Cognos Analytics 11 returns error: Cannot open object report

Troubleshooting


Problem

Cognos Analytics 11 with a Content Manager installation/configuration launches the portal but reports cannot be interactively executed. When running a report interactively the following error is returned: Cannot open object report Another symptom is that the Report Perspective cannot be launched because the New [+] -> Report button is missing. You will see the same symptoms if trying to connect directly to the CM URI directly.
