Hi All,
We need to stop the cognos application during the data load process. So we stop the services.
Can we have a maintenance page which can be displayed to the users if any user hits the cognos bi web.
Is this possible in Cognos. Any sample will be highly appreciated.
Not in Cognos, but it's easier to create a small script that either displays the maintenance page or redirects the user to the Cognos page. This can be done with many web programming languages. You can control the maintenance flag either in a file or in a database table.
Hi, Are you using IIS?
I haven't tried it yet, but theoretically there's a feature in IIS called "Error Pages".
What i'm thinking is that the usual error we get if the page is down is error 404.
In this feature you can select to redirect error 404 to another URL.
maybe i'll try this one.
