Troubleshooting
Problem
PowerPlay client gives a PDS-RM-0002 error when opening a remote cube. The Cognos portal will be displayed but when the cube is selected in the portal it will not open and display the error.
Opening remote cubes on the PowerPlay client that is directly installed on the server site will work.
Symptom
PDS-RM-0002 The PowerPlay server is not available
