try naming it something different. Or find the file with the same alias somewhere else on your computer and delete it if you can.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

That should be the service name, just go to Cognos Configuration, under the Cognos Services there will be some thing like "Cognos8" just rename it to "Cognos8.3" or some thing else, then it will works fine.

Thanks,
