Description

Hi Team,
We are using Couch db v 3.2.2. While trying to access a db view through automation, we are getting the below error
Error: normal. Reason: {gen_server,call,[<0.24064.2493>, {pread_iolist,327789}
The actual error looks like this:
**Error at http://host:5984/execonfig/_design/execonfig/_view/by_applicationName?key=%5B%22INU_UI%22,%22POC%22%5D. Error: normal. Reason: {gen_server,call,[<0.24064.2493>, {pread_iolist,327789}
,infinity]}.**
However, if we try to access that url separately from browser, we are able to get response.
Please let us know what is the cause of this error and how to avoid this.
Regards,
Rumki
