During non-business hours, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) refreshes data and may perform system maintenance.
You should not schedule or subscribe to a report during the times on this page, as the run may fail or not run at all.
Tip: As a suggestion, schedule or subscribe to reports after 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 is when OIT reserves to take Cognos Analytics Production offline for maintenance. OIT is not usually performing maintenance during these times.
When planned maintenance will result in an outage, OIT will email you ahead of time. You can also subscribe to Statuspage to receive service alerts for Cognos Analytics and other applications.
Users Affected | Schedule | Impact on Records |
All users | Sundays: 5 AM–Noon Weekdays: 5 AM–8 AM Saturdays: 3:30 AM–8 AM | While maintenance is being performed, reports or jobs scheduled during this window will fail or not run. |
Data Refresh Schedules
The following table lists the windows when OIT refreshes data sources used by Cognos Analytics Production. These occur regularly—OIT 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 in the report properties, on the Report tab under Source.

Why don't I see a data refresh schedule for my package?
Some packages are not refreshed because:
- they report directly against live Production data
- the data does not change, like historical data from legacy systems
See Package Data Sources & Refresh Schedules for details about a specific package.
