Atlas error "Conversion failed when converting varchar value 'anonymous' to data type int"

I’m getting the title error when trying to do anything with cohorts in Atlas. I think it has to do with the author being listed as ‘anonymous’, but I can’t figure out how to change this without going through the process of setting up authentication - right now that’s turned off, as default. Does anyone know how to change the author name or otherwise fix this issue? Thanks!

We’ll need more information: can you find that exception in your log and send us the stack trace so that we can try to understand what query/operation is resulting in this error?

Ok, this seems to be the closest part to the WebAPI code that we can look at, and it’s related to getting the generation list for cohort characterization…looking further up the stack…

So specifically findGenerationsByCcId…which eventually leads to the conversion exception. So, I think we can look at those methods and try to understand what query is being performed, which columns seem to have the wrong data in it, an then try to see what went wrong.

I can find the findGenerationsByCcId method in the WebAPI git but I still can’t see what queries it’s running

It’s using an ORM, so there’s an association between the entity object and the underlying table. The CcGenerationEntity defines the table cc_generation (which may be a view? I can’t recall) but if you could query that table and look for something that might appear to be the value ‘annonymous’ that might give a hint as to which column is leading to the issue.

I actually hadn’t noticed that view, but there’s no ‘anonymous’ there. I’ve checked all the tables in the ohdsi schema, and none of them have ‘anonymous’ anywhere. For tables that have data and a created_by_id, like cohort_characterization, cohort_definition, and analysis_generation_info, the created_by_id is always NULL.

Ok, there’s additional debugging options that can be enabled to output all the ORM (Hibernate) SQL queries that are being executed, and that may point to the specific query being performed that leads to this error. I need to track down some of the devs that are familiar with the configuration.
