Set the Report Size Limit for the Report Data Service

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. Steps 1.Start IBM Cognos Connection. 2.In the upper-right corner, click Launch, IBM Cognos Administration. 3.On the Status tab, click System. 4.In the upper-left corner of the Scorecard pane, click the arrow to view the Change view menu. Click Services, and then click Report Data. 5.Click the arrow next to ReportDataService to view the Actions menu, and then click Set properties. 6.Click the Settings tab. 7.In the Value column, change the number for Governor limit (MB). 8.Click OK.

Setting E-mail Attachment Maximum Size Configuration Parameters in Cognos 10

Setting E-mail Attachment Maximum Size Configuration Parameters In IBM® Cognos® BI, you can choose to limit the size of e-mail attachments to avoid potential problems with abnormally large items. The allowable range is from 0-2047 MB. If you do not specify a value, then Cognos Connection applies no restrictions to the size of the e-mail attachment. Before setting the e-mail size limit in Cognos Connection, you must know the e-mail size limit set in the e-mail server. The limit typically set by an e-mail server administrator is from 10 to 25 MB. If you need to deliver reports with a larger file size, consider using a different file transfer method, like FTP or secure copy. If the limit set in Cognos Connection is lower than in the e-mail server, then the Cognos Connection setting overrides the e-mail server setting. For example, if the Cognos limit is 10 MB and the e-mail server limit is 20 MB, then a 15 MB attachment will be replaced with a plain text file containing a warning mes
