Warning Message Appears When Excel Opens an IBM Cognos Business Intelligence Report
Each time the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software opens
an IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence report, a warning
message appears.
The warning message is as follows:
Some of the files in this Web page are not in the expected location. Do you want to download them anyway? If you are sure the Web page is from a trusted source, click Yes.
The Excel workbook in HTML/XML format requires the presence of the file filelist.xml. IBM Cognos BI does not allow the creation of local files on the client side. In addition, a local file that contains URLs introduces a security issue. Consequently, this message will appear whenever you open an IBM Cognos BI report in Excel. If you see this error message, click Yes to open the report.
