Problem Description
Contract Connection Reports in RME uses certain URLs in Cisco.com to fetch the data associated with the contract specified by the user. The Contract Connection module within Cisco.com has now migrated to a new environment which mandates user authentication before returning the contract data. The existing Contract Connection Reports in RME will fail to generate the desired report as the URL used for communicating with Cisco.com has been modified.
