WorkFileMaxSize in cognos 8.3

[Arunavo B]

Hi,

As per the cognos 8.3 documentation the WORKFILEMAXSIZE parameter can have a maximum value of 1500000000 bytes. But it is observed that it can accept a size of 2000000000 bytes and that indeed solved a cube performance issue. I'm seriously concerned if the 8.3 transformer user guide is wrongly documented. Please help.

The code internally restricts it to a maximum of 1500000000 bytes. The documentation is correct. You can put 2000000000 but it will change it to 1500000000.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. The problem didn't get solved when we used 1500000000 bytes. But it was solved using 2000000000 bytes.
