during the connection test to a Confluent Kafka cloud instance while utilizing SASL_SSL authentication protocol. The environment must be updated to the latest version of the Kafka JDBC interface to support this protocol.

Included fixes from 9.3.7 HF-002 (Gen 3007)

SRVADPT-4172
Optimize Databricks bulk loads by replacing granular record reads with a high-performance batch model to substantially decrease data latency.

SRVDA-3036
Enabling SET EMPTYREPORT=ANSI within the WebFOCUS Reporting Server profile results in a 'Metadata and Target already exists' error during file uploads.

VIZ-1216
Line charts plot all data points at the X‑axis origin when a date format was changed from the default (YMD).

Included fixes from 9.3.7 HF-001 (Gen 3006)

IDA-1831
In a WebFOCUS Active Report, clicking the Export button will now generate a .xml file rather than the legacy .xls format. This update ensures consistent export behavior across both ARVERSION=1 and ARVERSION=2.

SRVADPT-4143
The server agent crashes during XML file generation when processing source data that included string-formatted fields.

SRVDA-2966
The Salesforce.com adapter in WebFOCUS Server now includes an "Allow Data Load" advanced parameter. The default value is Yes - to enable Upload, Quick Copy, and Custom copy functions. The value No - disables these data loading features.

SRVFOC-2041
Reports return a FOC003 error when the following four conditions exist: two or more Business Views are joined together, a DEFINE FILE is used to create a virtual field on the JOIN structure, SET KEEPDEFINES=ON is part of the FEX, and BV_NAMESPACE is set to ON for all Business View synonyms in the JOIN.

SRVRM-337
An encoding issue in the Resource Analyzer resulted in data corruption when capturing request filters that utilized multi-byte or non-ASCII character sets.
