Set the Report Size Limit for the Report Data Service To limit the resources, such as memory, that are used by Report data service, IBM® Cognos® software restricts the size of the report data that can be sent out. If you receive errors in IBM Cognos for Microsoft® Office that a report result is too large, you can increase the size limit for report data by changing the Governor limit setting. The maximum execution time setting has priority over this setting.
