Assertion error in report

Question

State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46036] Internal Assertion: Condition !pConjunct->IsAndCond(), file server/Query/Optimizer/Request/Src/SQORToCNF.cpp, line 46
What could be the source for this error, or where can I look for it ?
thanks

Hi RIshabh,
I found something on siebel support web:
The reason for the assertion error is due to problems in converting complex filters so that they can be compared to what is in cache. The report should be a cache hit, but because of the conversion error, the filter of the report does not match the filter of the cached report. This causes the assertion error.
The error is only seen when there is a cache entry. If cache is not populated, there is no need for conversion and comparison. Hence there is no assertion.
The problem occurs when the number of OR clauses gets too great. Internally, SA needs to convert filters in order to match queries to cache entries. At a certain point, the conversion breaks. Then, the filter of a query that should be a cache hit no longer matches the filter of a similar cache entry. The result is the assertion error.
This error will not occur if cache is turned off. This error only occurs when cache is already populated. A query will run the first time, but subsequent runs will throw the assertion.
Hopefully this makes sense.
