You can suspend activities.
For
example, if your system tends to be overloaded at certain times, you
can reduce the workload and avoid bottlenecks during these peak times
by suspending entries indefinitely or rescheduling them for a later
time.
Procedure
- If you are an administrator, from
the Launch menu, click IBM Cognos
Administration. On the Status tab,
click Upcoming Activities.
If
you are a user, in IBM® Cognos® Connection, click the
my area options button 
, click My Activities and Schedules,
and then click Upcoming Activities.
- In the Filter section, for Day select
a date, and for Status click Scheduled.
- Click Apply.
The
list shows the scheduled entries for the selected date. Because entries
are backlogged on that date, you want to suspend certain entries indefinitely
and reschedule others. You want to browse the upcoming dates in the
chart and choose another date for the suspended entries.
- In the chart, click the next and previous icons to browse
the upcoming dates. The chart shows both scheduled and canceled entries
for each day by hour.
Important: The list
of entries that appears does not change to match the date that you
select in the chart. The list of entries matches your specified filter
criteria and does not change until you specify and apply a new filter.
- In the list of scheduled entries, select the check box
for the entries that you want to suspend and click the suspend button
on the toolbar. In the Suspend Activity dialog
box,
- to suspend entries indefinitely, click Indefinitely.
- to reschedule entries to another date, click Until,
and select a date and time.
Note that both the chart and the list of entries refresh,
and the suspended entries no longer appear in the list of entries.
Tip: To suspend an individual entry, click the Actions menu
arrow for the entry, and click Suspend.
