Hey Webi World.
I have been seeing a number of customers reporting the below error after upgrading to BI 4.1 so I wanted to release a few details to help those that experience this issue.
First of all, I want to say that it is quite early on in the investigation and it appears that there could be a few different causes for this high level error from Webi. This post is more a heads up on the known resolutions and a simple work-around that can be implemented for users that are getting this error on critical reports.
A little background on what Design Time Service is can be read in john.mrozek 's great SCN blog post here: BI 4.1 on BW 7x Performance Improvements
In short, the design time service allows the BICs connector to retrieve metadata about BEx query definition quicker.
In BI 4.0, we didn't use the Design Time (DT) service so certain workflows we're slightly slower, but they worked pretty reliably. In BI 4.1, we are finding that if a failure occurs in the DT function, then the end user is presented with an error and may not be able to continue.
So, if you do see this issue, I would follow the below steps to resolve it:
Hope this helps!
