Report Output versions

[cielo]

Is there any limit to save no.of output versions in Cognos 11? How the performance will degrade if we save more no.of output versions.

Please suggest.

hi,

Not sure if there is a limit but you would need to take into account what the outputs are and how large they could be. As they quite easily start to bloat your content store.
The obvious question is do you need to keep so many saved outputs? Could your users not just rerun their reports?

Some of the freebie software that you can get can give you a view of the amount of space being taken up by saved output in your content store by user and its quite surprising to be honest when you see it.
