Problem Note 69023: IPC connection errors occur when you use drill-down, recalculate, or save functions in certain worksheets
 |  |  |  |
In SAS® Merchandise Planning, you might experience IPC connection errors when executing certain functions inside a worksheet. These functions include the following:
- Drilling down on or expanding the Time dimension
- Auto-recalculating after an edit of a Working Plan key performance indicator (KPI)
- Recalculating a task or worksheet
- Saving or submitting
If you review the peinst_#######_####_pe.log for the worksheet that had the IPC connection error, the last lines are similar to the following:
