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.
