I'm getting an error with the Cisco Smart connector that seems different than the ones in the other threads. I have 265 nodes to process. It gets to the end, and then I get an error:
cisco smart advisor query failed, check fault information hexadecimal value 0x03, is an invalid character
Then i can only 'retry' 'edit' or 'cancel'. No report is saved at all. I've tried 3 times and always get this same error.
The log file shows:
