Hopefully someone will be able to help me.

I have installed COGNOS 8.2 Analysis onto a machine and configure an SQL2005 database as per installation guide.

I correctly set the web folders and the database permissions are fine, as C8 creates the required tables.

When start the service and try to connect to I get the following error:

----------------------------------------------------------
The Cognos Gateway is unable to connect to the Cognos BI server. The server may be unavailable, or the gateway may not be correctly configured.

Please try again or contact your administrator.
----------------------------------------------------------

looking at the configuration, I think the error is something to do with the Dispatcher URIs for gateway. It makes refence by default to
BUT!, there is no p2pd directory in the webcontent folder??? Also do I need to configure port 9300, the installation guide doesn't mention it.

I'm I missing some software??? From what I gather I should have everying I need to run COGNOS 8.2 Analysis on a single machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
 
Hi,

You should also see it in the following places:

C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\templates\ps\portal

C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\templates\ps\ags (if you have Event Studio)

C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\templates\ps\qs (if you have Query Studio)

C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\templates\ps

The fact that it's not there in these places perhaps indicates that the content from the media did not install properly. Take a look in C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\instlog at the log files in there to see if there are any errors. If so, it may be worth running through the install process again.

Regards,

MF.
 
thanks!

i think could have something fundemental to do with the problems!:

Failed to list entries for tar file "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.POTLL\Desktop\Analysis\zipfiles\win32\ps-win32-app-8.2.1416.0-inst.tar.gz".
Header format is not 'ustar'. Cannot extract.

Failed to extract file "." from tar file "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.POTLL\Desktop\Analysis\zipfiles\win32\ps-win32-app-8.2.1416.0-inst.tar.gz".
Header format is not 'ustar'. Cannot extract.

Other than that, it looks like everything else was successful.

will try and got another copy of this tar file and see how I get on.

Thank you everyone for your help! It has been very much appreciated!
 
Just a quick note to let you all know, that I now have it working.

I replaced the ps-win32-app-8.2.1416.0-inst.tar.gz file with the same file from a report package and it's installed and run without any issues!

Thanks once again to everyone who posted replies.
 
Sorry peeps,

one more question, what C8 package does Framework manager come with?

Is it part of the COGNOS 8.2 Analysis?? (I thought it was, but I don't get any options to install it).

As always, any help appreciated.

Thanks
