Manage Past Activities

Past activities are entries that have finished processing in IBM® Cognos® software.

Each entry is listed by name and shows the request time and the status. You can sort the Request time and Status columns. The bar chart shows the total number of entries, broken down by status. If an entry has failed, a button appears showing the severity of the error.

You can filter the entries to display only those you want. You can choose to view a list of activities that occurred over a specified length of time, such as the last four hours or the last day, or you can specify a date or time range. You can filter by status, type, and scope.

You can view the run history View the Run History for Entries.
