How to Validate a Cognos report in debug mode ( element-by-element or step-by-step)


We recently migrated from Cognos 10.1.1 to Cognos 10.2.1.1 ( 10.2.1 plus Fix pack1) . Some of our existing reports fail validation now.

From the cogserver.log file , it looks like the BIBUS Process is Crashing on validating the report. We are working with IBM tech support via a PMR .

Wanted to try if someone here knows if it is possible to Validate a report step by step so that I can get some information or some logs on what element in our report is exactly causing the issue? i.e. Is it possible to do the report validation in a debug mode somehow?


Solution

  • Unfortunately, there's no way to debug step by step. Finally got the Core dumps for the crashes, sent them over to IBM Folks ; and they identified it as a known bug in 10.2.1.1. So now we are at 10.2.1.2 (applied Fix pack 2) which solves the issue.
