Title: IWR Reports waiting status
Post by: Dev1975 on 13 Mar 2014 05:01:35 AM
Hello all,

Hopefully this should be a straight-ahead query...when reports enter a "Waiting" state in IWR, is this recorded or held anywhere, other than in the Cognos Administration screen? Reason for asking is that I want to be able to automate a script that will trigger an e-mail or notification to let the administrator know that there is a report waiting in the queue.

Any info greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Dev

Further to this, a lot of the time reports that have been "Cancelled" simply hang around in the queue and prevent other reports from running. I know the process to re-create the job database and "flush" the queues but is there a reason why these cancelled jobs get stuck in the first place? Is there any way of implementing a root cause fix instead of following reactive steps to clear the job database everytime it happens?
