Title: Active report on Cognos Analytics 11.0.3
Post by: sdf on 09 Aug 2016 11:13:56 PM
Hi,

I have a newly installed instance.
Just trying out running some reports, stumble upon active reports,
I created a blank active report, just input a text.. then when i run, it loads to a new window but never run completely.
It stays to starting.. (loading).

Simple reports are running fine.
Are there any config to secure for active report running?


*update

This is only happening when im using the url with <ipaddress>/ibmcognos/bi/ . I configured CA to use IIS.
I logged into the server and tried running active report and it went well using <localhost>:9300/bi/v1/.

any thoughts??

Hi,

The <hostname>:9300/bi/v1/ url is the servlet gateway - this will work regardless of whether or not you have IIS and have configured IIS.

The <ipaddress>/ibmcognos/bi/ url is (I assume) using IIS - if you configured ibmcognos as an IIS virtual directory? The fact this won't display active reports indicates you haven't configured IIS correctly, I think.

Cheers!

Hmm,

I will review the steps again and the configuration for IIS.
Do you have anything in mind that's more specific that may relate to this issue?

Thanks!

I agree with MF regarding troubleshooting IIS. Have you checked the logs when this happens? I would be interested in seeing what messages you see.

Have you reviewed the official documentation on setting up IIS for Cognos Analytics? It's a different process than for Cognos 10.

I just googled it, and managed to find a link to a pdf on the IBM support site that details what to do. Worryingly it also says (in red text) "IBM Confidential" on every page!

Hi MFGF,

Yep, i followed that same document.

So basically my active report does not run on IIS. But it runs on the default websphere.

Did you remember to add the JSON mime type?
