Schedules
To keep Cognos running smoothly...
● Staggering Schedules○ If multiple schedules start at the same time, do not set more than 5
to run within each 10 minute block of time○ If possible, do not schedule first thing in the morning
■ Consider late morning or afternoon
● If Cognos resources become taxed, the BICC may need to rebalance schedules
○ If this is needed, we will notify the schedule’s owner
● Setting up a job can assist in timing schedules appropriately
