"Collection is empty" Error Message

Phil Bangert — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 12:54:41 GMT

For the past two days, I have had an issue with SIM 5.0 SP4, where no one is able to see any systems. When I click on All Systems or any of the other predefined collections, I get the above error message. When I click on System Overview, I am able to see the server count. If I click on All Events, I am able to see the events so it seems like the database connection is working.

We also have a web application that pulls information from the SIM database that is working just fine.

Any ideas on what may be causing this issue?

I have been getting the same problem for the last week. Installed SP5, but that didn't help.

Any info on what might be causing this?

Did anyone find a solution to this?Maybe it is the new ms security patches?

Check if the authorizations are defined correctly for the signed in user.

Same issue here - and no sollution!

Called HP-Service in Germany. They said the problem is known but they have no workaround.

This is not acceptable! Please Help!

Now I have the same problem with HPSIM 5 Update 2. I can't add any device.
Thats what the logs shows:

The solution can't be to start a new installation!

I have this issue occasionally and restarting the HPSIM services clears this up.
I set up a scheduled task to daily run the HPSIM restart command to free up memory right before the data collection runs. Haven't had the problem since.
