Error received: the current function cannot be completed because of a network issue.

Environment

  3. Select report
  4. Select page to view in the designer

RESULT: timeout error - the current function cannot be completed because of a network issue.

Cause

There is a problematic component in the report page.

Resolution

  1. Confirm that the issue can be reproduced by other users
  2. Check that there are no validation errors (validate the affected page either from Report Designer or Admin > Instance Validation)
  3. Create a copy of the page in a separate report (create new report > add report page > from exisiting report > select the affected page to make a copy)
  4. Remove the affected component but take note of the measures and columns (to be able to recreate in the next step)
  5. Recreate the component based on the details from above
