Built-in troubleshooting and testability
The System Architect Cognos Bridge provides configuration files for logging the operation and performance of the SASchemaGenerator and the SADataretreiver executables. The configuration file names and how to use them are provided below.
The SA Schema Generator configuration file
The configuration file for the SA Schema Generator application is SASchemaGenerator.exe.config, which is in the application folder (C:\Program Files\UNICOM Systems\System Architect Suite\SA-Cognos, by default).
The configurable keys are as follows:
<add key="Logging" value="" />
<add key="Performance" value="" />
<add key="Conf" value="" />
<add key="Locale" value="409" />
Configurable keys
Logging
This key is for logging SA Schema Generator operation. The value provided for this keyword should have a valid file name along with full path. SA Schema Generator logs all the operation to the file name specified as a value for it.
Performance
This key is for logging SA Schema Generator Performance operation. The value provided for this keyword should have a valid file name along with full path. SA Schema Generator logs the start and end time of each operation to the file name specified as a value for it.
Conf
This key is for configuring the path where the XML configuration file generated by the SA Schema generator is stored. By default the XML file generated is stored in the Conf folder of the SA Cognos installation location path. Therefore, the Conf key does not appear in the SASchemaGenerator.exe.config file. To specify an alternate folder, add the Conf key, as shown above, and enter the path and folder name you prefer in the value property. The alternate folder you specify must be an existing folder.
Locale
This key is for configuring the locale in which the SA Schema Generator should run. The default Locale value is 409, which is English. You can specify other languages as follows:
407 = German
411 = Japanese
40C = French
C0A = Spanish
In the above values, 0 is zero, not the letter O.
The SA Data Retriever configuration file
The configuration file for the SA Data Retriever application is SADataRetriever.exe.config, which is in the application folder (C:\Program Files\UNICOM Systems\System Architect Suite\SA-Cognos, by default).
The configurable keys are:
<add key="Logging" value="" />
<add key="Performance" value="" />
Configurable keys
Logging
This keyword is for logging SA Data Retriever operation. The value provided for this keyword should have a valid file name along with full path. SA Data Retriever logs all the operation to the file name specified as a value for it.
Performance
This keyword is for logging SA Data Retriever Performance operation. The value provided for this keyword must have a valid file name along with full path. SA Data Retriever logs the start and end time of each operation to the file name specified as a value for it.
