Title: Cognos.ini file not found
Post by: Novice on 08 Jul 2006 07:19:39 AM
Hi,

We have Cognos 8 Installed in a distributed fashion, with web server and application server as different machines. The Portal is running up fine. But, yesterday when I tried locating the Cognos.ini file, I could not find it on either of the servers.

What could be the reason? Any help on this shall be highly appreciated.

I do not think it is required to have a cognos.ini file in C8...

Did you check program files\cognos\cer3 (or cer4) folders as well?

Why are you looking for the file?

Regards,

Mike

Hi,

Cognos.ini is used for the Series 7 Cognos products.  Normally it is not relevant to Cognos 8, so you will not find it on your web servers or application servers.  The only time it may be required is if you have installed Cognos 8 OLAP Modeling, which is in fact Transformer 7.3.  Often this will be installed on a developer's workstation PC rather than on a Cognos 8 server, so if that's what you're after, look under Program Files\Cognos on the PC(s) with Transformer installed.

Best regards,

MF.
