How to see which user is generating a query in Cognos Analytics

Question & Answer


Question

All SQL queries fired to our MS SQL Server are done under a single user. This means when there are queries generating a lot of load on the database server we can't trace this back to the actual Cognos user 'generating' this load. How can we setup our Cognos environment or database connectivity allowing us to tie these things together? Meaning in it's essence that we want to see which Cognos user is issuing what SQL queries in the database.
