Blank error message - IE 6

MikeLockwood · ‎Jan 19, 2010

Today we're seeing the attached error message while using Principal Administrator.

Advice on why this is happening / how to troubleshoot and fix?

Notes:

1. Repeatable for given user on given client accessing production.

2. Does not occur for same user on same client accessing a test Windchill server.

3. Clearing both IE and Java caches has no effect.

4. No known recent changes to IE or Windows.

I would check the Tomcat log or M.S. log to see if there is any info there.
May need to clear the Tomcat cache???

Nice getting to meet you last week. You'll be glad to know my eye doctor
gave me an Alcon sample for my contact lens solution. J

Had this problem last week and it took a bunch of time to figure it out.

the following is from the java site.

To clear the Java Plug-in cache:

Click Start > Control Panel.
Double-click the Java icon in the control panel.
The Java Control Panel appears.

Click Settings under Temporary Internet Files.
The Temporary Files Settings dialog box appears.

Click Delete Files.
The Delete Temporary Files dialog box appears.

There are three options on this window to clear the cache.

Delete Files
View Applications
View Applets

Click OK on Delete Temporary Files window.
Note: This deletes all the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the cache.
Click OK on Temporary Files Settings window.
Note: If you want to delete a specific application and applet from the cache, click on View Application and View Applet options respectively.

Hope this helps

Joe

Great thought. This was our first action for troubleshooting - didn't make any difference for us.

This also happened once in that past to one person. We deleted their account and re-created. It worked ok for a while but then re-appeared. Now it occurs for site admin as well.

baffling...

Mike,

Try this. We do this all the time.

Delete priv9.ser for the user (please see below)

Have the user Accept (Grant all permissions) it prompts next time.

Regards,

Rekha

Great thought - Just tried it - no effect.

Ok, I'm getting desperate - and now offering a LARGE cup of coffee (or a beer if you like) for whoever solves this mystery.

thanks!

Note that all the Java cache (and priv.ser) things only apply to applets
(and PSE).

As I recall the original issue didn't involve any applets.

This issue is reproduced at every client machine for same windchill user account. I don't think it is a client issue. Just looked at tomcat errors when I do the same operation.....

Looks like issue with user data corruption in the database. We ran into this
type of user issue multiple times.
I use the following sql script to check if the user data in database is
fine. This should return only one record if everything is ok. In corrupted
cases it will either return more than one result or none. Most of the time I
notice user corresponding record in the remoteobjectinfo table is deleted.

select * from remoteobjectid
where ida2a2 in (
select remoteid from remoteobjectinfo
where ida3a3 in (
select ida2a2 from wtuser where name like '%*<username>*
%'
)
)
