​ Follow the steps listed here to troubleshoot when a MaxResultsExceededException occurs. Problem The following or similar MaxResultsExceededException occurs when retrieving search results from the LDAP server: com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.MaxResultsExceededException: CWWIM1018E search results exceeds the 4500 maximum search limit. This exception is thrown when the number of entries in the search results retrieved from the LDAP server exceeds the value of the maxSearchResults parameter specified in wimconfig.xml file. Solution When your application calls the virtual member manager search() method, use the countLimit parameter to pass a value to truncate search results when that value is reached. In the following sample data graph, the countLimit is set to 4, which means that the results are truncated when 4 entries are retrieved from the LDAP server. <sdo:datagraph xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance " xmlns:sdo="commo...

Environment Unix Resolving the problem To Enable the 64-bit web gateway follow the steps below: 1. Go to the c10_location/cgi-bin. 2. Type the following command: On UNIX or Linux operating systems, type ./copyGateMod.sh 64bit On Windows operating systems, type copyGateMod.bat 64bit Once the above command is run successfully, the 64-bit gateway files are copied from the c10_location/...

Technote (troubleshooting) Problem(Abstract) During the installation of Cognos Business Intelligence, the following error message is generated when a required openmotif package is missing or is not at the required version level: "Error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Resolving the problem Scenario 1: OpenMotif package is missing For Cognos 10.2, you must install both the 32-bit and 64-bit OpenMotif packages. For Cognos Business Intelligence 8.4.x and Cognos Business Intelligence 10.1.x, only the 32-bit OpenMotif package is required. Depending on the Linux distribution version, you must install one of the following packages: openmotif.x86_64 (RHEL) openmotif.i386 (RHEL5) openmotif.i686 (RHEL6) openmotif (SLES) openmotif-libs-32bit (SLES) Note: For SLES distributions, the OpenMotif libraries can be found at...

I've started compiling some instructions for installing IBM Cognos 10.2.1 Business Intelligence onto a minimal installation of CentOS 6.5. It's mostly been going well up until the point of configuring the Cognos Connection website on Apache.  At that point it seems to be struggling with loading the mod2_2_cognos.so file.  If anybody finds this page and has found a way around this please comment as it's doing my head right in at the moment! Likewise if you see something you think I'm doing wrong below I'd be very happy to hear from you. For now though here's what I did: I've completed the entire installation from a remote command line using the ssh -X command so that graphical output is redirected to my computer. Creating the service account Create "cognos" user. useradd cognos set his password passwd cognos  Installing a Desktop Environment Annoyingly you'll need the a Desktop Environment as the Cognos installer appears to require this. sudo  y...
