Symptoms

Deleting tables via Sites Explorer fails in 11.1.1.8.0.

When the issue occurs, no error is reported in Sites Explorer, but only a dialog with no message is shown. However at the same time, on the server side, sites.log reports the following error.

 Steps to reproduce:

1. connect to the WCS server via Sites Explorer with SiteGod user (e.g. ContentServer)
2. From navigation tree, choose a table which you want to delete
3. right click on it, and choose [Delete]->[Table]
4. click [Yes] in the "Drop Table" dialog
   --> "Result" dialog is shown with no message (blank), but the target table still remains in the server.
   --> Also, the error described above reported in sites.log
