The MVA™ driver in SAS® 9.4M7 (TS1M7) might cause issues with the StageFM library and with dimension exports


If you update an existing SAS® Financial Management installation to release 5.6 on SAS 9.4M7, you might see the following error while the StageFM library is registered:

StageFM.table-name not found.

However, when you go to the StageFM library, the table that is named in the error does in fact exist.

Variations of the above error wording can appear as well, such as the following message:

The required table "table-name" is missing

These types of error can also appear when you are exporting a SAS Financial Management dimension to a StageFM table, and that table does not have an underscore character in the table name.

For example, an export of the ANALYSIS dimension fails because its table name is StageFM.ANALYSIS. But an export of the ORGANIZATION dimension succeeds because the StageFM table name is StageFM.INT_ORG.

These issues occur because of a change to the MultiVendor Architecture™ (MVA) driver in the latest maintenance release.

A hot fix is planned for this issue.

After you apply this hot fix, the MVA™ driver is corrected for use with the platform.
