Unable to run Cognos Analytics reports after updating a system which was previously using the Log4JSafeAgent.jar manual remediation.

Troubleshooting


Problem

After a new interim fix or fix pack is applied to an environment, which previously had the Log4JSafeAgent.jar remediation applied, no reports are able to be run in Dynamic Query Mode. In addition, data sources are unable to be tested successfully.

Symptom

Error messages running reports or testing data sources:
DPR-ERR-2072 Unable to load balance a request with absolute affinity, most likely due to a failure to connect to the remote dispatcher. See the remote dispatcher detailed logs for more information. Check the health status of the installed system by using the dispatcher diagnostics URIs
DPR-ERR-2002 Unable to execute the request because there was no process available within the configured time limit.
