April CTP Crashes HPC CLuster Manager

Question
-
Hi
When I try and go to Charts and reports it crashes the manager, and when I start it up it remembers where it was previously ..... which means it crashes again, you have to change the page before it can fully initialise. This was also a problem with the March CTP.
is any one else seeing this

Thanks for reporting the issues. And special thanks to Alex who provided us with crash dump.
We have found the issue was that we handled certain date format incorrectly. We're working on a fix for this problem and it should be included in our upcoming releases.
For the time being, unfortunately you have to change your date format for reporting to work. Here are the steps:
1. Go to Regional and Language Option dialog in the control panel
2. Change the current format in the Format tab to "English (United States)" and click OK.
Thank you!

Thanks for the bug report. I've brought it up with Dev and will try to get back to you here later this week if we need more details.
Thanks,

We did experience a similar bug at one point. Dev had a few follow-up qusetions to see if this was the same issue:
l Can this consistently repro?
l Does that page being opened belong to Charting or Reporting? (What's highlighted in the Nav Pane Tree?)
l Does this only happen for the first time user opens “Chart and Report” wunderbar? Or everytime you navigate back?
Thanks,
Josh

We also have exactly the same problem. Any reports crash Cluster Manager when clicked.
The worst thing is, it'll crash cluster manager again next time because it remember the last selected option.

We'd like to get some logfiles from you to help figure it out.
Can you guys run the following PS script on the HN and then zip and e-mail me (jbarnard at microsoft dot com) the resulting output folder? If you don't want to provide all of the info, we'd at least like to get all of the logfiles from %CCP_DATA%\Logfiles
Code Snippet#Some location information
$OutputDirName = "ClusterConfig"
$NetworkInfoFile = "$OutputDirName\NetworkInfo.txt"
$NodeInfoFile = "$OutputDirName\NodeInfo.txt"
$LogDir = "$OutputDirName\Logs"#Create a directory in which to stash everything
Echo "Creating directories . . ."
New-Item -name $OutputDirName -ItemType directory#Get system information
"Getting system info . . ."
msinfo32 /report "$OutputDirName\SysInfo.txt"#Dump the Network Information to a File

Thanks for sending us the files. We'd like to have a bit more detail with the events. Could you please send some additional info?
Please do the following:
1. Open your Event Viewer.
2. Right click on the System event category and click on Save As option
3. Save the event log in the default event log format
4. Do the same for "Application" and "Windows HPC Server" categories.
Please send this via email (christc at microsoft dot com)
Thanks,
Christina

I have exactly the same problem here.
Problem was also reproducable when I installed the cluster management tools on an XP workstation.
Initally the first 3 charts and reports could be examined, but as soon as I clicked on "Job Turnaround" the management interface crashed.
As you say when I restart it remembers where I was and crashes again.
One way around this I have found is to relaunch the "HPC Cluster Manager" and then VERY QUICKLY click on Node Management or other major group in the bottom left pane, in fact anything but "Charts and Reports". Then you can continue management as before.
Only thing is that now Charts and Reports is completely unavailable.
Not sure if it possible to fix the default view via the registry.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Jon

Thanks to Alex's crush dump, we figured out this issue may have something with OS locale.
Alex and Jon, could you tell me what your head node's locale settings are? Please go to "Regional and Language Options" and check the locale setting.
Thank you,
Christina
