Deploying Cognos Portlets to Liferay Portal

Before users can add Cognos® portlets to their portal pages, you must deploy the portlets to the portal server.

You can deploy the following IBM® Cognos Content portlets:

IBM Cognos Navigator
IBM Cognos Search
IBM Cognos Viewer
IBM Cognos Extended Applications

Before you begin

Before you deploy the portlets, ensure that IBM Cognos Business Intelligence, including IBM Cognos Connection and Portal Services, is installed and configured.

For the IBM Cognos Extended Applications portlet, IBM Cognos Software Development Kit must be installed. If IBM Cognos Software Development Kit is not installed or not available, the portal administrator should disable the IBM Cognos Extended Applications portlet after the portlet applications file is installed.

You must first log on to the portal with administrator privileges.

To deploy Cognos portlets you must:

Install the portlet applications file
Configure the portlet applications
Configure the portlet cache
Customize the content of Cognos portlets

After you deploy the portlets, you can configure security for your Liferay Portal environment. For more information, see Configuring Security for Portal Services.

For more information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide.

Note: The tasks may vary slightly for the different versions of Liferay Portal.
