Administration Links

[shananigins]

Hi all,

I'm trying to transfer data from a file that was generated by a Framework Package directly into the CAC using an Admin Link.  The text file matches the target cube exactly except for and additional column for values (stats).  I realize that you can not leave Data (in this case 'value) unmatched with a target dimension but I'm wondering if I'm matching up the columns incorrectly.

I run a validate_links and it completes fine.  However, when I execute the link I get two errors:

Error Number: 1
Line Number: 390
Description: Unable to execute Job Item
Unable to run the Linkstep.

And

Error Number: -2147220566
Line Number: 220
Description: Unable to get Job Item
The Job management step failed.  An attempt has been made to mark the 'INTER_APP_LINKS' Job as CANCELLED.  Please rectify the problem and re-create a similar Job.

Any thoughts out there?  Anyone else love Cognos error messages as much as I do?

Never seen that but couple of things I'd check:

All cognos services running under the same domain account
That domain account has full privileges
User account has needed privileges
Using sql accounts for all connections, not trusted (if SQL Server)

It's a permissions thing - any additional messages in the planningerrorlogs (check all 3 places, user's my docs, service acct my docs, and windows\temp)?

Also, anything of interest in cogserver.log (under ROOT\logs, where ROOT is the location where you installed Cognos services)?

Thanks everyone!  I'll look into these potential causes and get back to you.
