Folks,

We're having a lot of issues with reporting mechanisms crashing the whole server. For example, I ran a custom Enrollment report to try and get a list of all students in classes for this year, and got the error below.

I tried to limit the scope to a single term, but this reproduced the error, at which point the server crashed entirely, necessitating a reset. Normally this would be fine, but with COVID and working from home, there isn't always someone available in the office to reset.

We have had similar errors before, but not for a while now.

Thanks!
