Cause

There are many potential causes for the generic message "Could not create the view".

  • TIP: For more examples, see separate IBM Technote #1612000.

This IBM Technote specifically relates to the scenario where the error message contains the message " Automation error The service did not start due to a logon failure".
  • In this scenario, the cause is that an incorrect user and/or password has been used for the Windows service "IBM Cognos Controller Java Proxy".

Modify the username/password used for Windows service "IBM Cognos Controller Java Proxy", running on the Controller application server.


Steps:

  1. Logon to the Controller application server as a Windows administrator
  2. Right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage"
  3. Expand "Services and Applications" and "Services"
  4. Double-click on "IBM Cognos Controller Java Proxy"
  5. Click tab "Log On"
  6. Modify the settings for "Log on as" as appropriate. In other words, choose "This account" and modify user to a Windows user who is a local administrator on the application server (typically the same as the "COM+ user")
  7. Click OK
  8. Click "General" tab.
  9. Click "Stop"
  10. Click "Start"
  11. Test.
