Setting a lease key

IBM® Cognos® Mobile uses the concept of a lease to govern access to data that is stored on mobile devices.

Data is leased from the server for a length of time controlled by the IBM Cognos administrator through the server setting named Maximum number of hours to access Mobile local data stored on a device. This setting specifies the maximum amount of time that a user can access data on a mobile device that is not in contact with the server. For example, the device is offline or out of wireless range. If the device is unable to renew its lease within the specified period of time, the data on the device becomes inaccessible. Valid range of values for this setting, in hours, is 0 to 8760. The default is 36 hours. The value of 0 disables the lease key mechanism. For information about specifying this setting, see Configuring Cognos Mobile services.
