Title: IBM Cognos Package as source of D-Link
Post by: Matya on 28 May 2009 09:14:44 AM
Hi All!

When I'm trying to use an IBM Cognos Package as source of D-Link the all accessible package displayed perfectly, but if I choose one the error message is the following:

" The model or package /content/package[@name='%(=/rtekesites data']/model[last()] does not exist."

The '%(=/' character is originally a regional character wich we'r using in the package name. This regional character the reason wherefore request is failed. In the Content Store the package name is correct.

Any idea, how can I solve this problem?

Thx

Cognos Planning has serious issues when using non-US characters as names of objects. Do not use them. There is no other workaround I would know of.

Also, if you are on 8.3, you should make sure that your installation is up-to-date.

There's also a fix pack (IBM's term) released early April for planning 8.3. 
Fix central link:  http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/

Unfortunately, I don't think you can do direct URLs to the downloads: only selection criteria for a pick list
