[SOLVED] Developer Studio - Failed to Load Master List
I've upgrading from WF8.0.0.4. to WF 8.0.0.7

I have a strange behavior. From the developer studio if I want to create a chart I choose Master data, for example in CAR ibisamp folder, appear to open but return the following error: An unrecoverable error has occurred. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If I click the exit button on this error message the tool closes. If I click In more information button i've this information:


Code: 1021 Type: xFDMinit
Failed to Load Master List

Code: 1021 Type: xFDMinit
An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the element content of the document.

Code: -1 Type: xFDMinit
An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the element content of the document.

If I create the chart from the BIP in content folder, I get no error. Access the report right click, choose open with Info Assist and the report opens without error. Even if the developer choose to open the same, I get no error.

If I copy the same .Fex into ibisamp folder and try to open it with the developer studio, info assists while trying to open I get the same error.

What could have happened?
Thanks

Hi dr.herojos,

This error message can be caused by a number of things. I'll mention the two most common here.

First (this assumes that you're using Tomcat with Windows which may not be the case):
1. Stop Apache Tomcat
2. Navigate to your Tomcat folder in Windows Explorer (For a default install - C:\ibi\tomcat\)
3. Delete the entire folder with the name 'work'
4. Restart Apache Tomcat from your services menu

If this doesn't apply in your environment or doesn't resolve the issue, then there’s probably a single offending Master file. Make a copy of your edasprof.prf file, and then totally clear the app path except for ibisamp and baseapp.

If this fixes the problem, you will need to re-add the app folders to the path 1 by 1 and re-test until you find which app folder causes the problem.

Then, once you know which app folder is creating the issue, you can inspect the individual Master files in that folder and figure out which ones needs fixing.

If neither of the above resolve the issue, please open a case on InfoResponse Online so that we can work with you on this issue.

Thanks and regards,

Kathryn

Hi dr.herojos,
Try to shorten the name of the master file.
Also check if there is any master file that exceeds the character limitation for the name.
Is it the specific master file or does this error occur for any master file?

Thanks to all, the problem was a corrupt MFD. I deleted the MAS wrong and everything works fine again.

Hi dr.herojos,

What is the meaning of MFD?. I am also facing the same issue and not able to rectify it.

MFD = Master File Definition

Try dr.h solution by deleting your MAS file and create it back again.
