Use incremental deletion when deleting a project
|
When Cobra deletes a project it issues a single delete transaction for each table that contains the project’s data. For tables that contain a lot of data (such as the time-phase table) a single delete transaction can result in a transaction that is too large for the database’s rollback logs to accommodate.
This option instructs Cobra to use an incremental delete of project data, whereby Cobra will delete one control account’s worth of data at a time, resulting in multiple delete statements.
Using this option reduces the size of each delete transaction at the cost of increasing the time it takes to delete a project.

Debug Log
|
Use this group box to control the creation and contents of Cobra’s debug logs.
- Generate processlog.xml — Select this check box to send debug information to the Processlog.xml file when you run a process. Selecting this check box enables the
Include SQL Statements and
Include Cobra data check boxes.
- Include SQL Statements — Select this check box to log the SQL statements to a table in the database. The SQL calls are logged in the Processlog.xml file, which is located on the application server if you have an n-Tier installation setup and on the client server for other types of installation setup.
- If you have an n-Tier installation setup and running the BOS Service as the local system account, the Processlog.xml file is stored in C:\Deltek\Cobra\Logs.
- If the BOS Service is running under your account, the file is stored in the My Documents\Deltek\Cobra\Logs folder.
In a standalone or client/server installation, the file is created in the folder My Documents\Deltek\Cobra\Logs. In an n-Tier installation, the file is created in the My Documents\Deltek\Cobra\Logs folder of the user ID used to start the service.
- Include Cobra data — Select this check box if you want the raw data generated by processes to be included in the log.
- Clientdebuglog.xml
— Select the
Include SQL Statements check box to log the SQL statements to a table in the database.
