How to make Cognos return the complete message instead of the CAF error

Troubleshooting


Problem

Error Message: DPR-ERR-2082 An error has occurred. Please contact your administrator. The complete error has been logged by CAF with SecureErrorID: timestamp-#number

Symptom

This error message does not indicate a Cognos Application Firewall (CAF) error, but rather a default error message which is shown instead of the real error for security reasons.

Resolving The Problem

The Capabilities tool controls access to Cognos secured functions.
To see the detailed error in the CAF error message you grant the user permission to the "Detailed Errors" Capability.

Navigate to Cognos Administration, Security tab, Capabilities, Detailed Errors, Set Properties, Permissions.

Grant the user, group or role Execute permission for Detailed Errors.
