Hi. Did you solve this issue? I am having the same problem

[RotimiDada]

@fino0000, I got it fixed by installing the latest version of Ariba - 2.14.6 (I am not sure if there is a more recent version now. I experienced the bug about 2 years ago). One of our IT guys suggested that I could get it fixed this way. By the way, are you using Ariba version 2.14.4? That's the version that produced the bug then. Cheers!
