Problem
When creating a new metric package, the initialization completes successfully, but clicking on the Finish button on the last step of the New Metric Package Wizard results in an error.
"CMM-SYS-5999
CMM-APP-3254 The initialization of the metrics store failed
DIS-ERR-3115 The task failed
DIS-RUN-3140 Step 'Create a metric package' execution failed in package 'Metrics'"
Cause
Specific Roles/Groups need to exist for the metrics package creation wizard to complete successfully. That’s why these Roles/Groups are moved or deleted.
Resolving the problem
Restore the roles to the root of the Cognos directory.
Steps
-
In Cognos Connection, select Directory from the Tools menu.
-
In the Users, Groups, and Roles tab, click Cognos.
-
If the Consumers role does not exist, click the New Role button.
-
In the Name field, enter the text: Consumers.
-
Click OK.
-
Repeat for the roles Metrics Administrators, Metrics Authors and Metrics Users.
