Issue/Introduction

How the OOTB url address could be malformed? 

This is the error from bg-ca.log.

ERROR [Dispatch [Export to CSV Job [[xxx] : xxx tenant=clarity)] niku.njs (clarity::xxx:[no: å Export to CSV Job... () Error executing job: 6400089

java.lang.Exception: Export Job Failed: Malformed resourceUrl. resourceUrl should contain fields.

                at com.niku.njs.listeners.CSVExportJobListener.scheduledEventFired(CSVExportJobListener.java:335)

Environment

Clarity 16.1.1

Resolution

There are few of possibilities where Malformed resourceURL messages can appear in the application log.

In this scenario export to CSV functionality job failed. By design the Export to CSV feature takes the API endpoint and uses its filters and passes them on to the Export to CSV job if there are more than 500 records to process. 

To investigate further additional context can be provided over a Broadcom support case:

1. Occurrences of the error in application log
2. Is the exception found for only one user
3. Is it affecting a specific object instance
4. If the issue can be replicated then please capture the filters that are being passed on to the export job, the browser trace (HAR) file
