Modifying Customer Overrides Properties

To launch reports using the Application Console, the following properties has to be specified in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/customer_overrides.properties file.

The Cognos® 10.1.1 BI URL format is:

http://<machinename>/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi

<machinename> should be replaced with the machine name or the IP address of the Cognos 10.1.1 installation machine.

For additional information about modifying the properties and the customer_overrides.properties file, see the Installing topic.

Note: DO NOT change the other parts of this URL. The IBM® Sterling Warehouse Management System Business Intelligence access from the IBM Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation may fail.
Note: By default, the following property is set in the yfs.properties_ynw_ext file:

yfs.analytics.reportnet.url=http://<machinename>/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi

This property can be commented out if it is set in the yfs.customeroverrides.properties file. When executing the Cognos reports, the application will consider the URL set in the customeroverrides.properties file.

You must also configure the yfs.analytics.namespace property in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/customer_overrides.properties file. This property indicates the namespace that is to be configured to authenticate users in Cognos 10.1.1 BI.
