Title: Cognos Schedules of Deleted Users
Post by: Lokesh Reddy on 25 Jul 2024 08:44:52 AM
Dear All,

I would like to know if we Delete User Profile from Cognos by going to Administration Console -> Security Tab -> LDAP Namespace -> Find User -> Click on more option -> Delete This User's Profile............,

Will the schedules of this deleted user gets removed automatically?

Yes.  Cognos should delete all objects in the hierarchy.  If you are concerned, delete items in order.  But that's a lot of work.

As Doug says, doing things this way should remove all schedules, My Content objects etc for the user. If you need to retain stuff in the user's My Content area, you should copy it out to the Team Content area before you remove the user profile.

Cheers!
