PM34125: NEW SETTINGS FOR MAXIMUM SIZE OF AN UNCOMPRESSED EMAIL ATTACHMENT IN MB.

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• In Cognos 10 there are now five settings for various services
  for "Maximum size of an uncompressed email attachment in MB".
  The services in question are brs, rs, agent, delivery and
  powerplay. ????Looking for some information on how these
  settings are intended to work. Not much documentation on this
  (also see COGCQ00275947). In Cognos 8, it was just available on
  the delivery service and the purpose was clear. ????Results of a
  few tests with a large report (pdf comes to over 4mb):????If I
  set the BatchReportService to 0 and the Delivery Service to 3 it
  zips up the attachment ????properly (Batch Report)
             ??If I set the BatchReportService to 3 and the
  Delivery Service to 0 I get a 0 byte PDF                ????If I
  set the BatchReportService to 3 and the Delivery Service to 3 I
  get a 0 byte PDF????(zero means compression is disabled).??
                                                      ??Based on
  this, I would think that getting a 0 byte PDF is incorrect
  regardless of anything else (either compress or don't compress,
  don't send a 0 byte attachment). But, would like to understand
  what the intent here is and how you are supposed to configure
  these settings, how they are related, if any setting supersedes
  any other etc.
