After you save a SAS Visual Analytics report, you see the following error message:

After the error message appears, your report might also become corrupted.

This issue can occur after you move data tip values for report objects.

For example, suppose that you have a report that contains a geo coordinate report object. The report object also contains some data items as data tip values. You then move one data tip value to the top of the Data tip values list. After you save the report, the error occurs, as shown here:

Also, when you open the report.xml file by pressing Ctrl+Alt+B, you might see some error messages that indicate that your report is corrupted.

As a workaround, if this problem occurs, replace the corrupted report with a backup copy of the report and do not move the data tip values from their positions in the Data tip values list.
