Setup IBM Cognos Connections 5 on SLES11 and Oracle. A novel

  • 19 Mar, 2015

This week i spend several hours to setup a machine with IBM Cognos and IBM Connections 5 CR2 on SLES 11 SP3 using Oracle as database.

The Cognos wizard complete the CognosBI setup but Trasnformer not.

I set the logs to debug level and the messages does not help.

The problem was when the error appears the wizard roll back the installation of CognosBI removing everything from WebSphere.

After several reviews of the SLES libraries and Oracle client setup i made the setup only for CognosBI (previously i setup CognosBI + Transformer) successfully.

I try to open the cognos URL like http://server:port/cognos/servlet/dispatch/ext but the server doesn’t send any response

Reading the cognos.log i found the following :

Initialization_SESS Initialization_REQ Thread-70        CM        6304        1        Audit.cms.CM        StartService Warning
CM-CFG-5063 A Content Manager configuration error was detected while connecting to the content store. sealing violation:
package oracle.jdbc is sealed Runtime Exception stack trace: java.lang.SecurityException: sealing violation: package oracle.jdbc is sealed

I don’t now why but the installer copy the orajdbc6.jar into Cognos.ear.   I stop the cognos server, remove the orajdbc6.jar from the lib folder inside of cognos.ear and  start the server.

The cognosBI works and  Transformer was installed without problems.

The steps i follow

1 - Setup Cognos BI
2 - Stop the server and remove the orajdbc6.jar from the cognos.ear
3 - Start the Cognos Server
4 - Setup the Transformer

Homepage Search: Profiles server fails while creating the initial index

When trying to create the initial index for Global Search from the Homepage server, the index update fails with an error. To prevent further problems with indexing, perform a search in the Profiles database for any null entries in the table EMPINST.EMPLOYEE. select \ from EMPINST.EMPLOYEE
where EMPINST.EMPLOYEE.PROF\DISPLAY\NAME is null If any entries are returned they must be updated with an entry in the display name column for the Profiles feature to index successfully. To prevent this issue from occurring, change the value of PROF\DISPLAY\NAME=256 in the validate\dbrepos\fields.properties file, to contain the following: PROF\DISPLAY\NAME=(x != null) && (x.length() > 0) && (x.lengt
