  Cognos Report Viewer widgets are not displayed correctly after
  you
  import Business Space from WebSphere Business Monitor V7.0.0.4
  to
  IBM Business Monitor V8.0.1.1.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available that removes the URL format prefix from the
  href attribute. After the URL format prefix is removed, the href
  attribute looks like the following bolded text:
  
  <A style="DISPLAY: none; VISBILITY: hidden" lang="en"
  class="mm_Item" href="#dateDimensions">
