<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 />
