Cognos 10.1.1 (RP 1) and Cognos for Microsoft Office

[sir_jeroen]

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to get Cognos 10.1.1 (RP1) working in an environment configured as followed:
Server:
- Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
- the 32-bit (x86) version of Cognos 10.1.1 BI and PPES
- Using cognosisapi.dll instead of cognos.cgi
(Btw: cognos.cgi isn't working either)

Client:
- Windows XP (x86)
- Office 2010 (x86)
- Cognos for Microsoft Office (x86)
or
- Windows 7 (x64)
- Office 2007 (x86)
- Cognos for Microsoft Office (x86)

I'm able to import a report into Excel that has no prompts, but when there's a prompt in the report I get an HTTP 500-error stating expecting text/xml received text/html).
In cogserver.log there's the message stating that not all prompts are filled. (as expected because there's no prompt page generated).
The user logging on to Cognos for MS Office is a cognos system admin.

With regards,

RA

Hey ReportNet Addict,

Just wondering if you fixed the issue that you saw with prompts on Cognos for Microsoft Office?

Recently I have experienced this issue also...

Kind Regards,

When you installed Cognos for MS Office, did you install the MS KB patches prior to installing CfMSO?

If not, you'll want to uninstall CfMSO, then install these patches and then re-install CfMSO. They can be found in the install package. Look for a directory named KB908002.

Hello,

I am facing the same error with 'Cognos for MS office 10.1.1 for BI 10.2.
I tried Grim's solution. But still the same issue.

I get this error when I import report with 'Respect soft page breaks' option checked.

When I connect to my cognos 8.4 BI server from this cognos office the error didn't happen! :(

Anybody face this problem?
