During non-business hours, CIS refreshes data and may perform system maintenance.

You should not schedule or subscribe to a report during the times listed on this page, as the run may be terminated, fail, not run at all, or the data may be unreliable.

Tip: As a best practice recommendation, schedule or subscribe to reports at 8:00 AM to avoid the data refresh schedules and maintenance windows. Your reports will likely be ready for you when you start your day at 8:30 AM.

Maintenance Window

This window is when CIS reserves to take Cognos Analytics Production offline for maintenance. CIS is not usually performing maintenance during these times.

When planned maintenance will result in a Cognos Analytics outage, CIS will email you ahead of time.

Data Refresh Schedules

These schedules are when CIS refreshes data sources used by Cognos Analytics. These occur regularly—CIS will not notify you each time they run. 

Use the table below to determine when to avoid scheduling reports to run for the package(s) you report against.

Tip: You can determine what package your report uses by viewing the properties of the entry.

This replication schedule will not adversely affect scheduled reports and can be ignored when you specify a schedule run time.

These packages contains a folder (named Banner (real-time) data) of specific ODS data items that are updated from Banner every 30 minutes. This allows for more current "real-time" reporting than using data refreshed only once nightly.

Real-time reporting is accomplished through something called materialized views for replication. CIS refreshes this content via an Application Manager chain named PODS_REFRESH_STAGING_MVS.
