"Additional forensics data is not available" error in Websense (Forcepoint) DLP

Sometimes, while DLP is working fine, you can encounter "Additional forensics data is not available" error in the "Forensics" tab of the incident. This means you cannot see the details of the incident.

It has a very simple solution;

1-  Stop the DSSManager service and rename the following folders:

  1. %DSS_HOME%\tomcat\work > work.old
  2. %DSS_HOME%\tomcat\logs > logs.old
  3. %DSS_HOME%\tomcat\temp > temp.old
2- Create a new %DSS_HOME%\tomcat\temp folder and restart the DSSManager service.

Websense says that you should not lose any incident in this scenario, and I have tried a few times, I really did not lose any incident.
