Unable to Publish Macros in Cognos Portal after deployment import

[ratoz]

I have imported the macros from into Prod from Dev (Cognos Planning 10.1.1 FP2) but the macros are not automatically getting published in the Cognos Connection Portal. Could any one please help.

You probably thought if this already but I will dive in anyway  :)

• Do you have any special characters in the macro names?
• Do you have proper permissions setup for you as a user (the credentials you did the import with) in that environment?

It was the first question that caused me to have an issue a few years back so I avoid anything that isn't an alphanumeric character in any macro names. We had a consultant one time use the less than and greater than symbols in macro names and they wouldn't publish. As soon as I removed those characters we had success.

I am sure someone else will chime in with other pertinent questions as well.

Hi Danno,


Do you have any special characters in the macro names? NO
Do you have proper permissions setup for you as a user (the credentials you did the import with) in that environment? YES

Still the issue persists...

Have you combed through the logs to see if anything odd showed up when you migrated the macros to Prod? I would look first for warnings and info statements around the time frame of the import to see if anything was remiss.
