We looked at using MetaManager for retrieving deleted content with the Backup / Restore / Deploy module. Within Integrated Control Suite, there is also a tool for retrieving deleted content. It is called Integrated Recycle Bin. Much like a recycle bin that is utilized in many operating systems, Integrated Recycle Bin allows an end user to restore deleted content from the My Recycle Bin area of Cognos Connection. We looked briefly at the end user interface for this in Chapter 1, IBM Cognos Connection. With Integrated Recycle Bin, the Cognos administrator will also have an interface where they can restore content globally. As an administrator, one can say where to store deleted content, how often to purge deleted content, and view deleted content globally for all users or on an individual user basis.
Within the administration area of Integrated Recycle Bin, an administrator can restore deleted content or empty the recycle bin.
