In our cognos application server the exe ( BmtMDproviderMain.exe) is running in task manager . It uses cognos servrice uid. Can any one say what exactly it is ASAP? any other impact on this ?
Hi there.
This particular process is an integral component of the IBM Cognos Services. Its used as part of the process to make connection with the data source for ostensibly an ETL process. Its called as part of the dispatcher process control.
IBM Cognos may give you a more comprehensive answer but the above is a summary in short on the BmtMDproviderMain process.
It runs as the Cognos ID because its part of the c8 service startup, so if you have set the c8 services to run a a domain account then you will see the the BmtMDproviderMain process under this account in the task manager.
Its vital to Cognos so dont kill it.
Cheers
