Content Store Maintenance on External Namespaces
When you delete users in your authentication provider, the user account information remains in the content store. You can use the IBM Cognos Administration to find user information that still exists in the content store and fix the content store by deleting any users that do not exist in your external namespaces. You can also delete individual user profiles from the content stores.
If you want to run a content maintenance task on more than one namespace, do one of the following:
- If you want to run the content maintenance task now, simply log on to the namespaces and create the content maintenance task.
- If you want to schedule a content maintenance task to run in the
future or on a recurring basis, keep in mind that a scheduled content
maintenance task runs against the namespaces that you select when
you create the content maintenance task. Before you schedule a content
maintenance task, ensure that your credentials contain logon information
for each namespace by renewing the credentials after you log on to
every namespace that you select to run the content maintenance task
against.
Tip: Click My Area Options, My Preferences, click the Personal tab, and then click Renew the credentials.
You must have access permissions for each selected external namespace and read permissions for all user accounts in each external namespace. If you do not have read permissions for a user account, it is assumed that the user was deleted from the namespace. When you run a content maintenance job, the user information in the content store is either listed as inconsistent (for Find only or automatically deleted (for Find and fix).
You must have the required permissions to access IBM Cognos Administration. For more inforamtion, see Secured Functions and Features.
