How to export/import the whole of the server configuration settings

Troubleshooting


Problem

When you make numerous server configuration changes to individual services i.e. increasing High/Low Affinity, # of Processes etc., you cannot export them when performing a full contentstore deployment. How can you export/import the whole of the server configuration settings?

Resolving The Problem

Add the following Advanced Setting to the CM Service (you will need set policy rights):
CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION

Steps:

  1. On the portal toolbar, click IBM Cognos Administration.
  2. Under Configuration, select Dispatchers and Services, and click on your dispatcher.
  3. Find the Content ManagerService, click More... and then Set properties.
  4. Click Settings, then Edit... next to Advanced settings.
  5. Select the Override the settings acquired from the parent entry check box.
  6. In the Parameter column that appears, type the following in uppercase:
    CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION
  7. In the Value column, type: true
  8. Click OK to finish.
  9. Restart your Cognos services and then perform your full contentstore export. When you then import this into a new or the same server, it will retain the server settings as previously set before the export.
