This section describes the Known Issues for the Aspen InfoPlus.21 Product
Family V9.
Aspen InfoPlus.21
Long tag names may not display correctly
in GCS displays
CQ00418949
Long tag names, introduced in V7.3, may not display correctly in GCS
displays.
Workaround
As a workaround to the problem, the AspenTech Calculator Engine service can
be restarted once an Aspen Properties license is available. The calculation
should then pass the license check successfully on the next cycle and
operation should proceed normally thereafter.
In order to forestall the possibility of license unavailability, we recommend
that standalone licenses be installed on the same platform on which Aspen
Calc and Aspen Properties are to be run. License authentication can be
provided by dongle, IP address, MAC address, DiskID or any other
characteristic valid to SLM.
Workaround
A formula larger than this should be split into multiple, smaller formulas.
If the host is a Windows 2008 server, it is very likely that the firewall of the
host prohibits the inbound connection. Use the host’s firewall advanced
settings to allow inbound connection for CalcScheduler.exe, which can be
found in Program Files\Aspen Tech\AspenCalc\Bin.

CQ00485931
SQLplus Reporting
Cannot print SQLplus reports to a network
printer on Windows Server 2012
CQ00522061
When SQLplus Reporting is installed on Windows Server 2012, reports will not
print.
Workaround
In order to print reports, install SQLplus Reporting on a non-Windows Server
2012 machine.
