Specifying that report specifications are not archived

By default, report specification output is archived. Report specifications describe how data was generated within a report.

To turn off the archiving of report specifications, you must modify two files: CM.xml, and either CM_FILENET.xml or CM_CM8.xml, depending on whether you archive your content to an IBM® FileNet® Content Manager repository or an IBM Content Manager 8 repository.

Procedure

Go to the c10_location/webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF/repositories/config directory.
Using an XML text editor, open the CM.xml file.
Comment out or remove the following line: <property name="specifications"metadataPropertyName="specification" useTempFile="true"
Save and close the file.
Go to the c10_location/webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF/repositories/config directory.
Do one of the following steps:
- If you archive your content to FileNet, open the file named CM.FILENET.xml in a text editor.
- If you archive your content to IBM Content Manager 8, open the file named CM.xml in a text editor.

Comment out or remove the following element:

<property repositoryName="REPORTEXECUTIONSPECIFICATION" repositoryType="ASSOCIATED" 
metadataPropertyName="specification">
								<associatedObjectTypes>
									 <objectType name="VERSIONSPECIFICATION">
										 <properties>
											<property repositoryName="cmis:name" repositoryType="STRING" 
metadataPropertyName="reportVersionDefaultName"  valueHandler="com.cognos.cm.
repositoryPluginFramework.
PropertyValueAppendStringHandler" valueHandlerArgument="_specification"/>
										</properties>
									</objectType>
								</associatedObjectTypes> 
							</property>

Note: In the CM.xml file, the objectType name value is <objectType name="$t!-2_VERSIONSPECIFICATIONv-1">.

Restart background activities on the Content Manager service. For more information, see the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence Administration and Security Guide.
