We have a peculiar problem... we have Dev, PreProd, and Prod environments. The developers did some updates to a package that consists of a few Report Studio Reports and two cubes... nothing major to anything. Developers develop in Dev-Windows. Then export the package and give to us. We loaded into a Dev-Unix environment and things appear OK. We load into PreProd-Unix (which mirrors Prod-Unix) and Analsys Studio will not run (opening a cube or just opening Analysis Studio itself). We get "No connection to the datasource could be established" on the screen. And the following in the log file "Cannot forward affine request because no node ID was specified. The request is malformed." We have Cognos stumped and we're stumped. We resorted back to the earlier version of the package and it seemd to run fine. We completely reloaded Cognos and the new package from scratch and still have problem. It has to be in the package(?). We've gone over and over the obvious stuff with connections and datasources defined. Anyone see the "affine" errors or any other ideas?
