We have recently started receiving an error when attempting to open Contributor Web as well as the Administration Console. The error for both indicates SOAP proxy timed out. On a second attempt, we are able to successfully access the Contributor Web application or get the Admin Console to open. Has anyone else received this error and have a resolution? We have been struggling with this error for about 2 months.
I have this error for one user, but I have no resolution. I also get "Server Error: ServerError: ITK_RPC_TIMEOUT [recoverable==false]" in the PlanningErrorLog.csv and this message as a prompt "ITK Server Communications Timed Out." If anyone has any solutions, I would greatly appreciate it.
We are on Cognos 8.4.1 SP2 for Planning and SP3 for BI. This particular user is on Win 7, and we are using SQL Server 2005/8 in our environment.

nwenther - regarding above, and this may be too late, but I just learned this from first hand experience...
I simply blew away his profile in Access Manager and recreated it. Problem solved. I have no clue what "corrupted" his profile in Access Manager/Cognos Planning, but this appears to be the fix. Instead of it taking roughly 1 min and roughly 3 min to show the hierarchy and then open a single elist budget, it now takes roughly 5 seconds and 15-20 seconds, respectively. This is in line with our normal expectations.
As our issue was more of a one-off and not universal, I'm not sure if this will fix your issue or not. If you had a different resolution, please post here in case someone else can benefit from it.

Ok, so not sure that rebuilding the profile in Access Manager solved the problem. The user continued to have issues after I made that change. So, here are the other things I did, in case any of them help:
1. Delete IE cache (user on IE 9)
2. Delete Planning cache (.at and .store files)
3. Disable Symantec Intrusion Prevention add-on in IE (not sure this is the issue as it has been enabled on my IE8 for quite some time with no issues)
I also learned that he user was opening a multi-elist item view in Contributor and explained model size to him and what his options might need to be if that causes a problem. We are good for now, so we'll see...
Hope this helps someone.

Still no resolution on this issue...???
