Data Protection Advisor (DPA): Emailed report attachments have a filename of "null"

After upgrading Data Protection Advisor (DPA) to 19.10, the emailed Scheduled Reports are received with an attachment with a filename of "null."

The observed filenames are:

null.csv
null.pdf
null.html

Below is a screenshot an example of the issue.

DPA scheduled reports created in version 19.9 and earlier may not have the filename field enabled for email attachments.
 

This is a known Bug/Defect in Data Protection Advisor.

For new DPA 19.10 scheduled reports, it is mandatory to provide a filename. For older preexisting reports, this field was not mandatory and was commonly left blank. In these cases, the reports would arrive with a default value of "DPA_ScheduledReport."

Resolved in Data Protection Advisor 19.12
​Note the DPA 19.12 version is planned for release in early 2025.

The latest DPA patch builds are available from the Dell Support site or from Dell Technical Support.

A workaround is available for this issue.

Open the DPA UI and navigate to the custom templates (reports).  Modify all of the preexisting scheduled reports and add a file name for each.
