Live from Cognos Forum

I'm blogging from the road again and wow its hot in Las Vegas 112 degrees is the latest temperature update. I'd hate to see the air conditioning bill here at the Venetian. However based on my terrible gambling skills I guess I'm contributing to the bill. :)

Anyway, I'm here at the Cognos Forum along with 3000+ IT and business users of Cognos solutions. The event got off to a great start with opening remarks from Rob Ashe President and CEO who focused on pervasive business intelligence and Cognos's ability to deliver performance management accross the enterprise. He also spent sometime showing attendees his desktop and how he uses Cognos to manage the company.

Les Rechan, Chief Operating Officer who joined Cognos about 30 days ago. Changed his title on the fly and declared he's now the Chief Customer Officer and pledged his support to insure the success of Cognos clients.

I've seen some friends already Composite Software, Teradata, TekSouth, Wayne Eckerson form TDWI and of course a bunch of folks from Cognos. This should be a fun event.

Hello, we are running Cognos 7.3 and having some performance issue. What I have found is that:
1) there are many PPDSWEB.exe instants in Windows Process Manager, are these for cache purpose?
2) when I run a cube, the CPU % jumps up to 25% of one PPDSWEB.exe instant and lasts for about 20 seconds. My question is: why the CPU is not going over 25% and finishs in a shorter period of time, for example, CPU 99% and finish in 2 seconds. Where is the settings that controls it?
3) In the cube settings, it can set maximum and minimum processes, is this the same as the number of CPU processor? I guess it is not, but what is the processor stands for then?
4) I read some article about set the READCACHESize in cer2.ini file, but I can not find the file in our Cognos server, is this applied to 7.3 as well?

Thanks,
Fshguo.
