Issue is resolved after I exchanged the Certificate of servers with each other. Thank You.

Hi Team,

I have installed Cognos Analytics 12.0.4 all components on two separate machines/servers. I have a single DB2 machine as content database.
1. cognosprod01 - primary
2. cognosprod02 - secondary

I have updated the two content manager URIs in the environment configuration.
1. https://cognosprod01:9300/p2pd/servlet
2. https://cognosprod02:9300/p2pd/servlet

I have updated the dispatcher URIs for gateways also as below.
1. https://cognosprod01:9300/bi/v1/disp
2. https://cognosprod02:9300/bi/v1/disp

When I'm starting the cognos services on both servers. Only prod01 is getting started properly. prod02 server get stuck at CM-REQ-2378 A request was received to start the negotiation process to determine which content manager instance should become active.

as of now each server has its own entry in Gateway URI field.

Content DB server is reachable from both server.

Cognos services start successfully on the server where I start them first, the second one goes into this error.

Do I need to configure HTTP server before I start the services on both cognos server and update the Gateway URI. So that cognos services comes up properly on each server?

OR

Do I need to exchange keys between these servers, so that they can communicate with each other. I'm using TLS1.2, HTTPS and Third Party Certificate Authority.

Or this error is because of something else?

Kindly guide me, if I need to so some other configuration.

Will follow this link to configure HTTP server (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.0.x?topic=server-configuring-http-v9)

By "which parameters", do you mean what you see listed as a parameter in Reporting?  The COGIPF_PARAMETER table in the audit database contains what Cognos defines as a parameter.  There are many types.  You're looking for

COGIPF_PARAMETER_NAME = 'parameterValues'

Then you'll need to parse the XML.

What version of Cognos Analytics?  Looking at the docs for 12.0.4, I don't see /api/v1/{report id}/run being an option.

Hi all,

Here's what I've tried so far which doesn't seem to work..

- As per the documentation, I've sent a PUT request to /api/v1/session and got the session cookies.
- I've used this to authenticate and I was successfully able to get output for GET /api/v1/content
- In this output I have info about team folders and my personal folder, but when i try to see contents inside these folders using /api/v1/content/team_folders/items I get a 403 forbidden error.

To run the report (which is my goal) I've tried stuff like /api/v1/{report id}/run or /execute but it keeps throwing an error saying forbidden or unauthorized. Which is strange because I have the access to read n write anything in all the folders.

Could anyone please suggest something that i can try?

P.S : giving search path instead of report id doesnt work either.

This should probably be moved to Cognos Analytics | Administration and Security

Thank you for your answer!
1) We need information about "what users, when run, which reports with which parameters"

2) I moved my topic to Cognos Analytics | Administration and Security
