Important: AutoArchive is available for Empower Personal.
Issues fixed in this release The following table contains a list of the software problems fixed in Empower 3 Feature Release 2. The PCS (Product Change System) numbers identify software issues that Waters personnel monitor within a system change request tracking tool.
Issues fixed in Empower 3 FR2:
PCS Number Description
30857, 37258, 43904, 37349, 39756
The processing method includes a new field where you can specify the Retention Time Reference for unknown peaks. Unknown peaks are then named based on the Relative Retention Time value calculated using the Reference peak.
48870 A screen unlocking error was corrected.
48629 The Empower 3 application would exit unexpectedly when attempting to run a sample set that contained a percent sign (%) in the name.
44188 A derived channel created by extracting a chromatogram from 3D data appeared to have a Data Start value shifted by one data point.
47794 An Empower 2 method named with more than one accented character could not be opened in Empower 3.
(716003923), Rev. D
Page 9 of 51
PCS Number Description
45577 A new audit trail entry records the event "Connected to existing system”.
45498 The Review application exited unexpectedly when clearing overlaid chromatograms.
48796 An application locking error was corrected.
47846 In the Japanese release of Empower 3, the QuickStart application would generate an MFC error when double-clicking to open a method set that contained a processing method.
47150 The size limit for the recover.log file was increased to 10 Mb.
48492 When a node’s property access is set to Owner, Group, and World, and specific groups were selected, accessing the Node Properties dialog box generated an Oracle Error ORA-00001. This no longer occurs.
47619 The Waters DHCP Server service was broadcasting across all network ports on the LAC/E module, which newer network switches could classify as illegal broadcast activity.
46088 The DHCP Configuration no longer sets a secondary IP address of 64.1.1.1 for the Instrument Network.
48799, 42378 After processing a sample set in the Review window, and saving the results, the Processed By field now displays the user type.
44578 In the Message Center, sorting on the Time column of the Acquisition tab (or other tabs) caused the view to display all entries in that tab. This problem no longer occurs.
42917 When restoring a project, if the project directory contained a 0 byte data file, it failed to update to the next version.
47495, 48822 When importing an AIA file into Empower, x-axis data in seconds was incorrectly displayed as minutes.
49038 Privilege issue when an administrator-level account was associated with other user types.
48860 The 2790 format plate type was the default plate type used for the ACQUITY SM-FTN. The ANSI-48Vial2mL plate is now the default plate type for the ACQUITY SM-FTN.
47486 A global count of login failures from all Empower applications now serves as the basis for user authentication.
49430 It is no longer possible to print a result report without saving a modified report method.
(716003923), Rev. D

PCS Number Description
50017, 47936 Under some circumstances, modifying Report Publisher default groups would permanently alter the list of groups available to the report editor.
50010 The PDA Reference display plot (in Review) displayed a jagged pattern due to an XML reading error.
45274 The Message Center no longer displays details in the Email tab when incorrect credentials are used.
47964 The limit for the number of projects in the tree view has been increased from 10000 to 65000.
47638 Following an application timeout, unlocking the 6-button Empower window required that you authenticate twice. Now, you need only authenticate once to unlock all application windows.
41501 GC syringe size is now an available field in the Report Publisher application.
44289 PC COM ports now support control of the Agilent 6890.
45618 Empower control of the Agilent 6890 GC now supports the 7693A autosampler. The following requirements must be met in order to support the 7693 autosampler on a 6890 GC:
• Updated 6890 firmware. The 6890A and 6890 “Plus” require firmware revision A.03.08. The 6890N requires firmware version N.06.07
• An updated autosampler controller kit (G4526A) for the 6890 GC. The G4526A 6890 Upgrade Kit is available in three versions:
– Opt 001 is for a 6890A (inlet cover and G4517A External ALS controller box)
– Opt 002 is for a 6890 plus (inlet cover and G4516A Internal ALS controller board)
– Opt 003 is for a 6890N (inlet cover only)
• The updated 6890A and 6890 Plus are compatible only with the 7693 ALS. Once updated, the 6890 GC will no longer be compatible with the 7683.
Restriction: You cannot use the 7683 and 7693 autosamplers on the same 6890 GC.
Requirement: The 6890 GC must have either one or two 7683 injectors with a G2613A or G2913A controller and no firmware update, or one or two 7693 injectors with a G4526A controller and updated GC firmware.
Important: While the 7693 injector is capable of making 6 different "steps" when setting an injection volume (for example, using a 10 uL syringe allows the injector to inject 0.2, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4,0, or 5.0 microliters), the 6890 GC does not have the capability to access step number 6. When used with a 6890 GC, the 7693 injector functions as a "5 step" injector.
43281 You can now modify system policies when LDAP mode is enabled without having to change the authentication mode back to local.
(716003923), Rev. D
Page 11 of 51
PCS Number Description
44625 You can now create a local login account while in LDAP mode.
45746 You can now enable the use of LDAP authentication without using SSL.
50504 When running in LDAP mode, choosing a Toolkit application from the Project window menu sometimes produced a login failure. This behavior is corrected in Empower 3 FR2.
50515,50516 In the Empower 3 System Administrator's Guide, the process to recover the database was updated to correct errors.
40895 The processing server would exit unexpectedly if results were processed in a project that contained GPC distribution custom fields with inter-sample labels.
38980 The columns in an exported file from a GPC distribution report are now aligned.
49298 In the Empower SystemsQT for Software IQ, the Pass/Fail reviewer and approver text is no longer shown when performing an electronic sign off.
47376 Printing an instrument method or post run report no longer causes information to overlap in the footer.
47008 In the channel description field of 2D channels table, the 3D channel polarities have been added after the extracted channel name.
44100, 44313 You can now perform cross-channel quantitation using the component set in the Curve Reference column in the Processing Method Component table.
41556 The Method Set Editor now provides expanded smoothing level choices for MS processing methods and MS derived channels. In addition, COmponent Detection Algorithm (CODA) analysis is available. You apply the CODA algorithm in the processing method to reduce noise in MS data. Data processed using this algorithm results in a new 3D channel that can reveal peaks previously hidden by noise.
40908, 45573 You can now perform batch processing using MS data (all types) with real time 3D baseline automatic subtraction.
42038 Online Help for Empower Database properties was corrected to distinguish between the tablespace management capabilities built into Empower 3 Personal and those available for Empower 3 Workgroup and Enterprise, which use Oracle Enterprise Manager to manage tablespace.
47815 For non-FAT projects, the "Modify Report Scaling Only" privilege was not applied when opening the Properties dialog box for a plot. This privilege is now applied.
47846 In the QuickStart Interface, clicking away from the Method Set editor could cause the application to exit unexpectedly.
48851 There is no longer a difference between the scan number observed in Review compared to the scan number observed in Reporting, when an MS offset is used in the processing method.

48969 Under certain circumstances, it was possible to delete a locked custom field.
49995,50238, 50386
In response to USP 35 chapter <621>, Chromatography, effective 01 December 2012, as well as changes to chapter 2.2.46, Chromatographic Separation Techniques, of EP 7.06, the signal-to-noise calculation was modified:
• USP s/n is still calculated as H/h, but the determination of H and h has been changed to be the same as it is for the EP and JP s/n calculations. The default width of the region used to calculate h (the Half Height Multiplier) remains 5.
• EP s/n continues to be calculated as H/h, but the default width of the region used to calculate h (the Half Height Multiplier) is now 5 instead of 20.
48889 The initial project quota for a cloned subproject is now the same as the project quota of the source subproject.

In the Specificity test, you can now specify the Significance and Assessed Field in the Component Type table in the Processing Parameters.
39883 You can now specify the channel used for the linearity test.
41430 The "Stability by Time" test no longer displays a red X when a channel name did not exist.
41192 You can now calculate a Slope Ratio against a different component. In the Linearity Comparison test, in addition to 2 channels, you can specify 2 component type names (Component Type 1 and Component Type 2), one for each curve (these component types can be either the same type or different types).
40772, 41834, 42272, 47020, 47575, 47980, 50245
You can now use real (numeric) fields from all peak types as the Assessed Field in all validation tests except Linearity, Linearity Comparison, and LDL/LQL Determination (including Accuracy). These fields are available as long as the option controlling them is enabled in the project. The options that control peak fields include System Suitability, PDA, MS, CE/CIA, GPC, GPCV, LS, and Dissolution.

Issues fixed in Method Validation
PCS Number Description
42191, 45864, 45885
Level values that start with numbers are now sorted separately as number values and placed in the list before level values that do not start with numbers. If multiple level values start with the same number, they are sorted first as numbers and then sorted using the text after the number. Example: The levels 80%, 100% and 120%, that were listed as 100%, 120%, and 80% when ordered as strings, are now listed as 80%, 100%, and 120% when ordered as numbers.
41003 You can now set the the Relative Assessed Field % threshold based on the new impurity processing values.
42069 Filter Validation, Specificity and Stability results can be held to an acceptance criterion of total number of impurity peaks set to zero, indicating that no impurity peaks are observed.
41002 You can now sum all degradation products in Filter Validation, Specificity, and Stability testing using the new Impurity Processing feature in the processing method.
39548 44659 45079
You can now assess the matrix effects on the recovery of impurities and drug substances from the drug product matrix on the analytical performance and characteristics of a method.
42818,45081 When performing a Robustness test, you can now select one-factor-at-a-time instead or a multi-factor Design of Experiment.
46855, 44479 You can now configure an Intermediate Precision/Repeatability test based on Japanese Ministry of Health, Welfare and Labour (MHWL) guidance.
40943 Group peaks are no longer excluded from MVM processing.
42717 The results calculated from a Robustness test now include the theoretical range for each numerical factor where the p-value will pass.
42887 In MVM, you can now control how multiple injections and multiple preparations are averaged.
39096 Each result that does not meet its MVM acceptance criteria is now shown as faulted.
41984, 42756 In the Overall Study Status field within Validation Manager, the status of Study Complete is now shown as either “Study Complete – All Tests Pass Acceptance Criteria” or “Study Complete with exceptions”.
40494 You can now print Method Validation results directly to SDMS after the results are signed off.
42065,42067 You can now set acceptance criteria based on various Component Type and Level options for the Relative Peak limits.

PCS Number Description
42066 When validating an impurity method, the RRF calculated in a Linearity test can now be calculated relative to the main component.
41076 For stability and filter validation, all peaks types have been added to the Relative Peak table.
41258,41852, 45078
For Stability and Filter Validation tests, the % change, relative % area and relative % recovery are calculated.
40917 You can now calculate the stability Reference Ratio = Assessed Field / Reference Assessed Field.
42453 For the Intermediate Precision test, Empower calculates the Pooled SD and Pooled %RSD values. These values are listed in the ANOVA tables in the Error (or Intra) row as the SD and %RSD values (respectively).
42913 Specificity Testing can now calculate results when peaks are missing.
40561, 40615, 40983
Additional fit types are now available for assessing linearity.

Known software issues in this release The following tables describe known software issues and workarounds for Empower 3 Feature Release 2. The PCS (Product Change System) numbers identify software issues that Waters personnel monitor within a system change request tracking tool.
• Data analysis and processing
• System configuration and project management
• Installation, administration, and instrument control software
• Reporting
• Empower software application components
• Method Validation Manager
• Empower Toolkit
• Empower Online Information System
Known issues in data analysis and processing
Known issues in data analysis and processing:
PCS Number Description
51446 When you view a method set that contains more than one channel using the same processing method, then proceed to the processing method view, and then proceed to Browse Project, QuickStart may exit unexpectedly. Workaround: Do not save the processing method from the method view. Instead, click Browse Project, and then click Yes when prompted to save the method. If you are not saving the method, proceed to the method set view, and then return to the processing method view before selecting Browse Project.
51268 Extracting a mass spec spectrum, when on a PDA channel, extracts a spectrum at that time for each of the 3D MS channels in the order that the channels appear in the 3D channel table. The software then selects the first 3D MS channel in the 3D channel table as the selected channel. If you want to extract a chromatogram from a different 3D MS channel, you must select it first.
51287 In rare cases, when performing CODA, 3D blank subtract and baseline correction on 3D MS continuum data, small artifacts in displaying the spectra can occur. The effect is exacerbated with the spectra used for 3D blank subtract or baseline correction are of high intensity, which is not representative of noise in the spectrum. Use CODA, 3D blank subtract and baseline correction on centroid data only. Continuum data can be viewed as centroid data when needed.
47206 When stacking a multi-channel 2D chromatogram that contains fractions, and those fractions are wide such that they cover the entire chromatogram, when you click an area to zoom that is inside a fraction, zooming does not work.
(716003923), Rev. D
Page 16 of 51
Known issues in data analysis and processing:
PCS Number Description
49551 The Component Editor may allow you to save changes to a processing method when errors exist in the Component table. Because Empower software imposes stricter cross-channel referencing rules, during processing, existing processing methods may have invalid cross-channel references, resulting in a Q74 processing code. In order for Empower to detect errors in the Component table, while editing the method, you must access the Component table at least once, before saving the processing method. Doing so enables Empower software to verify the component information.
49835 When performing background processing and printing from an Empower client, do not use a printer queue that displays a dialog box to enter a file name. When running in the background as a local system, the dialog box is not available to the desktop. Important: Do not perform this workaround while you are acquiring data from the client computer. Also, this workaround prevents you from accessing the acquisition system remotely. Workaround: Stop WatersService and set it to "manual".
49985 A derived channel created from two other 2D channels may produce different integration results than expected based on the integration of each of the other channels. Tip: Combining 2D channels works best if both channels have the same data rate. If the combined channels do not have the same data rates, peak integration will change. When this happens, a P23 processing code is added to the Result Code field.
50639 When processing a sample set that includes several diagnostic channels, and then reviewing the data in the Review window, the results reflect only the data from the detector channels, not the diagnostic channels. When processing data that includes diagnostic channels, you must use the table in the method set to specify the additional channels you want to process, along with a processing method. If you use only a processing method, or use a processing method that you saved in a method set, without specifying the channels to process in the table, Empower software does not process the diagnostic channels.

Known issues in data analysis and processing:
PCS Number Description
50903 When you identify a component in the 3D Component table whose parameters fall outside of the criteria for a peak, the Components table and Mass Analysis spectra are blank. An empty mass spectrum also occurs if you do not override the channel for the component. For example, when there is no MS data at the retention time of the peak or when you manually extract spectra when there is no MS data at the extraction time. An empty PDA spectrum also occurs when the main result is not a PDA result or when you manually extract spectra when there is no PDA data at the extraction time. Background: During quantitation or calibration, the spectra and Base Mass from the MS 3D channel that has the highest intensity mass spectrum is overridden with the component's MS 3D channel's spectra and Base Mass. If the component's MS 3D channel is not found, a P40 processing code: "Problem setting the Base Mass and spectra for this peak. Cannot find the 3D MS channel specified by the user" is added to the peak. The peak’s Base Mass, scan number, and spectra are cleared. If the component's MS 3D channel is found, and an apex spectrum cannot be extracted, a P48 processing code: "Problem using the 3D MS channel specified by the user to set the Base Mass and spectra for this peak" is added to the peak. The peak’s Base Mass, scan number, and spectra are cleared. "
51000 In the Processing Method Wizard, when you click “yes” to include the channel in the Components table, and continue on to name peaks using their RRT value, on the page with Name and Retention time, the peak name may exceed the 30-character limit, preventing you from proceeding to the next Wizard page. Rationale: The software does not truncate the auto-generated name, as that name may not be meaningful to you or other users. Solution: You can modify the auto-generated name to one that is meaningful to you, and that is within the 30-character limit.
51150 In the Processing Method editor, the 3D Channel table presentation is inconsistent because it sizes to fit the data in the table. If you did not enterany components in the Component table on Components tab, the 3D Channel table showed only column headers. The column headers size only to their content, while the rest of the table is empty. If the table contains components, then it displays a row for each component.
51259 When % Adjusted Area, % w/w, or % Area against the Main Component is used in a custom field that is the impurity response, the impurity response value is0 until the custom field is calculated.
51387 An MS/PDA injection cannot be deleted after background processing with the Enable 3D MS check box selected. Workaround: Close the Processing Monitor window, and then wait 5 to 10 minutes before deleting the injection.

PCS Number Description
48526 In a client/server or RAC environment, when starting a project back-up from a client computer, if the listener on the server disconnects or is shut down, the project backup is unable to continue because it cannot access the database to complete the process. In some cases an error message appears, indicating that that the export process failed, and in some cases, Configuration Manager may exit unexpectedly.
49904 When planning to upgrade a large number of projects, review the system resources on the server to ensure that you do not use up disk space for either the archive log area or the Oracle data files. Also, ensure that you do not use up the 9 index and the 9 User tablespace files, each of which is a maximum of 20GB. Large numbers of projects can take time to upgrade, but you can minimize this by monitoring resources on the server. Waters also recommends that you archive older projects, prior to upgrading active projects.
50068 When creating a standard project, and copying view filters, methods, preferences, and custom fields from an MVM project into the newly created standard project, a “copy from project” error occurs. Rule: Anytime you create a new project from another project, you must set the tablespace quota large enough to accommodate the methods, custom fields, and other such items. Recommendation: Set the size of the new project quota to at least 140MB.

51126 The Empower SQT project may not generate results in an OQ project, and may produce error messages from Configuration Manager. Rationale: In a client/server environment, this situation can occur when two operations access the same database object at the same time, which generates an Oracle deadlock. For example, running an SQT while another user is running a process that accesses the same object in the same project. Recommendation: If the SQT does not produce results, verify that no other user is accessing the Empower project and repeat the SQT.
51422 The Empower project window may lock when copying certain sample sets from one project into another project. Rationale: This can occur when using Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the Empower database server, and when multiple channels refer to the same vial. Workaround: Close the Project window and then open it again. Attempt to copy the sample sets again.

To prevent this problem, before you install Empower 3 FR2 on a Lenovo M57 computer, turn off the Windows firewall, and remove the antivirus software from the computer. Then, install the Empower 3 FR2 client software on the computer.
48917 During a project restoration, when the system prompts you to update the project to the next point release, if you click multiple times in the dialog box, the dialog box may display a “not responding” status, and a message indicating that MFC is not responding. Workaround: Wait for the dialog box to respond and for the Finish button to become active.

50519 When attempting to start the “Enterprise Manager Web Console” from the Empower Start menu, nothing appears. The Console is unable to access Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM). This problem occurs as a result of the security fix, KB2661254 that Microsoft released to fix security holes in smaller certificates. To resolve the OEM issue, Waters recommends that you disable this security fix for the entire system. Both solutions disable mandatory 1024 (minimum) certificates. This solution was suggested by both Microsoft and Oracle.
50625 The first attempt to run an ICS driver push installation on Windows XP starts, and then exits without logging any error messages and without successfully completing the installation. This situation also occurs when push installing ICS drivers on Citrix server PS 4.5. Solution: After the first attempt to push install ICS drivers on Windows XP or a Citrix server PS 4.5, reboot the system, and then rerun the ICS push installation. The installation finishes successfully.
50705 To ensure that you can verify files successfully, after removing the software, you must reboot the computer before you uninstall the Agilent ICF Support software. After you reboot the computer, do these tasks:
1. From the Start menu, click All Programs > Empower > Remove Waters Instrument Component Software.
2. Click Remove. 3. Select the product you want to remove, and then click Next. 4. Follow the prompts to remove the ICS (instrument component software)
from your system. Result: The registry and new CRC checksums are updated for the Empower installation. No Oracle or system files are affected. Rule: Removing Waters support for the Agilent ICF does not remove the Agilent ICF itself. You can remove Agilent ICF from the Windows Control Panel using the Add/Remove Programs utility on Windows XP or the Programs and Features on Windows 7.
50777 When upgrading to Empower 3 FR2 from base Empower 3 or Empower 3 SR1, the first time you log onto Empower, an Oracle error, “904: “OQMVMCOMM”:invalid identifier” may appear in the Message Center. The error message appears only the first time a user logs onto Empower. After the Empower database completes the update to database version 7.20, the error no longer appears.

51102 During an upgrade of the Empower software, the body of the Upgrade Status dialog box can appear blank, with the title showing, “Database Upgrade (Not Responding)”. This can happen if you pause the pointer over or click on the “progress” dialog box. The upgrade is still progressing, but the dialog box stops showing this progress. Workaround: To view the current status of the upgrade, use a text editor to open the log file located in Empower\Script\updatadatabase.log. This log file shows the status of the upgrade at the time that you open the file. Close and then reopen the log file to see an updated status.
51265 When archiving an audit trail to text, only the first 1000 items in the audit trail are placed in the file. When restoring the binary archive to offline, it contains the full number of lines. Workaround: To archive all system audit trail entries to text, set the Max Rows value to a number that is greater than the number of rows in the table. Click Update. Archive to Text should now generate a file with all the entries.

51125 The MS 3D Channel Component table is not shown in the default Processing Method report. The "MS 3D Channel Name (Description)" field is included in the Component table and is the same as that displayed in the MS 3D Channel Component table.
51221 When previewing data in a report, tables may overlay the chromatogram. Rationale: When placing report groups next to each other horizontally across the report method page, if at least one of these groups generates a data mismatch error, the error can affect the placement of other report groups beside it. This sometimes causes report groups to overlap in the Preview window and in printouts. Workaround: You can avoid this problem by modifying the report method, and repositioning the report groups such that they are not placed side-by-side on the page.

Known issues in Method Validation Manager:
PCS Number Description
51462 During Specificity testing, the main component is incorrectly faulted for Relative Resolution and Absolute Value of Relative Resolution in the Relative Peaks Table because the values are blank.
51530 When there is an invalid reference in relative criteria, a value of "-50,000" is displayed instead of a blank value without an error message. Workaround: In the table properties in Preview/Publisher, select Report Values with Formulas to assist in troubleshooting relative criteria assessments.
50975 In Method Validation Manager reporting, both the LDL and LQL validation fields appear erroneously as being available for plotting on a trend plot.
50905 When restoring MVM projects from versions of Empower prior to Empower 3 FR2 that contain Validation Studies, the study status field shown in the Project application may not show the actual study status while the validation study is open in the Validation Manager, until you save the study. In some cases, creating new validation results may be required to update the field.
50805, 50995 When a Validation Study shows a new study status, such as "Study Complete - No Criteria", that study status does not appear in Preview/Publisher window when using a report method or report group created prior to Empower 3 FR2 (or when selecting "Use a Report Method that was generated to be appropriate for the selected data"). In such cases, you can add the Study Status field to the report using Report Publisher.
50984 Some faults only appear in the Relative Peak table and do not appear in the data and summary tables. Refer to the Validation Result table for these types of faults.
51013 With the addition of the new Study Status Field, the first time you open previously-processed studies, a “Save Results” window appears because MVM is updating this field. Click OK. The results are not altered, reprocessed, or changed. Only the Study Status Field is updated. You can view data as usual in both Validation Review and Preview.
51152 Pass/Fail criteria for the new % Change fields for Stability and Filter Validation are assessed as-is, without determining the absolute value of the % Change. Set criteria using the ABS formula as needed.

51232, 51320 If you chose to report Relative Acceptance Criteria in a separate table in MVM Reports, the table does not distinguish between the Criteria table for criteria defined in Per Component Type and in Per Component Type Per Level fields.
51236 In some cases, Relative Criteria information may appear in both the Peak table and in the Validation Result table.
51237 When using Relative Criteria, the "Fault on Target" selection is available but not applied when selected.
51241 Unlike entries in the Processing method, it is possible to overwrite the Lower and Upper Limits calculated from the % Range value without clearing the entry in the % Range column in the Processing and Acceptance Criteria tab in the Validation Test Parameter Window. It is recommended that the review of the test configuration include an assessment of the Lower and Upper Limits in addition to the % Range value.
51276 Because the Grubbs Test fields are commonly blank during a typical outlier test workflow (either the Cochran test passed or did not have a specification), blank Grubbs Test fields will not cause a data fault.
51278 When performing the Linearity Comparison test, the referenced Linearity Test results must be results from the Linearity of the Method processing. Otherwise the message, “Validation Result incomplete” appears after Validation Processing.
51292 Summary-type functions are not supported in Relative Criteria for LDL/LQL Determination Tests unless the method of determination is Signal-to-Noise because of the type of data that is generated using the other methods of determination.
51294 Relative Criteria for the Peak or Result fields is not supported in the LDL/LQL Determination Tests unless the method of determination is Signal-to-Noise because of the type of data that is generated using the other methods of determination.

51346 In the Parameters dialog box of any validation test, on the Processing and Acceptance Criteria tab, you can initially specify a fixed number of component types and a fixed number of acceptance criteria in the table. You can create additional rows when you want to specify more component types or acceptance criteria. Here are some techniques for creating more rows:
• If you want to create a row when there is already a partial row visible at the bottom of the table, click in any field in the partial row. A scroll bar should appear next to the table, indicating that a row has been added to the table.
• If you want to create a row when there is no partial row at the bottom of the table, click a non-enumerated field in the last row, and then press the down arrow key. A scroll bar should appear next to the table, indicating that a row has been added to the table.
Exception: For some validation tests, the table may only contain enumerated fields. It may not be possible to add a row to such a table.
51349 If you attempt to change the test name of a legacy validation test in Validation Manager, all further interactions with the user interface will display an error message. When this happens, close, and then reopen, Validation Manager.
51352, 51367 In Report Publisher, the Stability Table Properties dialog box has a Results tab. If you click Help, the message, “Help Error ‘Cannot find the requested help topic’” appears. Many of the validation test specific report groups do not have context-sensitive Help. Alternative: From the Help menu, click Empower Help topics, which opens the Empower Online Information System. On the Search tab, search for the information that you need.
51353 Reports for validation results that report the Criteria table produce a message stating, “Criteria Table – table contains no data” under these conditions:
• No criteria were set for the validation test
• Only absolute or range type acceptance criteria were specified
If the validation test contains any relative acceptance criteria, then the message does not appear.
51357 In the Acceptance Criteria tables for any validation test, you can enter any number of relative acceptance criteria with the same field type, field name, and component type. If you attempt to mix an absolute or range type acceptance criterion with relative acceptance criteria, and all of the criteria have the same field type, field name, and component type, the message “You cannot have two rows with the same component type, field type, and component name in the Acceptance Criteria tables” appears. The message should read: “You cannot have an absolute acceptance criteria row with the same component type, field type, and component name as another row in the Acceptance Criteria table”.
