Cognos worked perfectly. But for reasons, we changed the addressing plan of the network (IPs servers, domain name).
So, cognos and datastage don't worked. I don't know how we change or modify the domain name in cognos configuration.
Cognos is wedbased tool. So, we configure server ip and domain name in cognos configuration. I think previously its configured correctly now you changed to another server but you not updated in cognos configuration,
Reference for cognos configuration as below

I would like to access the SQL reports in the SQL reporting server using a hostname (DNS) instead of the server name.
I have added A record in the DNS server mapped to the IP of the reporting server. named as reports.xxx.com
now I tried to access the reports using this name http://reports.xxx.com/reports instead of http://server-name/reports but it does not work.
I have tried to add the hostname in the configuration of the Reporting server but it does not work.
Also, I have added a certificate to the server to access the reports using https but it does not work too.
Have you added the domain you're trying to access (e.g. reports.xxx.com) to your vhosts and pointed it to the correct location for the site?
i am trying to get a database connection through my IIS with an MVC Webproject.
In my Web.conf connection string i use following parameters:
data source=[Computername]\[DatabaseInstanceName]
This doesn't work for me.But when change the [Computername] to my IP-Adress it works.
Somebody with an idea what i can do? Because it's annoying to change this everyday in several files.
edit: i am using the IIS 8
There are several ways I verify my connection
1) If you are using visual studio,
a) on the Data menu click on Transact-SQL Editor and check this dialog
b) Another trick is I try to create a datasource, follow the dialog box and copy the connection string that Visual Studio generate
c) If look at the Server Explorer and you can find your database there, right click the database and click Properties
The computername needs to be accessible to the machine. Currently only the IP address works because nothing is telling the system that myComputerName is the machine located at the IP address.
You can either add an entry to your hosts file or to a local DNS server if one is used. If adding to your hosts file (it'll be somewhere like C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) and you'll need run your text editor as an Administrator. The entry will look something like this:
192.168.1.1 JSCWorkstation
(obviously change the IP and computer name to your actual values. If the database is running on the same machine as the application you can use the local loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the IP for the entry.
If you are in an environment with a local DNS server you can ask an administrator to add a similar entry in the DNS server.
Once this is done your machine can be found by name rather than by IP address. You can test by opening up a command prompt and typing
ping myComputername. If you get a reply, all is well.
I'm trying to configure Reporting Services on a dev server so we can use it for development, but it is not working out for me. When I try to access the Reports page, I get the following error:
User 'ServerName/UserName' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
I'm not sure what I need to do to fix this, does Reporting Services need a virtual directory? If so, does anybody have a link on how to configure it? When I created the ReportingServices database, it made me a dbo by default, I'm a sysadmin on sql Server, so the permissions should be good.
I'm running sql server 2008 R2
I figured this out by going to the report manager on the server hosting reporting services by using the link http://localhost/reports. Once I was there then I clicked on home and configured the permissions.
Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
If you are running IE on the server on which you installed SSRS, make sure that you right click and run IE as administrator.
Have you tried this from other machines? IF you are getting the same results from multiple machines, then go through the steps in Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 -> Configuration Tools -> Reporting Services Configuration Manager. Here you can reset most of the basic SSRS configuration.
You don't need a virtual directory: SSRS no longer uses IIS: it is built directly on http.sys.
I have a SQL 2008 developer edition with SSRS and the report manager is only available from the local machine. If I try to access it from any other machine I get challenged for my domain u/name and pwd 3 times and then the screen stays blank.
I have made changes to some config files (originals copied out) in order to get a 3rd party application to run but that is now uninstalled and the config files are all back to vanilla (originals copied back in)
I feel its something to do with authentication but am stuck ...
any suggestions welcomed

I have just stumbled on the answer.
I changed the Report Server Service Account to use the built-in Local System account and its all accessible from remote browsers.
Anyone any ideas why?
You may need to change the SSRS Configuration (through the GUI) (Start - Microsoft SQL Server 2008 - Configuration Tools - Reporting Services Configuration Manager) and set it to allow connections from outside the box it is on.
Also don't forget that it's using domain credentials / local machine credentials, so if you're not on a domain, you'll have to provide credentials to log onto that machine (i.e. MACHINE1 where SSRS is installed, from MACHINE2, log on with MACHINE1\username and password for MACHINE1).
Or you may need to open up your SQL Server instance to permit connections from other boxes.
In SQL 2005 Reporting services we were able to spoof a user when calling a report. This doesn't seem to work in 2008 and the technet articles that appear relevant seem to be implying that you need to create a seperate security extension( Technet Article )if you're wanting to expose reports to the internet. Is this what people are using in production? Or is this simpler than I'm makint it out to be?
Not sure what you mean by "spoof a user".
Every version of SSRS to date has used Windows Authentication as the default (and in fact the only "out of the box") authentication scheme. If you wanted to do Forms Authentication you have always had to write your own Custom Authentication Module.
I have done both in Production environments depending on the situation, and their sample is a very good place to start building your own custom auth module
Simple Solution
in the rsreportserver.config add in the the Windows Basic Authentication:
Install apache >= 2.2 in the same machine (use other port than 80 for ReportServer) or on a other machine
activate mod_prox_http
Create a Browser User for Reporting service (for example "reportusr" with password "this#yourMachinepassw0rd")
define in http.conf
ProxyPass http:///ReportServer
ProxyPassReverse http:///ReportServer
AuthBasicFake reportusr this#yourMachinepassw0rd
Order deny allow
Allow from all
Now you can access the reportserver and all Reports over the apache Webserver with no authentication, because always the AuthBasicFake user connects to the reportServer with BasicAuthentication
