Configuring advanced settings globally

You can configure advanced settings globally for the whole IBM Cognos environment.

About this task

The values that you specify are acquired by all contained entries. You can override the global values by specifying custom values at the dispatcher or dispatcher 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.

You can configure advanced settings globally for the logging, tuning, environment, and administrator override categories.
