KB486966: Troubleshooting 'java.lang.NoSuchMethodException' Error when Selecting 'Limit Element Source' for Dashboards with Multiple Datasets in Workstation

Symptom 

Strategy ONE (June 2024) introduces the option to Limit the Source of Chapter Filter Elements, which enhances performance by allowing users to select a dataset as the source for attribute elements in chapter filters. To enable this setting, follow these steps:

1. Open the Filter panel.
2. Click on "More" at the top of the panel, choose "Limit Element Source," and select a dataset.

Steps to Reproduce in Strategy Tutorial 

1. In Strategy Workstation, connect to any environment prior to the Strategy ONE June 2024 release.
2. Create a Dashboard with two datasets: one with Region and Call Center, and the other with Region and Country. (Filter the region to import Canada and Central while importing.)
3. Create a grid with an element or value filter and add Region as the filter. Choose Grid as the target.
4. For the Selector, click on the three dots and choose "Limit Element Source." Then, select the second dataset.
5. The error message

   'com.Strategy.web.objects.RWManipulationBuilder.setControlDataSourceHandler(com.Strategy.web.objects.RWDelta, com.google.gson.JsonObject, com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectsFactory)' appears.

Cause

This error occurs in environments prior to the Strategy ONE June 2024 release when connected via the latest version of Strategy Workstation. Since this feature is only available starting from the Strategy ONE June 2024 release, any prior versions of environments will encounter this error.
 

Solution

To resolve this issue, upgrade to the latest version of Strategy. By doing so, you will be able to utilize the 'Limit Element Source' feature without encountering the 'java.lang.NoSuchMethodException' error.
