Title: Audit Extension (under gateway server)
Post by: Yizi on 05 Jan 2016 03:56:13 AM
Hi all, just a quick question regarding the Audit Extension: Can I install audit extension under a gateway server (only has the gateway setup). If yes do I need to do anything different as the .war file isn't unpacking after being dropped in the webapps folder.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like Audit Extension need to be on the same server as one of the dispatchers to function and it will no work solely on a GW server (Cognos GW software installed only).

Guys I'm really stuck on this one and need some help if possible.
Current setup is

Dispatcher1 ---
                       ---- GW
Dispatcher2 ---

I've installed the Audit Extension on both of the dispatchers (knowing that it cannot be installed on the GW server) but cannot access it. I've tried the following URLs:

http://localhost/ibmcognos <--- This loads Cognos up and it's all good

http://localhost/ibmcognos:9300/AuditExt
http://localhost:9300/ibmcognos/AuditExt
http://localhost:9300/AuditExt

Thanks in advance  :-\

The war should be copied to <c10install>/wlpdropins in 10.2.2 not webapps. Please see here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/development/utilities/page574.html

Correct if you are using the IBM Websphere Liberty. I'm still running Cognos on Tomcat still. I will try Websphere as its installed and lets see if that resolves it.

Cognos 10.2.2 doesn't ship with Tomcat, it ships with WLP. Tomcat is not listed as a supported application server for 10.2.2.

Cheers!
