"Field does not exist in the Framework Manager model" after some time minutes running an "Import from Framework Manager"

Screen:

Information
Field does not exist in the Framework Manager model.
[OK]

Event Viewer (Application log) on Controller application server:

Warning ... VBRUNTIME ... Event ID: 1

The VB Application identified by the event source logged this Application FrDImportBT: Thread...
... Error No=-2147221315, Source=DIengine:ReportError#clsDIengine.AdjustFieldInfo#clsDIengine.InitImport, Description=PERIOD, HelpFile=HelpContext=0

There are several possible causes for the same screen message.

• TIP: For more examples, see separate IBM Technote #1470842.

This Technote specifically relates to the scenario where the cause is a code production (reference APAR PM70221) problem in Controller.

Cognos BI (Report Server) configured to use standard (non-anonymous) authentication.

• In other words, inside "Cognos Configuration" the value of "Allow Anonymous Access" is set to "False".

Fix:

Upgrade to Controller 10.1.1 FP1 (10.1.1671) or later.

Workarounds:

• Method #1

Reconfigure Cognos Configuration to use anonymous access.
NOTE: Be aware that this will affect your security design.

• Method #2 (Recommended)

Reconfigure Controller application server to use different (older) version of "FrDImportBT.dll".

NOTE: This has not been 100% tested by IBM R&D and therefore there may be unforseen consequences of using this. Therefore, please contact IBM Support for advice before using this method.
