2. Click the dispatcher name.
3. In the list of the dispatcher services, find the required service, and in the Actions column, click the Set properties icon .
4. Click the Settings tab.
   You can filter the list of settings by Category. The category choices are: All, Environment, Logging, and Tuning.
5. Define the setting in one of the following ways:
   • Find the setting that you want to customize, and type or select a value for the setting in the space provided.
   • If the setting is not listed, for Advanced settings, click the associated Edit link. In the page that is displayed, select the Override the settings acquired from the parent entry check box, and add the setting name and value.
6. Click OK.
7. To apply the values, stop and restart the IBM® Cognos® services. For more information, see the IBM Cognos Analytics Installation and Configuration Guide.
