When users are trying to execute some reports in MicroStrategy web in particular, they may receive the Error “SQL Generation Complete Index out of range” and “Timeout expired” error as shown below:


Possible Causes:
One possible cause is that the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server using a cached database connection that was already dropped by the RDBMS.

To resolve this:

Admin should delete the database connection caches and create a new DSNs in case they are sharing DSNs to connect to different databases. In addition, change the settings for the ‘Connection lifetime’ and the ‘Connection idle time out’. 

Follow the steps below to perform the mentioned changes and verify the report after each step and some of the settings require i-server restarts:
  • Go to Administration > System Monitors > Database Connections, and remove all the Database connection caches.
  • In MicroStrategy Desktop, go to Administration > Configuration Managers > Database Instances > Open the Database Instance that is getting the error.
  • Under the General tab, go to Database connection > Select the connection > click on ‘Modify’ > In the Database Connections window > Go to the Advanced tab > under Connection Caching > Set ‘connection lifetime’ and the ‘connection idle time out’ to 0 (zero) seconds.
  • Restart MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.

Microstrategy Report Services documents and dashboards

Microstrategy Report Services documents vs Dashboards A MicroStrategy Report Services document displays data coming from multiple reports, with the data laid out and designed in presentation-quality format. Most data on a document is from one or more underlying datasets. A dataset is a standard MicroStrategy report. Other document components that do not originate from the dataset, such as static text used for a title or heading, page numbers, and images, are added by the document's designer and are stored in the document's definition. A Report Services (RS) dashboard is a special type of document. An RS dashboard is commonly only one page long, is intended to be viewed online, and usually provides interactive features that let analysts change how they view the dashboard’s data, as well as what data they are viewing. A broad selection of widgets and a wide variety of formatting options allow you to design a customized, interactive dashboard. Both documents and RS dashb...
