<strong>Cognos</strong> <strong>Portal</strong> <strong>Services</strong><br />
Supplementary Troubleshooting Notes for<br />
<strong>Cognos</strong> ReportNet 1.02 Maintenance Release 1<br />
3.6 CPS-WSR-0041<br />
CPS-WSR-0041 Failed to connect to target "http://:/p2pd/servlet/dispatch".<br />
Connection refused: connect<br />
Possible causes:<br />
1 – The ReportNet server is not running or still initializing<br />
Corrective Actions<br />
- Make sure that ReportNet is started properly.<br />
- Make sure you can access ReportNet directly from a browser.<br />
2 – The portal server does not have network access to the server running ReportNet<br />
Corrective Actions: (<strong>Portal</strong> Administrator)<br />
- From the portal server machine, start a DOS window and try to ‘ping’ the ReportNet server using the<br />
same server name/address as in the error message.<br />
- If there is no response, there is a connection problem between the 2 machines. You need to make sure<br />
the 2 machines can communicate over an IP connection.<br />
- If the ping succeeds, make sure that no firewall blocks the configured port (default is 9300) between the<br />
2 servers.<br />
3 – The URL for connecting to ReportNet is incorrect.<br />
Corrective Actions: (<strong>Portal</strong> Administrator)<br />
- Open the portal in administration mode.<br />
- Go to Content Admin > iViews and locate the iView instance that causes the problem.<br />
- Click Edit to configure the instance and select the “Java” tab.<br />
- Verify that the URL value in _cpsserver is valid. It should indicate the proper server name or address<br />
and the proper port number of the ReportNet dispatcher.<br />
http://:/p2pd/servlet/dispatch<br />
must be set explicitly, “localhost” should not be used.,<br />
defaults to 9300 (the default port for ReportNet’s dispatcher), verify your ReportNet<br />
installed port by running <strong>Cognos</strong> Configuration.<br />
The rest of the URL should be left as written above.<br />
4 – Java VM conflicts on the ReportNet server<br />
Corrective Actions:<br />
- On the ReportNet server, ReportNet comes with its own version of JRE. Make sure no other version of<br />
the Java VM or Java SDK are installed on the server.<br />
- Verify that there is no system environment variable called JAVA_HOME that can cause such conflicts.<br />
