Import the Cognos Portlet Package File

During the IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence installation, the Cognos portlet package file CognosOracleWCIPortletPackage.pte is installed as one of the WebCenter Interaction components.

This file contains Web services, the remote server, and the definitions of the Cognos portlets. For more information, see Deploying Cognos Portlets to Oracle WebCenter Interaction Portal 10.3.

When you import the Cognos portlet package file, you create one instance of a Cognos portlet server, and one instance of each portlet. The Cognos portlet server acts as a binding layer for the portlets. You can also supply your portal users with default portlets where the users can choose the content and layout.

Each portlet appears in a default state. The portlets do not contain any Cognos content, and the default access permissions are read and write for portal administrators, and read-only for portal users.

  1. At the top of your Oracle portal page, click Administration.
  2. Under Admin Objects Directory > Portal Resources, create a folder named IBM Cognos software.
  3. Click Select Utility and click Migration - Import.
  4. Select Folder Information, click Browse.
  5. Select the folder you created to store the new resources, and click OK.
