Post by: dannywcw on 10 Nov 2011 02:55:25 AM
hi I'm absolutely new to Cognos. and hopefully someone can assist with my doubts below. thanks in advance
recently my manager asked me on a question about Cognos
where do cognos store its error messages?
i know it stores it at the cogserv.log
but does it store it inside the database as well?

please advice.

There is a whole set of logfiles. Some are incremental, like the main server log you mention, some only log the processes on startup, but that is it. Perhaps you should check the capabilities of the audit database. It stores information about Cognos usage
