I see errors like XConnect Exception Filter OnException(), url - "https://xconnect/refdata/definitiontype/ensure" in the xconnect log files. What is causing those errors and does it mean something is configured wrong?

These can be seen after opening the home page of the Storefront.

  • This is a hard one to trace down. But Sitecore is requesting a filter in an xConnect query and that filter is breaking on xConnect. It returns these unreadable messages. But the underlying query has a filter that is bad. Like running into a null or something like that. I had contacts with no identifiers and saw errors just like this when those contact where included in my query.

I've contacted Sitecore Support and below is their response:

The mentioned above exception usually happens due to the fact that xConnect has not responded within 5 seconds. So I believe it happened due to xConnect has been restarting and its nothing to worry about.

In case the exception occurs not only once after xConnect start please check whether app pool user has required access rights.. For example, please refer to the following article: https://blog.wenstor.com/2015/05/cess-to-registry-key-global-is-denied-in-sitecore.html Could you please check if providing access to the app pool user fixes the errors?

  • Did this fix the XConnect Exception Filter OnException() error? I did also get an error about access to the registry key 'Global', which the linked article fixes, but I'm still getting the original error.

  • No I didn't make any changes as the response of Sitecore Support is stating that it can happen when xConnect is starting and its nothing to worry about.
