Hi,
Can someone point me in the right direction on that topic, I tried to find some script to stop start cognos server periodically , after backup was done. the os on the server side is windows 2003 server. I try to find something but nothing coming up. I also have the intuition if we can launch a script whit the executable of cognos server with argument like : "cogserver.exe start-stop" Is it possible to do that on windows. Anyway any input to reading I can done or script exemple qill greatly help me.
Thanks for your time.

The windows equivalent of stopping the service is called "net stop" (and net start to start)
lookup the full NT service name, as i don't have a BI in front of me. The full command should be something like:
Net stop "IBM Cognos 8 BI"
I was using in my server :
net stop "IBM Cognos 8"
Hi,
This is a script I use in a Bat-file scheduled in Windows that restarts the Cognos services every evening...
Echo off
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sc.exe STOP "IBM Cognos 8.4"
:Wait1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sc.exe Query "IBM Cognos 8.4" | Find /I "Stopped" > nul
If Errorlevel 1 Goto :Wait1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sc.exe START "IBM Cognos 8.4"
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sc.exe STOP "IBM Cognos 8 Planning 8.4"
:Wait
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sc.exe Query "IBM Cognos 8 Planning 8.4" | Find /I "Stopped" > nul
If Errorlevel 1 Goto :Wait
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sc.exe START "IBM Cognos 8 Planning 8.4"

Thanks every one for your help on that,
I just schedule 2 task a) netstop b)nestart an hour between each of them. and everything work find for now. MellBi thanks for the script too, I will show that to the person responsible for the windows server.
thanks again
We used the following:
NET STOP Cognos8
echo Waiting 30 seconds for shutdown...
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 -w 1000 > nul
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 30 -w 1000> nul
NET Start Cognos8
We also use a start/stop script during early monring times when data loads are being run. For us a key point was the wait time so that the Content Managers come up in the order we want them to (we want a specific server to be the primary CM and then two others to be in standby). We have a wait time of 4 minutes between starting the services on multiple servers to give time for the install that has all C8 components to fully start up.
