Cognos Trigger: Failed to Fire Trigger ????

Hi,

I am trying to set up a trigger, but having issues.

The syntax I have when running from a command prompt is:

cd C:\"Program Files"\cognos\c8\webapps\utilities\trigger\

trigger.bat http://localhost:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch trigger trigger "Default" trigger1

For this example, the username=trigger, the password=trigger, the namespace ID=Default, Namespace Name=Default, trigger name=trigger1

User Trigger is an Administrator and has is part of the System Administrator Cognos Connection role, with full permissions.

When I run this, I get FAILED TO FILER TRIGGER TRIGGER1.

Anyone any idea what I may be missing?  I've tried putting username, password and trigger name in double-quotes, but no difference

I have also checked the settings in the system.xml file, the trigger settings are enabled.
<param name="enable-trigger-support">true</param>
<!-- show/hide the schedule dialog's trigger tab -->
<param name="enable-trigger-tab">true</param>

I believe your namespace ID is the problem.

To get the appropriate Namespace ID Cognos is looking for:

  • Go into Cognos Administration, and on the security tab, navigate to the namespace. 
  • Go into that namespace's properties, and note the ID in the upper left portion of the properties screen.

Other way to get Namespace is to go into Cognos Config on an App server
