Using the Cognos Adapter

Monitoring Cognos Jobs



By default, all values are inclusive. For exclusive values, precede the value with a tilde ~.



Spaces are always included in the values. 



Do not use quotes.



Set the display name for a parameter using the {display-value} prefix.

For example:

{Q1}[all].[2008].[20081],{Q2}[all].[2008].[20082]

{Q3}~[all].[2008].[20083]



For ranges of values:

Use > [inclusive] or < [exclusive] between beginning and ending values of range.

Use > [inclusive] or < [exclusive] before an end value with an unbounded begin value.

Use > [inclusive] or < [exclusive] after a begin value with an unbounded end value.

For example:

1000>2000,1100<~1200 (excludes 1100 to 1199)



For hierarchical parameters, start with 

/ and /<level>/ before each tree subnode

For example: 

/Root/1/Europe/2/Italy/3/Florence/3/Rome/3/Milan/2/UK/3/London/1/Americas/2/United States/3/New 

York/3/San Francisco

Click 

 to save the override parameters.

Optionally, use the check boxes at the bottom of the Connection Definition panel as follows:



Run in Background (Save History) Option

Select the Run in Background (Save History) option to create history in the content store for this job. 

If you disconnect from Cognos, your job can be recovered when you reconnect and resume.

To reduce overhead and improve performance, Cognos suggests that you select this option only for critical 

jobs and/or long-running jobs. Do not select this option for jobs that are easily recovered through a rerun.



Burst Report Option

Select the Burst Report option if you want to run a report once and then divide the results for distribution to recipients 
who each receive only a subset of the data. This option is only available for reports that have been designed for 
bursting.

Click 

 to save the job.

Monitoring Cognos Jobs

As Cognos tasks run as pre-scheduled or event-based jobs, you can monitor the jobs as you would any other type of 
job in CWA using the 

 dialog. You can also use Business Views to monitor job activity and view when the 

jobs are active (see the Cisco Workload Automation User Guide for instructions on using Business Views).

In the 

 pane, select 

to display the 

pane.
