Title: [RS] Errors when Opening Reports with a Map
Post by: Urantian on 09 May 2007 06:36:52 PM

When opening q report in Report Studio which contains a map, I am getting an error message that references several library functions:

CGSErrorAssert:0:Fatal: CGS_ASSERT(bytesRead != -1 && bytesRead == (long) byteCount, "Read failure."); RSV-SRV-0042 Trace back: RSReportService.cpp(657): CGSErrorAssert: CCL_CAUGHT: RSReportService::process() RSReportServiceMethod.cpp(177): CGSErrorAssert: CCL_RETHROW: RSReportServiceMethod::process(): mapGetMapInfo_Request Common/CMFileStream.cpp(96): CGSErrorAssert: CCL_THROW:

The report can still open, even though the error is displayed. However. if I attempt to open the map object, the error message is repeated. In addition, the Choose Map pop-up window is blank---no maps. However, the MAP folder contains files, but Cognos 8 apparently cannot read it.

I deleted some files in the MAP folder that I created, because I want to re-generate them. After replacing the files with new versions, the error occurred. Any ideas?

I was able to solve this problem! The server had a backup copy of the MAPS folder. After restoring from the backup, everything seems to work okay now. Apparently, one or more required files were mistakenly deleted.

I suggest others maintain a backup copy of the maps folder.
