Hi everyone,
I have a bit of a head ache with Cognos for Office and a cognos 10.1.1 FP4 Cognos environment.
I am trying to publish an Excel Document (of 22 MB in size) into the Cognos portal with the Cognos for Office tool.
After authenticating myself into the cognos environment from the Cognos for Office tool I click the publish button and select the Excel spreadsheet that I want to upload. After a few moments I get the following error:
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Where I am testing right now is DEV environment. (In prod we have the same behaviour)
This is using:
- Intel Xeon E5620 @ 2.40Ghz CPU.
- 98 GB of RAM
- Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1
What have I tried:- Increasing the Governor limit from the default 10 MB to 30MB and restarting the cognos services. (the erros still appears)
- In IIS I changed the connection time-out from 120 seconds to 300 seconds. (the error still appears)
I have Admin rights so permissions should not be a problem.

I would be very gratefull if someone cold give me a hend with this.
Modifying the post to add the follwoing information:
The Excel Spreadsheet has several tabs and one of them has aproximately 130000 rows. It seems that in the past the end-users were able to upload a previous version of this document. This version had 110000 rows aproximately.
Could there be some row number limit rather than size in MB limit that needs to be changed?
If so, where could I modify this parameter?
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Romeo.
