List - I am proof positive that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing".
I had a BI template and definition that needed a tweak.
I deleted the "Report Definition" via P95620.
From P95600, I downloaded the template, made a formatting change, and uploaded the template.
Back in P95620, I copied a different "report definition" that was attached to a different version
of the same UBE, and pointed at a different template.
I selected the newly created "report definition" and adjusted the UBE|Version and template to what I needed.
I compared the two entries, and they match except for the version name and template name.
In both cases "Blind Submission" is checked.
I did a "submit" on my newly added definition.
When I run the "copied from" template/defintion, which is launched from an application,
I am NOT prompted for output destination, XML is generated, and BIP properly formats the PDF.
When I run the "new" template/definition, launched from the SAME application,
I AM prompted for destination, do NOT get XML, and only get the unformatted PDF.
I have performed these steps numerous times, hoping to see why they act differently.
This has included signing off, and trying from a different machine.
I read the BIP manual looking to find my oversight.
Can anyone point me at what I may have missed that my new template/definition isn't working.
Please and Thanks
