How to set the web content expiry for Cognos Analytics with IBM HTTP Server or Apache HTTP Server?
Answer
In IBM HTTP Server and Apache HTTP Server, the expires_module adds response headers to requests that indicate to the browser how long it can hold the returned resource before checking for new versions.
Steps:
1. In the apache/conf directory, open the cognos.conf file in a text editor.
2. The following is the code snippet in the file which sets the expiry of webcontent:
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(jpe?g|png|gif|js|css|json|html|woff2?|template)$">
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 day"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
3. In the above code, the web content is set to expire after 1 day. This can be changed to a month/year as per the users requirement.
4. Restart the server.
