SystemLink Analysis Task Error When Opening Session for DataFinder

Issue Details

• On my SystemLink Server, I have configured an Analysis Automation Procedure (ANP) in Jupyter. However, when I run my Analysis Task, I receive an error stating that it cannot open a session to my DataFinder Instance. 
• When I run my Jupyter Analysis Automation Task, I receive the below error. How can I fix this?

Error when opening session for DataFinder '<DataFinder Instance Name>': BadRequest - {"reason":"EXCEPTION: CORBA::SystemException (BAD_PARAM)"}

Solution

This error occurs when the Analysis Automation Task is unable to connect to the DataFinder Instance either because the Instance is not running, or the name of the Instance is incorrect.

To resolve this error, follow the steps below:

1. Ensure that the DataFinder Instance is running.
   1. Within the SystemLink UI, navigate to Data Administration >> Data Indexing.
   2. For the desired DataFinder Instance, ensure that the Status column does not state Stopped.
   3. If the status is Stopped, click the cog icon next to the DataFinder Instance and select Start.
   4. Once the DataFinder has started, re-run the Analysis Automation Task.
2. Ensure that the name of the DataFinder Instance is correct.
   1. Within the SystemLink UI, navigate to Measurement Data Analysis >> Analysis Automation.
   2. Select the Tasks tab.
   3. Select either the Manual Tasks, Triggered Tasks or Scheduled Tasks tab, depending on which type of Task you have configured.
   4. Click the cog icon next to your Task and select Edit.
   5. In the pop-up window, ensure that Data Source refers to a valid DataFinder Instance.
      • If you have recently renamed the DataFinder Instance, this information may be outdated.
      • A valid name takes the format <DataFinder Instance Name>@<SystemLink Server Name>.
