Installing the portlet applications file for Liferay Portal

Before Cognos® content can appear in any Liferay page, you must install the CognosBIPortlets.war portlet applications file that is located in the c10_location\cps\liferay\portlets directory.

This file contains the applications for the Cognos portlets, one for IBM® Cognos Navigator, IBM Cognos Search, and IBM Cognos Viewer, and one for IBM Cognos Extended Applications,

Before you begin

To install the portlet applications file, you must log on to the portal with administrator privileges, and be able to access the CognosBIPortlets.war file from your file system or network file system. If the Portal Services installation is not within your network access, you must manually move the CognosBIPortlets.war file to an accessible location.

The portlet applications file can be installed only once. However, it can be updated when required.
Note: The following procedure overwrites the CognosBIPortlets.war file that is deployed. Make sure that you deploy the correct file.
