Restrict user for running big reports

[workingOnCognos]

Hi,

Few beginners in my group are running report w/o filters causing large output. Is there any way I can restrict it ? say when report output size goes above 3MB. Execution should be terminated. If possible with message saying that "large report..contact admin"

Thanks

There are Governor settings available in the model or on individual RS queries that allow you to set:
1. Maximum Rows Retrieved
2. Maximum Tables
3. Maximum Execution Time

... but nothing for "size" as I am not sure how Cognos would quantify the size of a request's ultimate result.
