Hi,
I have installed Cognos 10.2.1 version along with the Data Manger in my system (in a single server) . The Configuration has completed without an error But on using the Gateway URL to connect Cognos Connection : http://host_name : port number /ibmcognos/isapi. , the browser pops up a file download window that asks if I want to save the file "cognosisapi.xts&startwel=yes" My choices are Find, Save, Cancel; none of which get me access to the cognos content.
What would be the solution to the problem ? If anyone aware of this , please do help.
Thanks in Advance,
GSivanan
Please see point #2 in the forum etiquette post.

Why you would be shouting urgent on a fresh install is beyond my understanding.
I must agree with bdbits.
Your URL looks wonky. Try http://servername.domain.com:port[80]/ibmcognos. Cognos will redirect you to the right place based on the settings in Cognos Configuration -- probably http://servername.domain.com[80]/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll?baction=xts.run......... Don't manually try the whole URL yourself.
