Above error is found in planningerrorlog.csv when try to create a macro that access analyst files.
Cause:
The Cognos 8 Planning service is run as local system on the Windows server
Or the filesys.ini file is not using UNC path to the applications.
Solution:
Check the filesys.ini file on the Cognos planning servers, ensure that they use UNC path to the Cognos planning applications. You may need to register the planning applications again in Cognos Planning Analyst with UNC path to get this to work correctly.
Create a windows domain account that is used for the Cognos services.
The windows account must be local administrator on all Cognos servers in the solution.
Stop the Cognos 8 Planning service
Stop the Cognos 8 Bi service
Change the user from local system to the created windows service account.
Enter the password and click apply.
Start the Cognos 8 Bi service
Start the Cognos 8 Planning service
Start CAC (contributor administration console) and test again your macro.
