Hi Sir,

Did you manage to solve this issue? and how?

I am also getting same issue, if I have any query ESRI design will give the error.

Please let me know if anyone able to crack the issue, otherwise I have to open a ticket with ESRI team.

Good Morning,

When installing Esri Maps for IBM Cognos (EM4C) it is necessary to select the version of IBM Cognos you are targeting. 

This error will occur if the wrong version of IBM Cognos was selected. 

Check what report specification version EM4C is targeting

1. Navigate to [esriMapsHome]/webapps/em4c on the file system


2. Open defaultSpec.xml


3. The first line of the file will read something like this: xmlns="http://developer.cognos.com/schemas/report/8.0/"


4. The 8 at the end of the line indicates that this version of EM4C is targeting Cognos report spec version 8.  This is associated with Cognos 10.1.1. 

Check what report specification version report studio is using

1. Inside Cognos, Launch Report Studio from the Launch Menu


2. From the Tools Menu select "Show Specification"


3. The first line of the file will read something like this: xmlns="http://developer.cognos.com/schemas/report/8.0/"


4. The 8 at the end of the line indicates that this version of EM4C is targetting Cognos report spec version 8.  This is associated with Cognos 10.1.1. 

The report spec version in the defaultSpec.xml file and the report in Cognos must match.  If they do not match then re-install EM4C targeting the correct version of IBM Cognos.

When migrating reports between different versions of IBM Cognos reports some special steps must be performed:

1. Move the report from the IBM Cognos 10.1.1 environment to the IBM Cognos 10.2 environment.


2. When the report is executed it will run normally. 


3. Before the map can be edited in Esri Maps Properties the report must be opened and saved in Report Studio.  This will update the report specification version.

Hopefully this resolves the issue.  Have a great week.

If you are using IBM Cognos 10.2.1, Fix Pack 1 and experiencing a similar issue please refer to this Knowledge Base Article:

http://support.esri.com/cn/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/41743

[PraveenChetty]

That fix the issue. I never had option to select Cognos 10.2.1 with fix pack. I have only to select Cognos 10.2.1.

Thank you Jake!!!
