Issue/Introduction

We have just upgraded iDash to 12.0.05.00-0304. Since it was upgraded, the creation of html reports from the command line does not work, and shows the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCellStyle.setAlignment(Lorg/apache/poi/ss/usermodel/HorizontalAlignment;)V at com.ca.idash.cli.report.util.XLSUtil.output(XLSUtil.java:131) at com.ca.idash.cli.report.Report.createXLS(Report.java:308) at com.ca.idash.cli.cmd.idgenxls.GenXLSEventReport.gen(GenXLSEventReport.java:38) at com.ca.idash.cli.cmd.idgenxls.IdGenxls.checkAndRunEventReport(IdGenxls.java:143) at com.ca.idash.cli.cmd.idgenxls.IdGenxls.mainX(IdGenxls.java:55) at com.ca.idash.cli.cmd.idgenxls.IdGenxls.main(IdGenxls.java:29) Running the same reports from the UI does not seem to pose any issues. 

Environment

linux / unix

Resolution

Remove / move the older poi* files from $IDASH_HOME/lib. Just leave the one from the iDash 12.0.05.00-0304 upgrade (poi-3.17.jar). in that directory.
