1198654 - Custom Functions do not get updated automatically after being modified, when refreshing reports in Crystal Reports or in SAP BI LaunchPad

Symptom

  • Repository Function no updated.
  • Custom Function used on the report, uses the old code, instead of the new updated one.
  • After updating a Customer Function stored in the repository, it does not update it when viewed in Crystal Reports, or in SAP BI LaunchPad.
  • A Custom Function is saved to the Repository and is used in report formula. When the Custom Function stored in the Repository is modified, the change should appear in all the reports with Formulas using the Custom Function. However, the change does not appear on the reports.
