bad desktop exception in the error logs

[javed_shaikh]

Hi, we have implemented a custom theme and it looks to be running fine but off-late I am getting the following exception in huge numbers in my prod portal environment. I am not sure why this started occurring as there was no change or upgrade recently. The users are able to access the portal nicely. But I suspect that there is something going wrong which needs a quick fix. I checked note :

1767444 - Can’t access portal as assigned desktop is corrupt

but this is not relevant in the current context. There is a custom masthead which is attached to the framework page, hope that is not causing the issue, it works fine for dev, test and pre-prod and is used since 4 years.

following is the detailed error log.

com.sap.portal.desktop.BadDesktopException: Could not get desktop with URL

Hi

As you mentioned that you have custom masthead, can you please check how is the issue with SAP provided desktop (without customization).

Also since when have you started facing this issue ? Did you do any EP upgrade ?
