Hide the Unused Buttons on the Cognos Toolbar

About this task

If the IBM® Sterling Warehouse Management System Business Intelligence is installed on the same server on which Cognos® 10.1.1 BI is installed, by default, the Cognos toolbar will be displayed. To hide the unused buttons on the Cognos toolbar, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Set the <COGNOS_HOME> environment variable as the parent of the Cognos 10.1.1 BI installation directory, for example, if Cognos 10.1.1 BI is installed in the /usr/local/cognos/c10 directory, <COGNOS_HOME> must point to the /usr/local/cognos/c10 directory.
  2. Browse to the <YNW_ANALYTICS_HOME>/customs directory, open the custom_system.xml file, and uncomment the objects corresponding to the buttons that must be hidden on the Cognos toolbar.
  3. Run the ant -f ynwinstallanalytics.xml customizeview command from the <YNW_ANALYTICS_HOME>/bin folder.
    Note: If you want to display the hidden buttons, manually comment the corresponding object from the UI_OBJECTS parameter in the <COGNOS_HOME>/templates/ps/portal/system.xml file.
