Environment

  • Xcelsius 2008 SP3+

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create an Xcelsius dashboard with QaaWS connection
  2. Modify the connection and change the "Web Services URL" to "/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice"
  3. Publish it to BusinessObjects Enterprise Repository
  4. Activate Xcelsius servers (KB 1482395)
  5. Logon to InfoView and navigate to the dashboard
  6. Open the Xcelsius dashoard. "General Server Error: null" error pop ups

 

Cause

  • Xcelsius servers need the CUID parameter in the Web Services URL

Resolution

  • Modify the QaaWS connection in the dashboard to include the CUID parameter
  • The CUID might be observed in Central Management Console (CMC) on the properties of the Query as a Web Service object (CMC - QaaWS - <name of the query>)

The URL should be similar to:

/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice?&cuid=Ad.Sg1mqTGNBmThcA3aSoH0
