Stop the dispatchers from Cognos server group dedicated for processing dynamic cubes, leave only the dispatcher that is used in Cognos Configuration for Cognos Dynamic Cube Designer "Dispatcher URI for external applications" running. 
Test running Cognos dynamic cube reports.

Resolving The Problem

  1. In Cognos Administration unregister the all of the dispatchers from Cognos server group dedicated for processing dynamic cubes, leave the only dispatcher that is used in Cognos Configuration for Cognos Dynamic Cube Designer "Dispatcher URI for external applications" as registered.
