Dashboard export does not include reports with Freehand SQL as data source
Defect Fixed
I am exporting a dashboard and re-importing in our production environment. I notice that two reports are omitted from the export and are flagged on re-import as "The report <name> will be skipped." They both have Freehand SQL as the data source so I'm guessing that's the cause.
It seems to be the same as Problem 1 of this bug report acknowledged in 2014: https://www.yellowfinbi.com/resources/forum/yfforum-problems-with-exporting-freehand-sql-reports-in-yf-7-1-thread-176758 Do you know if that bug was patched / can you advise on how to integrate those reports into my dashboard in the other environment?
Thanks,
Sam

This bug as been reported as fixed in the upcoming bugfix release of Yellowfin, 9.7.1. Which version of Yellowfin 9 are you using currently?
Kind regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I'm currently using 9.7.0.3. Good to know this will be fixed. Do you know when this release will come out?
In the meantime, I'm trying to deploy this dashboard this week and get customer sign-off, so I'll probably see if I can manually transfer and re-integrate those reports.
Thanks,
Sam

Update: The freehand SQL reports don't appear on the export page when I search them by name, so I guess I cannot keep export them and re-add to the dashboard as a workaround. I will notify my customer and await patch version 9.7.1.
