Hi Users,

Does Cogserver.log save information for

1. Activity /reports run from My folders on the cognos connection
2. Analysis studio queries?

If it doesn't where is this information stored to troubleshoot any failures or long running queries?

Hi,

Typically you would add an Audit database to your instance and configure auditing to start collecting activity on the server.

There is a way to figure out which queries/containers are taking how much time which might tell you which queries are slow (presuming you have multiple queries and are trying to find out which ones are the culprit).

Turn on the Diagnostic Logging and enable 'Include Performance Details' in the report run options.

Run the report and it will show you which list/crosstab/chart took how much time.

Thank You all for your response. An Audit DB is not configured. One of the queries caused a lock on the DB tables. So we are
unable to figure out the user that ran the report.
