Issue with Save As button

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are on NW2004s SP15. I have a BI iView that runs on the BI Portal. The report runs absolutely fine, but the problem is, when I click on the "SAVE AS" button and then select the "Bex Portfolio" tab, give the description and click on OK, the report it throws the following error:

This error is shown in the new window that appears in which I select the "Bex Portfolio" tab.

The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:

java.lang.NullPointerException

After that when I close the error window, I get the following error:

ERROR: The BEx Web application does not exist; the error that occurred has been logged with ID "02000000000400660000005A00005CCA0004585F74E62B4F".

I cant even get back to the report.

Has anyone faced this problem before? Please suggest what needs to be configured.

I hope you are talking about Save As button which you must have added in your web template? If yes, did you try to save it in your Portal Favorite rather than BEx Posrtfolio?

Hi Kamaljeet,

How do I do that (Adding it to portal favourite)? Please help.

When you are clicking on Save As button on report, be default it ask you to save report in portal favourite. Can you see that option?

Hi Kamaljeet,

Yes I can see the "Favourite" option but when I fill up the value and click on Save As, it throws me this error:

Also, when I close this window, I get this error:

Any help will be appreciated.
