You are in: IBM i Technology Updates  > Performance on the Web > Performance Data Investigator Troubleshooting ...

Specific Errors:
General Problem-Solving Tips:
Authority Issues:

No Collections shown
You see "None" in the Collection Name field when you expect to see a list of valid collections.
Empty Collection List

"Error" where Investigate Data tree is expected
Investigate Data tree just shows "Error"
This can be caused by clicking the Investigate Data link before the internal tree is populated.  If you try to open the Investigate Data tree too quickly after logging in to IBM Navigator for i, the data won't be available so "Error" will result.
Click the Reload button:  
Reload PDI tree
But wait until Welcome panel is fully loaded:
Welcome
Another option is to Select Investigate Data to have the tree open on the right panel:
Investigate Data
If this still doesn't work, you can circumvent by logging out and logging back in:
Logout
Then, wait for Welcome panel before clicking to open the Investigate Data tree.

If you get any text that is showing "RESOURCEMISSING" where a label or other text is expected, it may be that your browser cache did not get cleared since applying the last new PTFs.
Stop and restart the ADMIN1 server to fix this (something happened with the stop and restart when applying the PTFs):
 > ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*IAS) INSTANCE(ADMIN1)
> STRTCPSVR SERVER(*IAS) INSTANCE(ADMIN1)
