Environment

SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics

Reproducing the Issue

  1.  Login to instance
  2. Go to Report Center
  3.  Run a Story report
  4. You will notice below error for the widget that uses that data source
    Unable to Retrieve data from the data source.
    Error: [Internal error occurred while processing.]

Cause

This is due to the number of records fetched for the widget - huge volume of data returned causing memory allocation error.  Preview Query only retrieves a limited number of row which is why there is no error during Query Design.  But at Story level all data is read. 

Resolution

Please add a filter accordingly to the query or the data source itself to limit the data returned. In this case please edit the User data source and apply filters to limit scope. e.g. filter by Program ID etc.

In addition, you can also apply an additional Story level filter and apply the following to help improve performance of the report:
