Customer upgraded Connections from 4.5 CR5 to 5.0 CR2 and also introduced Cognos with the new environment. After migrating the data I tried to run the “build-all.bat” script to recreate all cube data. However that script failed without any meaningful error message.
I then ran the “config-installation-verify.bat” script and I got a failed message for the Transformer component. This time I got the following error in the transformer verify log:

This seemed to be a problem which was already introduced after upgrading 4.5 CR4 to CR5 but was not visible because the customer did not have installed Cognos in the old 4.5 environment.
To solve the issue we run a “cognos-configure-update.bat” (make sure the “cognos-setup.properties” contains the correct uernames and passwords for the database uses). After that the “build-all.bat” script was running sccessfully.
