  • 1.  "Specify Column Dependencies" does not load javascript correctly

    Posted 01/21/19 11:12 AM
    Hi,

    We are trying to explore the "Specify Column Dependencies" functionality.

    First, is that by default the icon for this functionality  (next to the Diagram icon) only becomes visible when you click the menu item.

    Then nothing.

    We found that the file normalization.js is loaded from the wrong location. Unlike for example the clean.js that is located in the same folder.


    https://ourserver/ibmcognos/bi/ca-modeller/clean.js

    vs

    https://ourserver/bi/ca-modeller/normalization.js

    Is that a bug?

    PS while investigating this we found we refollowed (and fixed) some of our IIS configuration. We had been puzzled that our http://ourserver/ibmcognos (without a slash) would always redirect to http://ourserver/bi
    We found that this is caused by the following line in the default.html. Maybe you could either change that line (all your samples suggest to run Cognos from /ibmcognos) or add an extra line to the documentation to also change this.

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=bi/">

    Hi Reinier,

    Have you opened support cases against these issues?  We should not be fetching anything from https://ourserver/bi/, it should always be going to https://ourserver/ibmcognos/bi/. 

    Thanks,
    Rob

    @Reinier ,  I have come across this before. To me, it looks to be an issue as well. 

    As you have mentioned without slash, things do not work intelligently or on its own.

    Thank you for reporting this.  It is indeed a defect in 11.1.1 with an IIS gateway.  We will fix this in 11.1.2.  Sorry, I do not have an ETA.  

    The work-around is to go to the dispatcher directly at server:9300/bi or to redirect /server/bi to /server/ibmcognos/bi.
