INTRODUCTION
A hotfix rollup package (build 6.3.2211) is available for ProClarity Dashboard Server 6.3. This hotfix rollup package fixes some issues in Dashboard Server 6.3. This hotfix rollup package also adds some features.



Important notes about this hotfix rollup package
The following are some important notes about this hotfix rollup package:
 * We recommend that you back up the existing components in Dashboard Server 6.3 before you install this hotfix rollup package.
 * You cannot remove this hotfix rollup package unless you also remove Dashboard Server 6.3. To remove this hotfix rollup package, you must remove the whole Dashboard Server application.

Features that this hotfix rollup package adds
This hotfix rollup package adds the following feature:
 * ProClarity Dashboard Server provides a cache time-out application setting that you can configure in the Web.config file. This setting has been added to support network load balancing (NLB) clusters.

Issues that this hotfix rollup package fixes
This hotfix rollup package fixes the following issues.
 * The JavaScript in a Dashboard view may not run correctly if the view parameters contain an apostrophe (').
 * Key performance indicator (KPI) views cannot retrieve data when you refresh the Web page after the Web browser has been inactive for a long time.
 * In Microsoft Internet Explorer, the tooltip for the logoff link is missing.
 * In the Parameter Properties window of Dashboard Studio, the value in the Data Source list is truncated. This behavior occurs if the value is long and if the value is not of the U.S. locale.
 * In Internet Explorer, the tooltips for dashboard names are truncated.
 * ProClarity Dashboard Server takes a long time to load a parameter for the first time. This behavior occurs if the parameter is based on a hierarchy that has lots of members.

Configuring the cache time-out setting
By default, Dashboard Server caches the records that are retrieved from the database for 60 minutes. The Web.config file does not contain an application setting to set the cache time-out period. After you apply this hotfix, you can configure the cache time-out setting.

To set the cache time-out, add the following text to the Web.config file:    Replace the  placeholder with the value that you want to specify. Dashboard Server checks the database for new records every time that the cache time-out period expires.
