Error description
In Cognos 11, when a layout calculation is put to the new report dashboard with expression ServerName (), it no longer returns a value like how it used to on Cognos 10. Instead it returns a blank output. This seems to be an issue only when the report is run with full interactivity (ie. new UI/authoring). If interactivity is disabled, the servername is returned as expected. However, instead of returning the IP of the gateway, it returned the IP of the dispatcher. This behavior is inconsistent with Cognos 10.
Local fix
Duplicate the resource referred by the URI to both gateway and dispatcher
