Title: Cognos Planning 8.3 unable to create publish package
Post by: akustw01 on 05 Sep 2008 03:15:10 PM

I have an application that when I run a GTP with the option create planning package the GTP fails on the last step; however, when I do a GTP with out the option to create a planning package the GTP is successful.

I have no issue with any other application.

I get the following error:


Process ID / Thread ID: 1208 / 5528

Unable to execute macro step 'Go to Production'.

Unable to execute macro '{15E4A630-E062-4633-BBBF-9827B15867CB}'

Unable to execute 'Go to Production'

Unable to execute 'AutomatedGTP_83.Implementation.Execute'

Object variable or With block variable not set

Ticket has been open with Support but no luck yet.

Hi akustw01

Is there already a package published to connection? If yes did you try to delete it?
You can also try to give the package a new name (applications maintenance->gtp options). Is the location valid in the options??

If this will not help try export the application with the deployment wizard, remove/delete it and reimport it.

Let me know if that helps,
Sascha

Make sure no reserved characters are in the app name, like & or > or <  (these are XML reserved chars and cause problems with integration across products).

Have already deleted the pervious copy of the package from the connection.  Have already done the deployment trick. 

No JOY...

Have not tried to rename the publish package.  Will give that a try.

Thanks

All locations are valid and user has access rights to publish to the location.

Not per default.

I just tried to export a deployment package, modify the xml code and reimport it but this one didn't work  :(.

But I can think of another way. Be aware of that this way is not tested and not supported, so use at your own risk:

And.... always do backups before trying!

Good luck  8)
