HTML report output is not well formed

Troubleshooting


Problem

When using paramertized URLs getting the error HTML report output is not well formed

Cause

The URL is not properly encoded

Resolving The Problem

This error is most likely caused by the URL not encoded properly. For example this URL will cause the error:


http://servername:9300/bi/v1/disp?b_action=dashboard&pathinfo=/pagelet&path=storeID(%22storeid%22)&frag-header=false

Where this properly encoded URL will succeed:

http://servername:9300/bi/v1/disp?b_action%3Ddashboard%26pathinfo%3D%2Fpagelet%26path%3DstoreID(%2522storeid%2522)%26frag-header%3Dfalse

Make sure the URL is encoded after this portion of the link:

http://servername:9300/bi/v1/disp?b_action
