Content Manager, which can be installed in Tier 2 or 3 of Cognos 8, stores information in the content store. To allow fast retrieval, Content Manager builds an in-memory cache to service many requests. This ensures optimal performance and enhances scalability by limiting the number of database reads required to meet user requests.
In the single Content Manager process, multiple threads can concurrently service requests for content. Content Manager creates one or more threads for each user request. Performance depends on the power of the central processor unit (CPU) of the computer on which Content Manager is installed.
To increase scalability, use a larger computer capable of managing more concurrent request threads. When scaling up Content Manager, be sure to scale up the content store relational database management system so that it does not impede Content Manager performance.
