One of our users created a fairly complex rule that when attempting to save threw a couple of errors in the calculations. In so doing, this user got an error that the client was running in a faulted state and they should restart the client. After they exited the system, I entered Board and attempted to first modify the rule (eliminating the rule elements with an error) and saving the rule.
This seemingly worked, however when I attempted to exit the rules section and review other areas of the database, Board threw an error, and suggested the same "faulted state error". After restarting, I deleted the rule, was able to seemingly save the database section, yet once again, Board threw the same error when attempting to go to another database section.
All of the other database sections and all capsules related to this database are working fine, so it only seems to be happening while interacting with the rules portion of the database. In reviewing the error log, Board reported the following error:
