Specifying Cognos Mobile advanced settings

You can configure IBM® Cognos® Mobile advanced settings globally for all services, for a specific dispatcher, or for a specific Mobile service.

When the settings are configured globally, the values that you specify are acquired by all instances of the Mobile service. You can override the global values by specifying custom values at the dispatcher or Mobile service level.

If the configuration entry contains child entries with settings that override the global settings, the custom settings on the child entries can be reset to use the default values. To reset the value of any setting to its default, delete the setting.
