Analysis fails with "invalid logs" and "starting time falls after ending time"

Webtrends Analytics 8.1x

Introduction/Situation:
Profiles randomly fail to analyze and an error appears in the statuslogs about invalid logfiles. We know the logs are good as other profiles analyze the same data sources just fine. Failures appear random, but once a profile fails with this error, all successive analysis attempts also fail. A second error message further down the statuslog indicates that the profile startingtime falls after the ending time. A copy of the profile also fails. Process/Solution This situation is due to a faulty analyzeprofile.vbs file. Upgrade to the current version of Webtrends (8.5 or later) to correct this issue.
