Troubleshooting
Problem
User launches "IBM Cognos FAP" from the start menu. The Controller "Financial Analytics Publisher" (FAP) Window appears. User starts an initial publish. User clicks the 'logs' tab. After a few seconds, an error appears ("Could not login to TM1") in the 'log' tab (of the FAP GUI). If the user hovers their mouse over this message, then the error 'SystemServerNotFound' appears.

Cause
There are many different possible causes for similar errors.
- TIP: See Technote #1664572 for more examples.
This Technote specifically relates to the scenario where the cause is that the customer mistakenly has 2 (or more) application servers with FAP services pointing to the same FAP database.
Example:
The customer has a separate server (with another Windows FAP service) located somewhere else (on the same network). This second server's FAP service is also configured to connect to the same FAP database (as the first server).
Diagnosing The Problem
Check other host machines on the network.
- Have they got a FAP service running?
- Is the FAPService.properties file (by default, located here: \Program Files\ibm\cognos\ccr_64\server\FAP) showing the same database name and location?
Resolving The Problem
Ensure that only each FAP database is only accessed by one application server's FAP service.
