Hi,
I'm are currently installing a new environment for Cognos 10.1.1 and are experiencing problems reaching the deployment location we have specified in Cognos Configuration.
Content Manager
Deployment files location: \\servername.domainname-topdomainname\Cognos_deployment_location
Planning server
Deployment files location: \\servername.domainname.topdomainname\Cognos_deployment_location
Planning server only with administration tools
Deployment files location: ../deployment
The share \\servername.domainname.topdomainname\Cognos_deployment_location have full permissions for the user account which runs the Cognos services and all server are able to open the share via the network in Windows Explorer. I can also mention that I have a virtual test server which runs Windows XP that are able to reach the deployment location via Cognos Contributor Administration.
The error message that I recive looks like this:
"Could not locate the folder 'null'
This is the deployment folder specified in Cognos Configuration.
