Table 1. Settings for the cpsalui.properties file Parameter
Value
cps_endpoint
The URL to connect to the Application Tier Components and extract the WSDL information.
Specify the URI to the gateway.
For a servlet or ISAPI gateway, replace the localhost/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi portion with the values to target the gateway.
For example,
http://host_name/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll/wsrp/cps4/portlets/[package]?wsdl&b_action=cps.wsdl
For instructions, see the topic about changing the gateway in the Installation and Configuration Guide.
forward_cookies=
The names of the cookie that should be sent to the Application Tier Components for single signon.
Leave blank.
cps_auth_secret
The shared secret code IBM® Cognos® uses to encrypt an HTTP header variable that carries the user identity.
This parameter represents the authorization secret that must be shared between the Cognos portlets and the IBM Cognos server. Consider this as a secret password. Use the same value that you used for Shared Secret in IBM Cognos Configuration.
For security reasons, specify a non-null value.
cps_auth_namespace
The namespace ID for the Custom Java Provider.
- Go to the c10_location/cps/oracle directory
and run the following build file:
- On computers running a UNIX or Linux operating system, build.sh
- On computers running a Microsoft Windows operating system, build.bat
This creates a cps-wci.war file in the c10_location/cps/oracle/gadgets directory.
- If IBM Cognos BI components are using the application
server provided with IBM Cognos BI,
- Stop IBM Cognos BI.
- Copy the cps-wci.war file to the c10_location/webapps directory.
- Start IBM Cognos BI.
- If IBM Cognos BI components are running under another
application server, copy the cps-wci.war file
to the application server.
For instructions, see the administration guide for your application server.
