PK93505: COGNOS APPLICATION FIREWALL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When attempting to schedule a report with a large number of
  prompts the following error is thrown: DPR-ERR-2079 Firewall
  Security Rejection. Your request was rejected by the security
  firewall.
  
  This appears to be a result of the number of prompts creating an
  url to long for the caf to validate.  If this report is run
  interactively, no error is thrown and the report succeeds.
  
  If the CAF is disabled, no error is thrown.
