Issue/Introduction

Created a report in CABI and that report is erroring out with the following error in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp\webapps\cabijs\WEB-INF\logs\jasperserver.log file:

Environment

Release : 20.4
Component: cabi 8.0

OS: linux and windows

Cause

path to ../phantomjs.exe is not correct in the following files:

..\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp\webapps\cabijs\WEB-INF\js.config.properties
..\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp\webapps\cabijs\WEB-INF\classes\jasperreports.properties

Resolution

This can happen if the installation of UIM was not to a default location. Update 

..\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp\webapps\cabijs\WEB-INF\js.config.properties
..\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp\webapps\cabijs\WEB-INF\classes\jasperreports.properties

with the correct path to ../phantomjs.exe

 

example:

phantomjs.binary=C\:\\Nimsoft\\probes\\service\\wasp/webapps/cabijs/WEB-INF/phantomjs-2.1.1/bin/phantomjs.exe

to

phantomjs.binary=F\:\\Nimsoft\\probes\\service\\wasp/webapps/cabijs/WEB-INF/phantomjs-2.1.1/bin/phantomjs.exe

Then restart the Cabi robot
