Performance Point 2010  Dash-Board Designer Error:"An Unexpected system error has occurred .Additional Details have been logged for your administrator"


After you setup Performance Point services in your SharePoint 2010 Environment you might get the following error when creating  a new data source using the Dashboard Designer:
"An Unexpected system error has occurred .Additional Details have been logged for your administrator"

The common issue with this problem is the Service account that runs Performance Point services needs access to the Content database. To resolve this issue follow these steps:


  • Open the Management Shell
  • Type
    •  get-spwebapplication -identity http://yourportallink
    • $w=get-spwebapplication -identity http://yourPortalLink
    • $w.GrantacccessToProcessIdentity(" Your Service Account")
  • This should give the service account access to the content database and the error should be resolved
