Trying to start Cognos 8 service in Cognos Configuration gives a timeout error

Troubleshooting


Problem

Service fails to start when applying or starting the services in Cognos Configuration. Error message appears while trying to start service.

Symptom

CFG-ERR-0106 Cognos Configuration did not receive a response from the Cognos 8 service in the time allotted.
Check that Cognos 8 service is available and properly configured.

Resolving The Problem

Ensure that you are using a JRE version supported by Cognos.

Steps:

  1. Check the cbs_run.log to see if there are indications that Cognos 8 is pointing to an unsupported JRE version.
  2. Remove the JAVA_HOME variable so that by default Cognos 8 would point to the JRE shipped with the product.
