BPC 10 NW - distribution always sends all members

Hi

Peculiar problem we have been having for a few days now.

Distribution has always worked correctly for us. However, now for a new requirement when I built a new distribution template, with selected dimension members going to allocated people, the output actually created as many sheets as recipients, but each sheet had ALL dimension members.

I have checked the following scenarios - so, am not sure whether the distribution template is wrong, or the new input schedule is a problem.

1. Existing report and existing distribution templates work – no problem
2. Existing report and new distribution template work
3. Created a copy of the existing report and used new distribution template – worked
4. Created a new report and used new distribution template – did not work
5. Created a new report and used existing distribution template – did not work

I can confirm that

1. All distribution templates are .XLT [it seems .XLTX does not work always]
2. The existing and new distribution templates are all the same (as in the settings are the same)
3. The existing and new input schedules are all the same (as in the settings are the same)
4. When the scenarios that worked were run, during the process of distribution, I could see the schedule being distributed being processed in the background (i.e. behind the dialog box that shows the status of the distribution process).
5. When the scenarios that did not work were run, the dialog box appeared, but nothing was in the background. So, am assuming that the refresh of the worksheet in the background while processing for each recipient does not happen. Ofcourse, the process finished successfully; no errors, and it created as many worksheets as recipients - but all were created with ALL members.

Any ideas? Given that half of the scenarios work, and the other half dont, I dont think it is a support pack or patch related problem. The set up details are given below.
