Deploy IBM Cognos Web Parts

You deploy the Cognos® Web Parts to the Microsoft SharePoint portal server 2007 and 2010 by building and importing the SharePoint solution file. When installed, the solution file is located at c10-location\cps\sharepoint\solution\package\ibmcognos_webparts.wsp.

The solution file is pre-configured to point to the IBM® Cognos server using "localhost". It is best to rebuild the solution file using the IBM Cognos server host before importing it. If not, the IBM Cognos server must be updated in the Web Part catalog files, *Cognos*.dwp, are imported. The Web Part catalog files are typically located at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80.

The updated SharePoint solution file is created in c10-location\cps\sharepoint\solution\package.
