Details:

error

NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 400

 o report doesn't render on the screen

o no axis

Environment

Release : 20.1

Component : UIM - UMP_REPORTS

Cause

- Network/bandwidth/ISP

Resolution

Checked Performance reports from two different locations/laptops in the UK to access a few PRD reports. No data renders and the y-axis does not refresh/display anything at all.

Portlet DEBUG mode when activated, dumps data to the portal.log but shows no errors/failures/exceptions.

Browser->F12 Developer Tools show all HTTP 200 Status codes/no errors whatsoever. Happens from any browser.

Access to and rendering of the reports worked absolutely fine from the US machines using either US/UK userid/login.

So we knew that the issue had to do with either the UK web/network response/lack of response, firewall-related blocking/filtering or VPN or ISP (BT).


Customer checked with their local resources and found that the reports worked from within the local office.

So this was either a vpn issue or local BT telecom issue. They have suggested that they request a citrix desktop on site to be able to run reports.
