IBM suggested Technote:

Microsoft IIS imposes a limit on the size of the url address/http query string. This limit is controllable from IIS Internet Information Service Manager in windows ( under Administrative tools)

Here are some instructions on how to change/set these limits:

- Open Internet Information Service Manager on the Cognos IIS host. This is located from Control Panel under "Administrative tools" option.

- On the navigation tree to the left, Click on "Sites/Default Web Site\IBMCognos" and select the "bi" directory.

- Double click on "Request Filtering" and then click on "Edit Feature Settings"

- Modify "Maximum URL Length" and "Maximum Query String".

- Test with first one to at least 16000 and the second to at least 8000

- Restart IIS
