Contributor Web Grid does not open for some users:

Troubleshooting


Problem

When attempting to open a node in Contributor Rich Client, a small number of users see the splash screen, but when the progress bar approaches 100%, it disappears and no error message is displayed. The grid doesn't open. Also " -2147220450 Unable to Bulk Load the data.~~~~BulkLoad Execution returned 1.~~Output file" error on failed data import when hitting Copy tab in CAC.

Symptom

No PlanningErrorLog.csv is generated on the client.

However, if generated, provagent.log records:


**** OFFLINE? - NOT CREATING NODEMODEL ANYMORE ****
**** OFFLINE? - NOT CALLING iNodeModel.refreshDependantsFromCachedResponse() ANYMORE ****
ATTACH
JVMDUMP006I Processing dump event "systhrow", detail "java/lang/OutOfMemoryError" - please wait

Javacore and heapdump files will be generated and will also show:

java/lang/OutOfMemoryError



Provagent log is usually located at C:\Documents and Settings\%user profile%\Application Data\CognosRCP\logs\provagent_8.4

Location of Javacore and heapdump files can be found in the provagent log.
