  2. On the IBM Cognos Administration page, click the Configuration tab, select the COSTPOINT check box, and click Dispatchers and Services.
  3. Click the link for the dispatcher you want to configure.
  4. Select ContentManagerService from the list of objects to configure.
  5. Under the Actions column, click the Set properties button.

  10. Under Value, enter the file system location where you want to store report outputs (for example, C:\Output).
    Note: This will not work if you specify a UNC name. If you must specify a network location, use a mapped drive from the local machine.
