Title: Cognos 10.2.2 Mobile access through my computer's IE
Post by: sanchoniathon on 28 Jan 2015 05:39:05 AM
Hello to all,

I've been configuring IIS 7 and cognos 10.2.2 through IBM Cognos configuration (application installed on one folder and

ContentManager in another folder) in a single computer (Windows 2008 R2 Standard SP1).

The Cognos connection environment is now accessible and i need to start testing reports that end-users will view/run with their iPad.

QUESTIONS:
- I try to access those reports with my computer's Internet Explorer (9.0.8112) through the mobile http link but when i'm Inside, there is nothing, i mean i don't see any reports r folders what so ever besides my login nmae on the top right corner of the screen. Is this normal ? Please see print screen in attachment.

- Did i forget to configure something along the way ? I mean, i do have an entry in the IBM Configuration under: Data Access > Mobile > Cognos Content Store and it is filled with the appropriate Database Server and user/password etc.
Thanks !

It looks to me like your Home tab is active but below that it looks like My Folders is in focus (which should only happen if the browse tab is active). I'm guessing IE is making a mess of rendering the page. Try it in Firefox or Chrome to see if they do a better job.

Thanks, in deed it seems to work with chrome. Is 10.2.2 mobile supposed to be supported with Internet Explorer 9.0.8 ?

It doesn't look like it, no:
