Problem Note 34671: The Administrator might receive a "NosystemDefXML or davLocationXML was specified on the request..." notification
 |  |  |  |  |
The SAS® Financial Management Administrator might receive multiple e-mail notifications when users create or access reports or Data-Entry forms in Microsoft Excel 2007.
This has also been reported in one instance where the customer was using Excel 2003 and was operating in an AIX/WebSphere environment.
The content of the e-mails might resemble the following:
No systemDefXML or davLocationXML was specified on the request or session
context.
javax.servlet.ServletException: No systemDefXML or davLocationXML was specified
on the request or session context.

Although the message itself is harmless, the fact that multiple e-mails might be received is often annoying to the recipient. This issue has been addressed by the attached hot fix, but it can also be circumvented by creating a filter in the e-mail program to direct e-mails with content similar to
No systemDefXML or davLocationXML was specified on the request or session context.to the trash or other folder.
