Testing the Cognos Connection

You can test whether the connection to the Cognos (Flexera Analytics) server is working correctly from within the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications interface.

To test the connection to the Cognos server:

2. Click Test Connection.

A message is displayed at the top of the page, to indicate whether the connection is working or—if the connection is not working—to provide diagnostic information about the potential connection issue.
