SPEndpointAddressNotFoundException error in Dashboard Designer

 

When using PerformancePoint Designer in SharePoint 2010 and trying to add a new item say a SQL Server connection you might get the error 'An Unexpected Error Occured. An error has been logged for the Administrator'

If you check the Event log on your client machine you should find a more detailed but equally cryptic error.

An unexpected error occurred. Error 15568.

Exception details:

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEndpointAddressNotFoundException: There are no addresses available for this application.

at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoundRobinServiceLoadBalancer.BeginOperation()

at Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.BIMonitoringServiceApplicationProxy.GetBalancerContext()

at Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.BIMonitoringServiceApplicationProxy.ExecuteOnChannel(CodeBlock codeBlock)

 

First check in Central Administration check you have a PerformancePoint Services application created.

My problem was that although the services application was created the service instance itself was not running. Goto Central Admin - System Settings - Manage Services on Server and make sure the PerformancePoint service is started or start it youself.

Why you are not given the option in the Services App to do this automatically is a mystery to me.

SPMetal doesn't like spaces

 

Currently when generating a class with SPMetal from a site that has spaces in it

SPMetal.exe  /web:"http://flxdev2010:19000/PWA/Test Plan" /namespace:ProjectSite /code:ProjectSite.cs

It will give

Error the web at 'http://flxdev2010:19000/PWA/Test Plan' could not be found

Oh dear, a schoolboy error.

Now you could use stsadm to dump out the site, delete and reimport, yikes. Or you can just rename the Url as ServerRelativeUrl is read/write (any outside links point to the Url will not be fixed up!)

Using a quick console app


            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://flxdev2010:19000/PWA/Test Plan"))

            using( SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

            {
               string s = web.ServerRelativeUrl;
               web.ServerRelativeUrl = "/PWA/TestPlan";
               web.Update();

            }

or that new fangled 4 year old PowerShell thingy

Start-SPAssignment -Global

$web = Get-SPWeb "http://flxdev2010:19000/PWA/Test Plan"
$web.Title = "/PWA/TestPlan"
$web.Update()
Stop-SPAssignment -Global

SPMetal.exe  /web:"http://flxdev2010:19000/PWA/TestPlan" /namespace:ProjectSite /code:ProjectSite.cs

now works.

you can change it back once you have the definition.
