IBM Cognos LifeCycle Manager known issues

Some known issues and limitations exist when you work in Cognos LifeCycle Manager.

The following list describes known issues and limitations in Cognos LifeCycle Manager.

  • Cognos LifeCycle Manager can stop working when it loads large images.
  • Data comparison can take a long time with large reports.
  • Report comparison is not supported for nested crosstabs when a sort is applied to the items on the nested edge.
  • Cognos LifeCycle Manager does not support environments that are secured with Single Sign On (SSO) via a gateway installation.

    When a Windows environment is set up to use SSO, you access your IBM Cognos content by using the BI endpoint or dispatcher URL. You must use this URL as the gateway URL when you define a server in Cognos LifeCycle Manager. For IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.2 and subsequent releases, the content that you need is available when you are using the BI endpoint or external dispatcher URL.

    For versions earlier than Cognos BI 10.2.2, you must copy the contents of the webcontent folder into the servlet location. For more information, see the technote How do you run Cognos Business Intelligence without a webserver (http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21339260).
