Overview:

Fonts used in Cognos (by Default)

Some font sets are quite large and can take a good bit of time to load. This is a tip from cognos:
Change the default font from Andale WT Unicode (International characters size of 26 Mb) to a light-weight font such as Arial (100 Kb). This change will improve PDF rendering time. (However it may effect your ability to render all character sets: My note not Cognos's)

Changing the Default Font
 

Cognos ReportNet ships with the Andale WT font embedded in the product in order to ensure that the product can render all supported languages. The drawback is that the Andale font is 20M size. There is an additional cost for each report processed as well as, performance tradeoff..

To resolve this select the lightest font that can support the (client’s) application language requirements. The Arial font is only 100Kb in size .

To change the default font in ReportNet take the following steps.

• Open the Cognos Configuration.
• Click on Environment Group.
• In the Properties Pane, Modify the value of the default font to Arial, you have to type this in!
• Save the configuration.
• Restart ReportNet service.

Processing Capacity

If in a ReportNet environment there is more than one dispatcher, you can specify the proportion of requests that each dispatcher handles via the processing capacity setting. The capacity for a dispatcher should be set based on the number of CPUs and the CPU speed in comparison to other dispatchers in a given environment..

Example:

Assuming all other factors are equal, a first dispatcher is installed on a 2 CPU computer and a second dispatcher on a 4 CPU computer. The processing capacity of the first dispatcher is set to 1.0 and the second to 2.0. The second dispatcher handles two-thirds of the requests while the second handles one-third of the requests. If the capacity of both dispatchers is set to 1.0, requests are sent to each dispatcher in an equal fashion..

The default processing capacity for each dispatcher is 1.0.
