PH29400: CA 11.1.7: LIST OF EMAIL RECIPIENTS IN SCHEDULE NOT DISTINCT

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Due to a change in the new UI, the customer is not able to
  clearly identify email recipients if many of them have the same
  names, usernames aren't shown additionally anymore
  
  As an example:
  - create 100 users with a name like 'Michael Fischer', and with
  user names like fismic00 - fismic99
  
  Result:
  - you can identify these users by a search both in the old
  Cognos BI 10.x as in the new CA 11.1.7
  - but when setting up the schedule and using the email search,
  you only see the names, and *not* (like in previous versions)
  both the names *and* the usernames
  - so it's impossible to see who is who without leaving the view,
  and perform a search. Still when coming back you don't know whom
  to choose
  

Local fix

• workaround is to use known email addresses instead of users'
  names
