Cognos 10 and Control-M Scheduling

Hi guys, I wasn't sure where to stick this, so I'm putting it here.

We use BMC's Control-M Enterprise Manager for scheduling our Cognos jobs, as it permits very complex interdependancies to be created between Cognos and other outside jobs (ETL, data replication, etc).

However, we have been running into a problem when we try to populate a Control-M schedule with a Cognos job which contains a particular report.  It is very strange, and we have not yet been able to determine what is causing it, but when the Control-M software starts to load the job, and when it gets to the aberrant report, the loading fails.  When we remove the report from within the Cognos job, it loads into Control-M successfully and we are able to proceed with scheduling the job.

Does anyone else use Control-M?  Have you seen this problem?  More importantly, have you been able to fix it?

(We are on Cognos 10.2.2, I don't know the version of Control-M, but will find out if that is important).

Thanks,

Gordon
