Hi All,

Is Framework Manager installed on a Client pc, or are you running it directly on the server via remote desktop?

Hi,
I have framework manager installed on my PC

Also I tried to connect the cognos configuration and getting sql clean message.

It is telling me to either recreate the content manager or sql clean.

How can i connect to it?

When the Cogos 8 service is started for the first time, it creates the tables needed in the Content Store database.
Something went wrong there, i think.
Delete the database or schem user, recreate it and start from scratch.
When starting the service via cognos configuration, click the details so it shows errors if there are any.
Once started open the portal to see if everything looks ok.
Only then start using Framework Manager.
