Product:
Cognos Analytics 11.1.7
Microsoft Windows 2019 server

Issue:

I have installed all of cognos on the windows server, but only want it to act as Content Manager, in a multi server setup. What service should be running?

Solution:

Go into Cognos Configuration on your CM server.

Set all to False, except this services:

Content Manager service enabled?
Event management service enabled?
Job service enabled?
Metadata service enabled?
Monitor service enabled?

Save the configuration and restart all your CA11 servers.

Schedule jobs in CA11 is handled by the Monitor service.
