Up until last week, my CE9 on NT environment was fine.
Nothing has changed on the server, other than the modification and republishing of report objects.
However, in the past couple of days, the CE environment seems to have become possessed. The following are the main issues I'm currently dealing with, on an unclustered standalone machine:
- Reports scheduled to pdf have their chart grids sporadically appear with hairline gridlines and then 2.5-3pt lines. Each time you schedule, it's a gamble which one you're going to get. (This has nothing to do with the fact that there are two job servers running on the server, as I have already troubleshot this aspect.)
- Some reports when scheduled from ePortfolio default to Hourly instead of Now, and when you change them back to Now, and schedule they sit in the Pending status indefinitely. These are the reports affected by the previous issue too.
- Crosstabs which appear fine in CR appear with cell data overlaying crosstab grid lines, making all subseqeuent rows data out of sync with their cells.
- Randomly disappearing crosstab grids.
- Logging onto ePortfolio with the Administrator account returns an overflow error. (fixed)
- Hitting some tabs in CMC returns transport/communication errors. (fixed)
The SP on the box is the latest, as is the monthly hotfix. This is the only change to the production env, which occured after the problems started occuring.
I have a dev environment which was not up to date with the production environment, but didn't share any of the aforementioned anomalies. I did an import using the import wizard to the dev env, and found the issues seem to have traveled across from the production environment.
So, I'm sure you know what the question is by now, but I'm going to go ahead and ask it anyway: The question is; what in the hell is a'going on around here?
