I have been using the Dashboard URL for some time now at a client with no problems. All of the sudden, something started happening that I am having trouble reproducing. I am essentially relying on SSO to authenticate the user, so I do not have the need to pass the username/password through the query string. All I am passing is this:
http://foobar/analytics/saw.dll?PortalPages&PortalPath=/shared/Real Estate Reporting/_portal/REPORTS: Financial Reporting UAT/&Page=DR - 3&Action=Navigate
All of the sudden, I started noticing an error: Path not found: /shared/Reporting Samples/_portal/Exective Dashboard/blah/blah
I do not understand why the Dashboard URL is trying to traverse down the path above when it has nothing in the link referencing Reporting Samples or Executive Dashboard. Another quirk is if I navigate through the UI to the correct dashboard and then try and use the Dashboard URL, it will navigate to it just fine. Once I am able to get the Dashboard URL to work properly, it works for about 1 day, and then when I come into work in the morning, I get the Path not found error again.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Again, it is completely random, and I wish I had more information on reproducing this issue, but I am having trouble pin pointing the problem.
Thanks.
