PH41377: SOME COGNOS REPORTS WILL NOT DISPLAY IN OPENPAGES TASK UI

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Certain Cognos reports will not load properly within OpenPages.
  This is due to security conflicts with the page content origin
  being a separate server, which is not allowed by many browsers.
  This will still work for most reports, but those with
  interactive prompts may lead to security errors from the
  browser.
  

Local fix

• Open the report from the Cognos UI or use the standard UI
  Reporting menu
