Exceptions/errors in reportengine.log

• ORA-00904: "LASTMODIFIEDTIMESTAMP": invalid identifier

  Verify the database configuration of BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management server registered with the reporting engine using the command:

  bppmr_config.bat register -list from %BMC_PROACTIVENET_REPORTENGINE_HOME%/ReportEngine/bin/reportsCLI/ directory
• java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
  • Make sure that the Pentaho logging is set to Minimal in the following property:
    reportengine.pentaho.logging.level=MINIMAL
    
    Do not set the logging level to either Detailed, Debug, or RowLevel logging because it can have implication on memory consumption of the reporting engine. Perform changes with caution for specified time or scenario while simulating a support issue.
    • Error: Only show errors
    • Nothing: Does not show any output
    • Minimal: Uses minimal logging
    • Basic: This is the default basic logging level
    • Detailed: Provides detailed logging output
    • Debug: For debugging purposes, very detailed output.
    • Rowlevel: Logging at the row level, this can generate a lot of data.
  • Tune Heap memory parameters for the report engine as per BMC recommendations.
• Unable to fill pool org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException
   Can be caused due to process crunch allocated for database. Check that enough processes are allocated to the database (default is 150). If the database reaches this count, increase the value.
