Troubleshooting
Problem
User launches Controller client. User chooses database.
- An error appears.
The following ideas do not solve the problem:
- Deleting the Controller cache folder (%APPDATA%\Cognos\CCR)
- Deleting the Internet Explorer temporary files.
Symptom
The following error appears after selecting the database:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. --> System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at
Cognos.Controller.Proxy.ControllerReportNetService.RepNet.GetUserInfo (String sGuid, String sUser.String passportId) at

Testing the Controller Web Service URL in Internet Explorer (http://<Controller Server FQDN>/ibmcognos/controllerserver/ccrws.asmx):
