Changing data source connection settings

You can change data source connection settings by modifying the CQEConfig.xml.sample file with a text editor.

Procedure

On each computer where IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence is installed, open the c10_location/configuration/CQEConfig.xml.sample file in a text editor.
Ensure that your editor supports saving files in UTF-8 format.

Find the Timeout and PoolSize parameters and edit them as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration company="Cognos" version="#.#"
rendition="###">
  <component name="CQE">
    <section name="DBConnectionPool">
      <!-- Description: Database connection timeout.
       Default is 900 seconds (15minutes) --> 
      <entry name="Timeout" value="number_of_seconds"/>
      <!-- -->
      <!-- Description: Database connection pool size. -->
      <!-- Maximum number of connections managed by the report
           server. Default=50 -->
      <entry name="PoolSize" value="number_of_connections"/>
    </section>
  </component>
</configuration>

Save the file as CQEConfig.xml to the c10_location/configuration directory.
Using IBM Cognos Configuration, stop and then restart the IBM Cognos service.
