Title: Setting up Logging in Cognos Configuration
Post by: tmathew81 on 02 Jun 2011 03:05:53 PM
Cognos Configuration was initially setup to log to a SQL database called 'C10_Logs'. I made a backup of this database and restored it with a new name called 'Audit'. I then changed the logging database name in Cognos Configuration to be 'Audit' and restarted the services.

However, the 'Audit' database is not being updated with the latest information. As a test, I log in and out of Cognos Connection on 6/2/2011 at 4:00pm and then I run the following script against the 'Audit' database

select max(COGIPF_LOCALTIMESTAMP) from COGIPF_USERLOGON

and the resulting date/time is back when I created the 'Audit' database. However, if I run the same query against the old database 'C10_Logs', I get the date/time of my login from my test (6/2/2011, 4:00pm)

What do I need to do to switch Cognos Configuration to point to the new database 'Audit'?

Thanks,
Tom

Does the id in your configuration have the correct permissions on the new db?
