Charts don't load. Reports are fine. DevTools Network saying POST <LINK> 500. 2 REQUESTTOKEN Params.
Hello,
I have a client using Yellowfin and he brought to my attention that his charts were no longer loading. Nothing has changed client or server side regarding how this could have happened.
I took a look and saw his reports were fine, but when I viewed a chart that was created using a report, the loading circle spins forever.
Taking a look in the Network tab in DevTools, I noticed that there was a Status 500 error that appeared upon loading the chart page leading me to believe there could be an issue with the server. So I've restarted Yellowfin, the server, and even updated to 9.9 to try get around this error. It still has that error upon opening a chart.
I took a deeper look into the error DevTools was showing me, and I noticed that within the MIReportOutputAjax.i4;tab_token=********-****-****-****-************;*=1?REQUESTTOKEN=********-****-****-****-************&REQUESTTOKEN=********-*****-****-****-************ there were 2 exactly the same REQUESTTOKENS being sent in the same POST request, even though when I do the same process on a different customers working YF, there's only 1.
So I'm thinking there is an issue/bug somewhere causing an extra duplicate parameter to happen when attempting to view a chart.
I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
Many thanks,
Rob
The same question
Hello Rob,
Thankyou for reaching out to Yellowfin Support
I need a few details from you in order to continue with this investigation.
1. Is this occurring with all the charts or just one in particular? Could you please try creating a new one from scratch and see if it works for you?
2. Need the complete info.jsp page. To access this page, just append info.jsp to your YF url.
E.g. http://localhost:8080/info.jsp
3. Screen recordings of the procedure you are performing.
4. I require complete logs in debug mode with timestamps i.e Source, yellowfin, jdbc, localhost, Catalina, etc. Here is documentation on enabling debug if you need it. https://community.yellowfinbi.com/knowledge-base/article/how-do-i-turn-on-debug-logging-within-yellowfin-log-file
These logs are located in the Yellowfin folder at yellowfin-->appserver-->logs.
In the ftp link provided below, you can share any files or folders. By selecting the upload file option on the ftp link, you can upload the file without logging in.

1. It effects all charts. A new report with one row will freeze when adding it to an axis.

Hello Rob,
I investigated the problem, and it appears to be a database connection issue. You can use the link I've provided below to troubleshoot your database connection. Please take a look at that once and let me know if it solves your problem.

Hi Yamini,
I've checked the Database connection and there aren't any issues there.
In the link you sent, there doesn't seem to be anything relating to the problem we're having.
When loading a chart report, according to DevTools, there is a "POST <link> 500" error which would make us think there's an issue on the server, not a database. When we take a look at the "Request URL" we can see it's performing the "REQUESTTOKEN" twice in the parameter, instead of once like everywhere else. I don't think this is an issue with the database.
Many thanks,
Rob

Hello Rob,

I just want to let you know that when charts are generated, temporary disk space is used to draw the chart, and then it is passed to the browser. Could you please check the drive where Yellowfin is installed and make sure you have enough available space.
I also want to know when this problem started. Have you made any modifications?

Hi Yamini,
I can confirm there is at least 80GB free and there have been no modifications made.
It was working completely fine, then out of the blue, it will stop loading charts.
Before I have got around this with other customers (as this isn't the first time this has happened) by recreated the entire instance from scratch with a new YF, but I don't want this to keep happening especially as a customer has already started working on it.
Many thanks,
Rob

Hello Rob,
I want to inform you that after further study, all I could find were connectivity issues. Try logging in as a different user to see if the problem is user-specific.
We've discovered that the following steps are typically the best place to start-
Not having enough space on the local hard drive. Charts are created on temporary storage space and then sent to the browser when they are made. Make sure you have enough space on the drive where Yellowfin is installed by checking. I need a screenshot of the df -dh command, please.
The temporary folder used by the application server cannot be accessed or is missing. You just need to ensure the temporary folder is there and accessible by the user used to run the Yellowfin service.
You can also try-
-Changing dashboard loading to sequential. See attached screenshot. This will ensure that each report loads one after the other and there is always a connection available.
-Increasing the data source max connections to 10. The default is 5.
Furthermore, I need you to send me the yfx file with ski team or yfx with the data source you are using so that I can test it in our system and report the findings to you.

In addition to my prior post, I also want you to set the row limit in the report settings and then see whether the problem persists.
Admin console-->data sources-->usage parameter
For additional analysis, I would also need info.threads.

Hi Yamini,
I've made all those changes and I'm still getting a POST 500 error when loading a chart.
The screenshot of the command I have sent through FTP as well.
Could you tell me where I can find the info.threads file as I'm having a bit of trouble finding it.

Hello Rob,
I appreciate you joining the call; it was pleasant talking with you.
Could you kindly uninstalled openjdk-8-jre-headless and install the full package of openjdk-8-jre as I advised during the call?
Note: 1. Stop the running tomcat server
2. Install the full package open jdk jre
3. Now start the tomcat server
4. Login to yellowfin
Let me know how it goes after doing this.
