By default, Cognos 8 is configured to process reports and other business intelligence transactions using a standard model applicable to all applications. You can change the default processing behavior for the Cognos 8 server by modifying entries in the rsvpproperties file.
The rsvpproperties.xml.sample file is located in the c8_location/configuration directory. Depending on your specific Cognos 8 application and on the demands placed on it, changing settings in the rsvpproperties.xml file may benefit performance. Examples of settings that can be modified to enhance performance include prompt application, the burst thread model, and virtual memory.
To enable the rsvpproperties.xml.sample file, you must rename the file rsvpproperties.xml and restart Cognos 8. This activity must be conducted on all Cognos 8 servers.
Settings in the rsvpproperties.xml file are very sensitive to change. Changing these properties may greatly impact the behavior of Cognos 8. As a result, you should use discretion when changing these values. For more information, contact Cognos support.
