Thread: getting "An unspecified error occurred" message first time I open page in site

getting "An unspecified error occurred" message first time I open page in site Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 05 Mar 08 3:26 PM

I am using 7.2.1.

Here is what I do...
1. I make a change to the slxclient in the A A
2. rebuild the platform, deploy the site
3. Do an iisreset
4. logon onto the web
5. Do an account search
6. select an account from the list
7. Click on the title of any tab

The error pops up. BTW, none of the picklist in the site work after error occurs (when I click on the button it displays the word "helvetica")

I then close the Web Client and logon again and the error does not happen.

Has anyone see this?

If you look at the Event Log on the server when this occurs you'll see more details about what is really going on (so instead of seeing "unspecified error" you get the actual details of the error including a stack trace)

What does it show?

I have not been able to track down the source of this issue... I am probably missing the obvious.

Anyone got any suggestions?

The best I can say is that the error you see in the event log is probably not directly related to the cause. Typically what happens is the page crashes while trying to load the entity, then the OnUnload event tries to do some stuff with that entity but since it's not there it throws the NPE and you never get to see the original error.

Try commenting out the whole OnUnload body in Account.aspx and see if that can give you a better error message...

Oh actually try installing 7.2.2 first. 7.2.1 is too buggy to even begin to waste your time troubleshooting it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: 7.2.2... As best as I can tell the error does not occur on 7.2.2, however the client is currently at 7.2.1. They have 7.2.1 production and 7.2.1 development environments setup, which I can not mess with, and they do not have the resources to setup a 7.2.2 testing environment.

If it works in 7.2.2 it might be a problem with the Systeminfo data blob... so you could try replacing it (on a development database!) with an "eval" systeminfo blob and see if that fixes the problem (do a search in the forum for "end of stream" or "systeminfo" or check the post at http://blog.chivinou.net/2007/10/24/unable-to-read-beyond-the-end-of-the-stream-saleslogix-72/)... Unfortunately even if that works on DEV it won't give you a good solution for the problem they have in production since you may not want to trash their systeminfo blob.

SlxSupport rebuilt the Systeminfo data blob after the database was upgraded to V7.2.1. Until this was done the client could do was logon. As soon as they tried to open and Account or Contact page the WebClient threw errors and aborted.

I also fixed some DB content related issues (null values, data type issues, invalid dates, and boolean issues). There is a very good chance that this is content related but I just can not find it.
