Title: Visualization Error after Installation
Post by: roddawg on 29 Feb 2016 10:14:44 AM
I have Cognos 10.2.1 installed in a development environment. I have downloaded the Visualization pack vis.sample.all_10_2_1.zip. I unzipped this into the individual .zip files for installation in a local folder. I can use Cognos Connection to install them and they show "success".  However when I go to insert them into a Report I get the following error
Quote<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

</fieldset></div>
</div>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

not sure if this still an open problem (if not could you be so kind an post your solution?), but if you are still having trouble I recommend a google search for the ibm cognos visualization forum - there is IBM staff who might be able to help you.

Thanks I looked and didn't see any solutions.  I requested to join the group, I'll post when/if I get an answer.

Hi, any luck so far?

The IBM support forum I meant can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/forum?id=eb8a1fa2-f0a0-4672-9dae-a97f04dde74f&ps=25 (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/forum?id=eb8a1fa2-f0a0-4672-9dae-a97f04dde74f&ps=25). You can use your IBM ID to communicate there. I hope it's okay to post this link, otherwise please just edit this post.

Are you sure you have the 10.2.1 visualizations? What fix pack level (if any) are you running? I seem to recall that some are suitable for use in 10.2.1 GA (ie unpatched) and some are for 10.2.1.4 (ie 10.2.1 with Fix Pack 4 installed). It's worth checking you have the correct spec of visualization for the server version you are running.

Cheers!

Is the visualization you are using one of the ones built for 10.2.1 Fix Pack 4 (and later)? If so, that might explain why you can't use it in 10.2.1 FP3?

I actually tried the visualizations for 10.2.1 and 10.2.1.1 from Analyticszone.   Both had the same error.  Not sure where the issue lies.  Going to try a support ticket.
