Key Updates:
Bug Fixes
Fixed challenge using the Recent option in the right click menu on the task bar, where an unhandled exception is given and a broken session of VDM opens.
Fixed the Selected Schema drop down being blank inside an Interprose Ace Connection Wizard.
You can no longer rename command tables to an invalid name, which would result in the table disappearing in VDM.
Grid level expressions when on an Oracle connection no longer show the full file path.
Fixed an issue when opening MDS views from WebReport connections, which would result in blank command tables.
Fixed a typo in the description for "Value" on parameters.
Addressed multiple challenges regarding the use of MQN_As (Multi Query Name Splitter).
Finished Reports bindings are lost after using MQN_As to rename results.
Visualize bindings are lost after using MQN_As to rename results.
When using MQN_As there is no result indicator if you get no results in one of the result sets.
The result sets in Visualize would not clear out after renaming them using MQN_As.
