USAP 

Fixes an error introduced by licensing changes delivered with 6.9.0.0. The error prohibits execution of Business Warehouse functionality for locally-configured and Controller-obtained licenses.

USAP 

Prevent SAP InfoPackage job execution from being mistaken as an attempt to run a regular SAP job that uses a model job without the jobid.
