Update Notification: RTS/Cognos Reporting Issues: Workaround (07/14/2022 5:20 PM)

Good afternoon,

We are aware that users are experiencing issues when requesting Cognos reports, despite
refreshing the report request or starting a new session.  We are also aware that some users
are able to generate reports, but only after several attempts.  Users are reporting a
"Can't display page" error message while trying to run reports and/or while trying to
return to the Home Page on the Cognos portal.

Please be assured that Support staff are working to resolve the issue.
