Error description
Issue is affecting Cognos 10.2 and up versions. Symptoms: - Intermittent error QE-DEF-0260 Parsing error. - Package may be using a non-English design language in FM. Some of the languages affected: Chinese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese. - In most cases, the error will affect Event Studio agents. The system will run fine for some time and intermittently a BibusTKServerMain process will be launched in a 'bad state', then all requests (reports) send to that bibus will fail with parsing error QE-DEF-0260. When observing the parsing error you see that the query item name is missing the closing bracket: QE-DEF-0260 Parsing error before or near position: 48 of: "[Sales (query).[Order method.[Order method type"QE-DEF-0261 QFWP - Parsing text: [Sales (query).[Order method.[Order method type Please note that while the problem affects packages with non-English design language, once a Bibus is in a bad state, all reports will fail with the same error. Restarting services or killing all running bibus processes will temporarily resolve the problem.
