How to perform a UDA trace for a Compatibility Query Mode datasource in Cognos 10

Question & Answer


Question

The method for performing a UDA trace is different in Cognos 10 to previous versions due to the removal of the Cognos Logging Console Program. This is specific to CQM datasources.

Answer

Please follow these steps:

- Navigate to <cognos location>/configuration
- Rename ipfUDAclientconfig.xml.sample it to ipfclientconfig.xml
- Wait 30 seconds
- Now run any reports that you wish to use the trace on.
- After running the reports the trace will generate a file named "UDA_Trace.log" within <cognos location>/logs. The log name and location can be changed by the user by editing the ipfclientconfig.xml file.
- Rename ipfclientconfig.xml to ipfUDAclientconfig.xml.sample to turn off the tracing.

This trace records all database activity so should be turned off as soon as the possible.
