Troubleshooting
Problem
Administrator logs onto the application server, and starts the 'IBM Cognos' Windows service. Afterwards, administrator opens the Windows Event Viewer 'Application Log'. There is an error entry in there. A similar error occurs when the service is stopped.

Cause
Limitation (reference APAR PM20317) of Cognos BI engine.
- This limitation is triggered by Microsoft DEP.
More Information:
When the Cognos BI engine starts, it runs a process called 'cogbootstrapservice.exe'. Microsoft Windows DEP monitors this process, and creates an entry in the Event Viewer log.
- However, the Cognos BI engine is unaffected - it continues to start/work OK.
Resolving The Problem
Fix:
Ignore the error - it is benign.
Workaround:
Disable Microsoft DEP on the Controller application server.
