SYMPTOM:
Reports take an unusually long time to run and may eventually exceed the job time limit set in Strategy Intelligence Server. Users may see the following error messages both in Strategy Developer 10.x and in Strategy Web 10.x:

'Error: The job execution time limit set in Strategy Intelligence Server has been exceeded for job 85: at (1:23:56:968). The Job was cancelled'
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
When troubleshooting, users may set up to run Open Data Base Connectivity (ODBC) tracing on the Intelligence Server machine and may forget to stop the tracing and delete the trace file. The trace file can grow to a large size quickly and it is possible that this tracing slows down the machine.
ACTION:
In the control panel on the Intelligence Server machine, select the Data Source (ODBC) icon and choose the tracing tab. A dialog interface similar to the one below appears:

Because tracing is likely to be the cause of this issue, if users have the option to stop tracing they should select to stop it. In addition, if the log file is finished, it should be deleted from the system. If users are not using ODBC tracing, they should contact Strategy Technical Support.
