This is used to establish a local-global principle and to develop a notion of stratification, for $\sfT$ and the cohomological functors on it, analogous to such concepts for compactly generated triangulated categories. \end{abstract} \keywords{cohomological functor, local cohomology, local-global principle, support} \subjclass[2010]{18E30 (primary), 13D45, 16E35, 20J06} \thanks{Version from May 7, 2013.\\ The authors are grateful to MSRI at Berkeley for support while this work was in progress.
