Removing HTML markup from RSS feed details

In IBM® Cognos® Workspace, a user can insert an RSS widget from the toolbox. After configuring the RSS feed, the RSS feed widget displays HTML markup when the feed details are enabled.

You can hide the HTML markup when the Show feed details option is enabled by specifying the advanced setting, CPSRssAllowUnsafeCharacters on the dispatcher. You must set the parameter for each dispatcher. For multiple dispatchers, you can set the parameter globally.

Procedure

  1. In IBM Cognos Administration, click Configuration > Dispatchers and Services.
  2. To specify the CPSRssAllowUnsafeCharacters setting for a single dispatcher, do the following:
    1. In the Name column, click a dispatcher, and click Set properties.
    2. Go to the PresentationService, and click Set properties.
    3. Click the Settings tab, and for Environment, Advanced settings, click Edit.
    4. Click Override the settings acquired from the parent entry. Now, go to step 4.
  3. To specify the CPSRssAllowUnsafeCharacters parameter globally, for multiple dispatchers, do the following:
    1. On the Configuration toolbar, click Set properties - Configuration.
    2. Click the Settings tab, and for Environment, Advanced settings, click Edit.
  4. In the Parameter field, type CPSRssAllowUnsafeCharacters, and in the Value field, type true.
  5. Click OK.

Results

HTML markup is not displayed in the RSS feed details.
