Title: reject file location

Hi

Is it possible to set a default directory for the reject files, without having to change each fact build individually ?

Thanks :)

Within the Performance Apps IBM Cognos make use of an environment variable called "REJECTFILE_ENV_VAR" to set a path to the reject files (this is done within the environment variables for the user). Each build then references a parameter called {$REJECTFILE_ENV_VAR} that is replaced with the respective path at runtime. So, a build that loads sales might have the following on the Input tab > "Write any rejected records to:" field: {$REJECTFILE_ENV_VAR}\sales.rej

Hope this helps ...

Hi,

If memory serves, the reject files are created by default in the Data folder. You can modify the location of this using Cognos Configuration, or by setting the DS_DATA_DIR variable.
