Configuring advanced settings for specific dispatchers

You can configure advanced settings for a specific dispatcher. This allows you to specify customized configuration settings for the dispatcher that override the global configuration settings specified for the IBM Cognos environment.

About this task

If the dispatcher contains child entries with settings that override the global settings, you can reset the custom settings on the child entries to use the default values

You can specify advanced settings at a dispatcher level for the following categories: logging, tuning, and environment.

Important: Certain advanced settings associated with the environment category cannot be specified at the dispatcher level. They must be specified globally, or for a dispatcher service.

For more information, see Configuring advanced settings globally and Configuring advanced settings for specific services
