Re: GetCommonManager error

I am passing the user name parameter correctly. I have tested this in my VM and it works as it should so I'm guessing there is something in the environment that is stopping this from working?

I use this method in addition to the GetUserProfileByName, and I find that it works exactly the same way. It accepts the same parameter - userName() - and returns a subset of the same type of data, but it returns that data for the user's manager, which is cool. Are you passing the correct parameter?

GetCommonManager error

Hi,

I'm calling the 'GetCommonManager' method but when I preview the form I get the following error:

The query cannot be run for the following DataObject: GetCommonManager
InfoPath cannot run the specified query.
The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:

Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I've done a bit of searching around and there are people with similar errors but not exactly like this one. Does anyone have any idea what it could be or where I should be looking to try to figure it out?

I have also done some testing after reading other forums. I tested to make sure that the 'getuserprofilebyname' method is working. Which it is. I also tested to make sure I could call the user's manager using the 'getuserprofilebyname' method and I could.

Thanks.
