Exclude the context ID for an agent from IBM WebSphere web service tasks

By default, when the agent service interacts with a web service, the context ID of the agent is included.

If you are running an agent that includes a web service task in IBM® WebSphere®, you should exclude this context ID to avoid a conflict with WebSphere's own context IDs.

Procedure

  1. Start IBM Cognos® Connection.
  2. In the upper-right corner, click Launch, IBM Cognos Administration.
  3. On the Configuration tab, click Dispatcher and Services.
  4. Click the dispatcher for which you want to change the agent service setting.

    You must change the setting on every agent service instance that you are running.

  5. Click the set properties button for the agent service.
  6. Click the Settings tab.
  7. For the Environment category, next to the Advanced Settings name, click the Edit link.
  8. Select Override the settings acquired from the parent entry checkbox, if available.
