Reports performance tracking/montoring

[Olivier]

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution/way to monitor Cognos reports response time/performance.

Audit tables (cogipf_runreport) gives report execution time once report is submitted, but it doesn't take into account gateway response time, network latency, queue waiting time, ... so, if you compare audit table vs what you'd be monitoring using a stopwatch, there could be several seconds of difference.

I'd like to be able to simulate/automate what user would have as response time between the moment he clicks on the "link" to run the report and the moment he gets results displayed on his screen.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Cognos itself is not going to be aware of things outside it's purview. I would be more inclined to see if web and/or server logs might be able to provide that kind of round-trip measurement.

If this is for QA/load testing, any decent client-side testing tool will provide this information.

You might be able to do something with JMeter.
This is about stability testing (for 10.2.1) but you can adapt it to performance testing also:

Thank you both for your replies,
I'll give a look to JMeter.
