Hello everybody! I'm novice in Cognos but already have a problem with starting Cognos Service after not planned changes of hostname. I'm understand that i have problem with CM because if i create new CM service start successful. But i need start with corrupted CM or if it possible restore reports and packages from them. This is message from Congnos Configuration when i start service with my corrupted CM:

[Launching a JVM using 'Maximum memory in MB']
Successfully launched a test JVM with the memory setting of '768'. Note that this does not guarantee that the IBM Cognos service will start and run successfully.

To see which JVM options are based on this setting, view ibmcognos_location/bin/bootstrap_<OS>.xml and see your JVM documentation for an explanation of those options.

Hi,

Did you change all the relevant hostname entries in the Environment tab in Cognos Configuration? Don't forget you may have to scroll down to see them all.

So my first question is...

Did the server "hostname" change (Nothing to do with Cognos)?

or

Are you referring to the "hostname" configured in Cognos Configuration ONLY?

And...

Is this Windows or Unix/Linux?

Thanks Everybody. Problem is solved.

Fancy sharing the solution so that others with the same kind of issues will know what to look for?
