KB303816: "Cannot read property 'layouts' of undefined" error occurs when selecting > 5000 elements using Financial Reporting

 

Cannot read property 'layout' of undefined

The underlying error message returned by the HTTP response from the web server / web application server will be similar to 

We could not locate a task from the supplied request.

 
CAUSE
When selecting a high number of elements, the maximum size of the HTTP POST request might reach the limit set on the respective web server. As a consequence, the web server does not accept the HTTP request and returns an error message.
 
ACTION
Most Web Servers allow to change this size limitation. Depending on the Web Server used to deploy Strategy Web, the steps may differ. The maxPostSize parameter must be adjusted to allow HTTP Post requests with a large amount of elements to be accepted by the web server.

• Tomcat:

Set the maxPostSize parameter in the Connector to a value less than zero, this will disable the limit. (See https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html and https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/http.html for further information).

• WebLogic:

Set the MaxPostSize parameter to a value less than 0, this means an unlimited size.(https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/adminguide/web_server.html)
