Bi 4.1 SP4 Instances limits not working

[stephane_lamarche]

Hi,

I've applied instances limits on folders and reports using the CMC, but the extra instances of reports are still not being deleted after going over the set limits. I've set it to 10 and checked the checkbox to delete the instances after to exceed the limit, but it's not working.

I've even recycled the CMS for good measures. Nothing seems to make the limits work. Is there something else that need to be setup for those limits to work? Like a service or a scheduled job or something?

All the documentation I've seen on the subject does specify anything else to setup.

Need help...

Thanks

Stephane

There are so many issues reported on instance limits in 4.1 SP4. Lot of theses issues are fixed in SP5.

There are many KB articles in Support portal. Check them. Below is one of them.

What seems to be the most stable SP currently for BI 4.1?

We are finding so many issues in SP4 that I seem to be patching the server constantly.

Thanks

Unfortunately, even i found issues with SP5 with patches (promotion management), I had to revert back to base SP5. I have not fully tested SP5 yet.
