RRDI configuration setup - Cognos
Hi there,
again I'm facing a problem when trying to running the configuration setup of RRDI.
I'm using this documentation to install / setting up the RRDI on a "three server topology" - means one server for CLM one server for the MSSQL database and one server for RRDI:

I'm stuck in the configuration setup step 6 - "Build and Deploy Reporting Components"
At the moment he fails with this error:
In the cogserver.log this is written:

I just wanted to tell you that this problem is solved now.
What is the solution exactly?
I think there where more then one thing which caused in addition this problem.
The first was that the reporting server used another port then the cognos server. During the configuration you are able to tell the cognos to validate the default port - this was not successfull in my case. So I used another port which could be validated.
This seemed to confuse the server so he started the cognos on the new port, but this was not working because he thought of another port ...
To eliminate this problem I searched for the cause of the validation error at the beginning and found it as a second WebSphere Profile. After removing this profile and uninstalling / installing the RRDI again this default port was possible to use.
Other things I fixed where:
- The collation of the RICM database was incorrect. So I removed it and created it new.
. There was another RRDI installation (v1) on another server this installation seemed to prevent my new installation from using the RICM database. I removed it.
- The user was not possible to connect to the database though he could connect using the cognos configuration. I tried using a local user, a domain user, a local SQL Server user even with a complex and a simple password. This user was never possible to log on during deployment. So I used another user in the end.
The user login problem was checked before the other things where done so it was not the only problem.
After all things where done together it worked.

Hi Simon,
Can you have a look at this technote (http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21571601) to see if it resolves your issue?
Some caveats when following the steps in the technote:
1) For RRDI, c10_location would be <RRDIInstallDir>/cognos
2) If you installed with a 64-bit architecture, then look in the bin64 directory instead of the bin directory AND look for bootstrap_win64.xml instead of bootstrap_win32.xml
regards,
Ali
