Disable Support for Trigger-based Scheduling

By default, trigger-based scheduling is enabled. An occurrence acts as a trigger, causing the report to run. You can disable this feature by modifying the system.xml file.

Procedure

  1. Stop the IBM® Cognos® service.
  2. Open the c10_location/templates/ps/portal/system.xml file in an XML or text editor.
  3. Locate the following XML code in the system element:
    <param name="enable-trigger-support"> 
      true
    </param>
    <param name="enable-trigger-tab"> 
      true
    </param>
  4. Change the value of both trigger parameters from true to false.

    The XML code should appear as follows:

    <param name="enable-trigger-support">
      false
    </param>
    <param name="enable-trigger-tab"> 
      false
    </param>
  5. Save the file.
  6. Start the IBM Cognos service.

Results

The By Trigger tab on the Schedule page no longer appears. Entries that are already scheduled for trigger-based scheduling continue to run, but no further trigger scheduling can occur while support is disabled.
