Refine the Scope of the Index

You can control the scope of the index in different ways.

You can exclude all instances of a specific entry type from index updates. For example, you can exclude all report templates from future index updates.

You can also exclude specific entries or parts of an entry. For example, you can exclude a specific dimension in a package from future index updates.

You can include PowerPlay® cubes and reports that are not in the Cognos® content store. For example, you can index PowerPlay cubes and reports located on a different computer than any IBM® Cognos components.
