Setting routing keywords for server groups

You can set routing keywords for server groups.

Procedure

  1. In IBM Cognos Administration, on the Configuration tab, click Dispatchers and Services.
    The dispatchers and any configuration folders that have been created are shown.
    Tip: You can only apply routing rules to server groups. Server groups are a property of dispatchers or configuration folders, and must be set up before you can set routing keywords for server groups. For more information, see Setting server group names for advanced dispatcher routing.
  2. Click the specify routing rules button Specify routing rules icon.

    The Specify the routing rules page appears.

  3. Click Add a rule.
  4. Select the Package routing set, Group routing set, Role routing set, and Server group that you want.
  5. In the Actions column, click the View the members button to see an overview of the members.
  6. To change the order of routing rules, click Modify the sequence, and then the item you want to move and click Up, Down, To top, or To bottom.

    Note: Unlike routing keywords, the order in which the routing rules are listed affects how they are applied. A rule is matched when properties associated with the package and/or the user or group involved in the request satisfy the criteria of the rule. The rules are evaluated in order until the first one is matched, and the request is routed to the server group named by the first rule that was matched. You can change the order of the rules by clicking Modify the sequence.

  7. Click OK.
