We just upgraded to 7.1.6 and find that some PDF files containing .gif graphs now show the error message:

"The file is damaged and could not be repaired"

A case has been opened with IBI. Of note: the last FocalPoint item with this PDF issue appeared in 2005 (and it's almost 2007!)

It always helps to ask the folks who know.

Rock on Focus Nation! Best wishes for the Holidays and IBI in 2007.

Sandy,

I can remember getting this issue with gif graphs in 5.2.3 and it was inconsistant although it generally occured when trying to render a graph with no plots.

The method I used to overcome the complete failure of the PDF (it was a 4 x 4 graph plot on A3 paper) was to read the first six chars of the gif file and if it didn't match "GIF89a" then I substituted the "damaged" gif file with a known gif file that said the file was damaged.

Good luck and seasons greetings!

Never had any graphs generated in our system so far for distribution, but the last time we had a lot of 'damaged' PDF files was due to a 'problem' with WebFOCUS and McAfee interaction.

Happy Holidays.

The graphs did work in 7.1.1 and 7.1.4 and we just upgraded. Something tells me that the upgrade might be an issue.

Update - we found fixes and the graphs are now running.

Specific changes:

1.) Removed APP HOLD IBISAMP - this was done for the .gifs but was actually
extraneous

2.) Added a -EXIT at the end of the job prior to a label pointing to a &RECORDS
EQ 0 label.

Thanks for all who checked in!
Happy Holidays and the best for IBI in 2007!
