In the task manager of Cognos Server You will find two main processes, "cgsLauncher" and "cogbootstrapservice" - and java of-course - meaning, if you kill any
of these processes the cognos application will go down. You will also find "CAM_LPSvr", which is related to the cognos authentication
with LDAP, one process for each authentication provider.
The dispatcher spawns “BIBusTKServerMain”
and “BmtMDProviderMain”, whenever it sends a request to the cognos server. If
you kill any of these processes, the report which was running will throw an
error. BIBusTKServerMain carries the
report result while BmtMDProviderMain is the process for the Metadata Service, which
handles metadata requests including lineage, queryMetadata, updateMetadata, and
testDataSourceConnection.
The gateway tier has no cognos process
running under it. In case you have a gateway component on separate machine, try
to open cognos configuration there, you will see that there is no start/stop service
button.
Also, whenever you run Cognos
Configuration, you will see the process “cogconfigw” in the backend.
Framework Manager, initiates “bmtui2”.

Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm about to configure the LDAP in my Cognos configuration. Cognos is installed in a Linux system. But any changes I'm making are not getting reflected in the cognos web page(Connection/Administration).
Another thing noticed is when the cognos services are stopped, the URL is unimpacted.
Checked out the running Cognos Processes using ps -ef | grep cognos.
It returned a various number of processes which are running for about 2 months. There were multiple instances of processes like cgsServer.sh, cogboostrapservice, etc.
Our assumption is that the Webservices is synced with one of these running cognos services.
I would like to know if there would be any impact to kill all these processes and restart cognos services?
