Enabling RSVP recordings for the whole system

RSVP recordings can be enabled for all users and all report executions.

About this task

Use the install_location\configuration\rsvpproperties.xml file to enable RSVP recordings for the whole system. The impact on the system performance will be significant. As an alternative, you can enable RSVP recordings for specific users.

Disable RSVP recordings as soon as your issue is resolved.

Procedure

From the Cognos Analytics install_location\configuration directory, open the rsvpproperties.xml.sample file.
Make a copy of this file, rename the copy to rsvpproperties.xml, and save it in the same location.

Note: If the rsvpproperties.xml file already exists in the install_location\configuration directory, you can use this file.
Open the rsvpproperties.xml file, and modify the following properties:
RecordingsEnabled
Uncomment this property, and set its value to 1:
```
<property>RecordingsEnabled</property>
  <value type="long">1</value>
```
The default value is 0.
RecordAsynch
Uncomment this property, and set its value to 1:
```
<property>RecordAsynch</property>
  <value type="long">1</value>
```
The default value is 0.
Save the rsvpproperties.xml file.
Restart the Cognos Analytics service.

Results

The RSVP recordings are written to the Cognos Analytics install_location\temp\rsvp directory.
