Unlike routing keywords, the order in which the routing rules are listed affects how they are applied.

A rule is matched when properties associated with the package or the group or role involved in the request satisfy the criteria of the rule. The rules are evaluated in order until the first one is matched, and the request is routed to the server group named by the first rule that was matched. You can change the order of the rules by clicking Modify the sequence.

Users must have at least traverse permissions for the parent entries of the entries they want to access. The parent entries include container objects such as folders, packages, groups, roles, and namespaces.

In IBM Cognos Analytics, when numerous schedules are added or updated, the content store database can lock if the schedules contain invalid data. If you experience this problem, you can set an advanced property that validates schedule properties and disables invalid schedules.

If the emf.schedule.validation.enabled property is set to true, schedule properties such as start date, end date, data types, and user account credentials are validated. Invalid schedules that are encountered are disabled, and details of the disabled schedules are logged in the log files.

The default for this property is false. To enable schedule validation, set the property to true.
