Cognos server performance tunning

[simi123]

MFGF - So far, we are logging into one server which is http://<server A Name>/ibmcognos, even from different machine.
Everyone is accessing the same.

Please let me know, which one is good to configure and making big trouble?

Ok - so you want to be able to connect to essentially a single instance of Cognos 10 split across two servers. That seems to be what you are saying.

You need to do as I suggested. Have a single content store database defined on one server, and in the environment of the second server point the content manager URI back to the first server. The second server will not have a Content Store defined. You will need to start the Cognos 10 service on the first server before you start the Cognos 10 service on the second.

MFGF - But, without content store can't save the configuration and start the the service in different machine which is server B.

How can I do this situation?

[simi123]

Please anyone help me,,,I am in the initail stage..


computer:1
Cognos server, FM, Webserver
In Cognos Configuration:

For Content Store
Type- MS SQL Server DB
Host:port- localhost:1452
user Creadential
DB Nmae - CM

Computer 2
Cognos Server, FM, Webserver
In Cognos Configuration:

For Content Store
Type- MS SQL Server DB
Host:port- <Computer 1 name>t:1452
user Creadential
DB Nmae - CM


Now the problem is when I restart the service in cognos configuration on computer 1, I am getting error like

To see which JVM options are based on this setting, view ibmcognos_location/bin/bootstrap_<OS>.xml and see your JVM documentation for an explanation of those options.

Can anyone  please rectify this issue.


Thanks in advance,

MFGF - But, without content store can't save the configuration and start the the service in different machine which is server B.

How can I do this situation?

Yes you can. You need to remove the crypto keys from server B and start with a clean config on that machine. We already discussed how you can do this. Point the content manager URI at Machine A when you define the environment, and remove the content store from B.

Can you please tell me the steps to point the content manager URI and remove the content store.

I have question regarding removing the content store from server B.
because, without one conetent store we cant start the service in cognos configuration right?

Please let me know about all.


Thanks,
Simi

[MFGF]

Hi,

I already detailed this. In the Environment section, set the Content Manager URI to point to Server A

Go to the Content Store section and delete the Content Store entry. If the Content Manager is running on Server A you will be able to save. If you get errors saying the cryptographic keys cannot be generated, close the config, remove the csk, encryptkeypair and signkeypair folders, rename cogstartup.xml to cogstartup.old and go back into Cognos Configuration. Set up the environment from scratch with the content manager uri pointing to server A. Delete the Content Store entry. Save. Start

It's a little alarming that you don't appear to understand how the architecture of your Cognos implementation works. Are you the person responsible for setting it up? What training have you taken to prepare yourself for the task? Is your company relying on your knowledge of the arcitecture to maintain a stable Cognos instance?

MF.

[simi123]

I am not responsible for setting up..But, Somehow, I have involved with the reponsible person..
I don't how he was doing? Its like all collapsing after implemented AD namespace. So, gettting confusing here and there.

But, now when I start the Server , the only message is still appearing like
14:08:17, 'LogService', 'StartService', 'Success'.
After that the service is not started.

What could be the reason.

Thanks,
Simi

Hi Simi,

It will be great if you follow install and config guide once. All the guides provided by IBM are very good and easily understandable. Just go through it once. It will require only 1 or 2 hrs to read it carefully.

Even after following the concerned guides if you face any problem, we are very happy to help you to make it work.

[simi123]

Thanks Sunosoft,

I appriciate you for encouraging me to study those materials instead of asking like Are you responsible for setting up? or Is your company relying on your knowledge of the arcitecture to maintain a stable Cognos instance?


Once again thanks for your suggestion.

Hi,

In your configuration on Server B, select "IBM Cognos Services" and see if the 'Content Manager Service Enabled' setting is still set to "True". If it is, set it to "False" and save and try starting again.

If this doesn't work, tell us what URI values you have defined in the Environment section...

It seems pretty clear that you are in over your head on this task, so someone asking about your role and suggesting training is no surprise. I would suggest you engage some services people to come in and help you. There are lots of great firms out there who could assist with getting things up and running for you and provide some hands-on training at the same time.

Posting a "dig" at someone who has responded with specific answers and actionable suggestions over multiple threads on numerous occasions trying to help you out isn't really the best way to go, don't you think?

MFGF - The problem is solved for now.

Actually, I stopped the service and close the cognos configuration and start the new instance and save, restarted the service then worked..

Thanks for your support! :)
