    Hi Naidu,

    Did you try to open Report in private (or InPrivate) mode? Did you try to remove any cookie? Do you have the same issue with all users?
    You can quickly determine if extensions are the cause of any strange behavior by using a factory default mode URL to bypass all extensions:

    http(s)://<YourServerNameAndDomainHere>/bi/?factoryMode=true
    Best regards,

    Naidu,

    Try to connect to http://<servername>:9300/bi/?perspective=home or your default "home page" for Cognos.

    Remove everything after "=home" then add &factoryMode=true so the url shoud finish with ?perspective=home&factoryMode=true

    Best regards,

    Do you have access to samples on your server? Can you open existing reports (samples or not)? 

    Is it a new install? Did you upgrade to a new fix pack?

    Did you upgrade from an older version (v10.x or v11.0.x)?

    Naidu,

    Make sure you are using the latest Fix Pack (Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 FP8, build number: 11.1.7-2402131538). 

    I don't have any other idea right now.

    Best regards,
