Installation Note 45586: Content must be manually loaded when you choose to manually configure the middle-tier system
When you attempt to validate the SAS® BI Dashboard Web application per the instructions in the Instructions.html file, invocation of application fails at the SAS BI Dashboard viewer and the cursor runs continuously. When this behavior occurs, the SAS BI Dashboard designer opens with an error message similar to the following:
java.lang.NullPointerException : null
If you try to create indicator data at this time, the Data Source list box is empty.
This problem occurs when both of the following are true:
- The Completing Your Deployment section of the Instructions.html file is not completed.
- Content for SAS BI Dashboard is not loaded prior to an attempt to validate SAS BI Dashboard in the SAS Web Applications section of the Instructions.html file.
The Completing Your Deployment section is included in the Instructions.html file when you select manual configuration for SAS Web applications in the SAS® Deployment Wizard.
To correct the problem, complete the Completing Your Deployment section in Instructions.html and load the required content. Then you can validate the SAS BI Dashboard Web application successfully.
