FBE60203 An exception was caught while scheduling the pub

Publications with Crystal reports and dynamic recipients running on BO XI R3.1 SP4.

The following exception happens periodically for scheduled publication and a manually run now for the same instance is always successful. It only happens once a week or biweekly for one random publication compared to hundreds of publications running daily which are successful.

The recurrence page on CMC shows correct run schedules - either daily, weekly or monthly.

Had filed incident with SAP. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

We have the same issue. Have you received a resolution for this from SAP (or anyone else)?

Thanks,
Brian

Any response from SAP on this? We are getting a similar issue:

2019-01-08 15:39:58,930 ERROR [PublishingService:HandlerPool-32] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminLog_Instance_74413112 - [Publication ID # 74413112] - An exception was caught while scheduling the publication. (FBE60203)

This happens quite regularly but seems to be random as to which publication gets the error. The publication is immediately rerun and completes successfully.
