Hello

I try to export a Detailed Device Report to a CSV. It failes:

<H1>HTTP Status 500 - </H1>
<HR SIZE=1 noShade>

type Exception report
message 
description The server encountered an internal error () that
prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Exporting to PDF works OK.

CW is running on Windows server. RME is 4.3.1

Can anyone help?

IE 8.0 is not yet a supported browser. Try with IE 7.0 or Firefox 3.

This could be a problem with your JSP cache. Shutdown Daemon Manager, then delete all files and directories under NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost. Then restart Daemon Manager, and see if the problem persists.

Thanks for the answer.

I did what you suggested, but unfortunately I got the same error again. :-(

There is a potential bug in the code in this area, but I cannot reproduce the problem. How many devices are you exporting? What type of devices are they?

Eydfinnur Mortensen · ‎04-19-2010

It's only one device.

Here's from Show version:

Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500e-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(53)SG1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

cisco WS-C4510R-E (MPC8548) processor (revision 6) with 524288K bytes of memory.

For a test I tried with a WS-C2960-8TC-L and it gave same result.

Joe Clarke · ‎04-19-2010

What browser and version are you using?

Eydfinnur Mortensen · ‎04-19-2010

Internet Explorer 8

Version 8.0.6001.18702
Krypt. 128-bit

I've just tried to install Firefox 3.6 on the server. With this it works OK.

Problem is, I cant install it on my worstation. Company restrictions.

IE 8.0 is not yet a supported browser. Try with IE 7.0 or Firefox 3.

Thank you for the answer. I must see what my IT-department can come up with.

Just tried another IE:

I have the possibility to log in to Cisco Works via Citrix. Here is IE version 7.0.5730.13 used to open Cisco Works.
It gives the same error.

Hi community,

I have Ciscoworks LMS 4.0.1 and I have the same problem.

According the documentation IE 8 is supported.

(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.0/install/guide/instl.html#wp1585158)

Is there another issue then. Can you help to resolve the exception for CSV export? Is there a log for apache or tomcat to see?

thank you

Fabrizio
