Product:
IBM Cognos Controller 11.1
Microsoft Windows 2022 server

Issue:

When you check the controller com+ components, you get a error in the web browser like this:

Server Error in ‘/’ Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /ibmcognos/controllerserver/ccrws.asmx

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.8.4494.0

 

Solution:

You may not have created the virtual directory’s correct under the virtual directory IBMCOGNOS, therefor they are not visible.

Create the cognos controller directory’s in correct place.

Then when the test works, it should look similar to this:

http://nameofyourserver/ibmcognos/controllerserver/ccrws.asmx

Other issues, could be, that not all files was installed. Run the installation of IBM Controller again on the server.
