Configuring Cognos registry parameters

These registry entries control tracing intervals for Cognos SQL statements and should be reviewed and adjusted as required.

To view these parameters, navigate through Maintenance > System Administration > Registry Maintenance and then navigate to the location specified for the registry entries.

This table show details of the registry entries:

Registry Name Location Valid Value Type Default Description
cognosDatabaseTraceDelay /system/WORKBRAIN_PARAMETERS Integer (seconds) 20 Specifies the delay required to extract report trace queries from the Workforce Management database. A delay is required since the report server does not log the requested report query SQL immediately to the logging database.
cognosPrepareServerTraceDelay /system/WORKBRAIN_PARAMETERS Integer (seconds) 60 Specifies the synchronization delay between the report server and the Workforce Management database. A delay is required because the report server does not immediately log queries to its logging database.
