Your version is really buggy and was never a 'generally available' supported version!

the product was released with a Patch2.x (5 I think)

Anyway, do you project a favour, and roll out an actively maintained version.   Only SP05 and SP06 are being actively developed.  All over SP2, 3, and 4 have been closed off for new fixes.

Henry is right.

moreover, the JRE is old and unsafe, use Java 7 and uninstall all previous versions

1) This error occur if there is runtime exception thrown from statement inside the constructor or if there is error in static block.

2) Due to this error, instance of a class will not be created

3) So when you tryie to call a method on this instance variable it will throw java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

class AClass{

     public static AClass VARA = new AClass();

     private AClass(){

     ..... throw RuntimeException

     }

     public .. methodA(){

     }

}

class BClass{

     method(){

          VARA.methodA(); ... Will get ExceptionInInitializerError

     }

}

Hi Rishabh,

Check if the error is still there after log off and log in through a fresh new browser to infoview/launchpad?

If above is yes, Check after restarting the CMS and tomcat if the issue still persists

If above two are yes, then check if the issue is consistent with opening of all webi reports in modify mode and if so, then check the compatibility of your browser version/JRE version with BO version of yours.

You can download product availability matrix for your version of BO and see compatible JRE and browser versions.

Thanks
