Configure Cobra to Support Additional User Fields

Use this procedure to configure Cobra to use additional user fields.

To configure Cobra to use additional user fields:

  1. Navigate to the Cobra folder and drill down to the Scripts\Create folder: <Cobra Installation Directory>\Scripts\<ServerType>Create.

    For example:

    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Deltek\Cobra\Scripts\SQLServer\Create (if you are using a Microsoft SQL Server database)
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Deltek\Cobra\Scripts\Oracle\Create (if you are using an Oracle database)
    Note: For client/server and n-tier deployments, you can find the script in the Cobra folder on the server.
  2. Locate the required script and run it manually.

    • If you are using a SQL Server database, locate Cobra_Enable_AdditionalUserFields_SqlServer.sql and run it using SQL Server Management Studio.
    • If you are using an Oracle database, locate Cobra_Enable_AdditionalUserFields_Oracle.sql and run it using the Oracle SQL Developer.
  3. Modify the length of the user fields.

    • If you are using a SQL Server database:

    • If you are using an Oracle database:

    Note: This step is optional.
  4. If you are running Cobra in an n-tier setup, you must restart the IdeaBlade service.

    Attention: For more information, see "Restart the Service in an N-Tier Environment" under the "Performance Tips" section in the Deltek Cobra Installation Guide.
  5. Launch Cobra.
