Bug fixes

Showplan:

• Fixed the Live Query Statistics (LQS) elapsed time to show the engine execution time instead of time that's elapsed for the LQS connection.

• Fixed an issue in which showplan was not able to recognize Apply logical operators such as GbApply and InnerApply.

• Fixed an issue that's related to ExchangeSpill.

Query Editor:

• Fixed an issue that's related to SPIDs in which SSMS could throw an error message that resembles "Input string was not in a correct format. (mscorlib)" when you run a simple query that's preceded by a "SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON".

SMO:

• Fixed an issue in which SMO was not able to fetch AvailabilityReplica properties in case the server collation was case-sensitive (and therefore, SSMS could display an error message that resembles "The multi-part identifier "a.delimited" could not be bound.").

• Fixed an issue in the DatabaseScopedConfigurationCollection class in which incorrectly handling collations occur (and therefore, an SSMS that's running on an machine with a Turkish locale could display an error message that resembles "legacy cardinality estimation is not valid scoped configuration" when you right-click a database that's running on a server with a case-sensitive collation).

• Fixed an issue in the JobServer class in which SMO was not able to fetch SQL Server Agent properties on a SQL Server 2005 server (and therefore, SSMS was throwing an error message that resembles "Cannot assign a default value to a local variable. Must declare the scalar variable "@ServiceStartMode" and, ultimately, SSMS was not displaying the SQL Server Agent node in Object Explorer).

Templates:

• "Database Mail": fixed several typos. For more information, see Fix spelling error in template "Database Mail" > "Simple Database Mail Configuration".

Object Explorer:

• Fixed an issue in which Managed Compression would fail for indexes. For more informaiton, see SSMS 17.4 - Error when enabling page compression on index through GUI.

Auditing:

• Fixed an issue for the Merge Audit Files feature.
