Change the Root Name of File Paths in Cognos Portlets

By default, the root name shown for all file paths in Cognos® portlets is Cognos. You can change the root name to another name, such as your company name, by modifying the cpsinavcrnmsgs_custom.properties file in the c10_location/webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF/classes directory. This changes the root name for the currently used content locale.

If you want to specify root names for different locales, you must create new properties files for the required locales in the c10_location/webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF/classes directory. For example, to specify root names for English, French, German, and Japanese locales, create the following properties files, and provide the root name value in each of them:

cpsinavcrnmsgs_custom_en.properties
cpsinavcrnmsgs_custom_fr.properties
cpsinavcrnmsgs_custom_de.properties
cpsinavcrnmsgs_custom_ja.properties

Procedure

Open the cpsinavcrnmsgs_custom.properties file in a text editor that supports UTF-8 encoding format.
The file is located in the c10_location/webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF/classes directory.
Change the value 0f the property nav.root.name as follows, where root_name represents the value you change:
```
nav.root.name=root_name
```
The default is:
```
nav.root.name=Cognos
```
Save the cpsinavcrnmsgs_custom.properties file.
If you want to specify root names for different locales, create the required properties files now.
Restart the IBM® Cognos server.
