  • When attempting to start IBM Cognos manually via IBM Cognos Configuration, the operation will fail with one of the following.

[Launching a JVM using 'Maximum memory in MB']
Successfully launched a test JVM with the memory setting of '4096'. Note that this does not guarantee that the IBM Cogn os service will start and run successfully.

DPR-ERR-2109 The dispatcher cannot service the request at this time. The dispatcher is still initializing.
Contact your administrator if this problem persists

  • To see which JVM options are based on this setting, view ibmcognos_location/bin64/bootstrap_wlp_<OS>.xml and see your JVM documentation for an explanation of those options.

[Archive Local File System Root]
Since the value is empty, the feature is disabled. There is nothing to test.

[Start Service]
[ ERROR ] CFG-ERR-0106 IBM Cognos Configuration did not receive a response from the IBM Cognos service in the time allotted.
Check that IBM Cognos service is available and properly configured.
