Is anyone aware of any documentation that describes the various phases of execution when using the "IBM Cognos BI Reporting - Content Manager" bridge? My current client is seeing long time gaps while the encoding, decoding, creation of hub file and import are occurring, and wants some unde...

No, but why not check the source code of UtilityRunJob to see how it handles the argument string? That should determine whether it will do what you require out of the box. If it won't, it should not be a difficult modification, so you could use your own variant of UtilityRunJob.

Also, quite manifestly, you DO have at least some of KBA utilities.

Try putting -domain on the command line, even though it's in the credentials file.

will report whether the substring exists within the string. will report whether the first seven characters are "http://".
You may wish to check in addition for "https://".

I slept through all of that! (2:30am my time) :D

Yes there is (node pool), but why? Ultimately something else will run out of space if reading a Data Set is giving you space issues. You really need to sort out the space issues (allocate more disk space in the configuration file).

In fact, most of the executables for your parallel jobs are in /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/PXEngine/bin/ directory.

Selection is made on the basis of job type, as other posters have noted.

There is a time filter on the Search screen.

You couldn't (unless you created a couple of custom stage types and/or routines).

Can you report the actual syntax of the dsjob command used in the batch file?

Information Analyzer itself can build QETXT.INI. Unfortunately "they" have denied U that tool also.

Therefore my advice has to be "keep fighting".

Looks to me like you've missed the Engine Credentials step.

Having some knowledge of the site, I suspect it's not a case of "cannot" but "refusal".

Similarly, they maintain only a logical data model in ERwin (not a physical data model), claiming that approach to be more "rigorous".

The "what do you do when..." ones are the scariest!
