Specify the Location of the Applications.xml FileIf you use the applications.xml file as part of a custom
application portlet, all Application Tier Components computers in
a distributed environment must reference the same applications.xml
file. If you have multiple instances of the applications.xml file,
they must be identical.
Note: The steps are required only if you want to use
the Extended Applications portlet, which is included with the IBM
Cognos 8 software development kit.
On the Application Tier Components computer, start IBM
Cognos Configuration.
In the Explorer window, under Environment,
click Portal Services.
In the Properties window, click the Value next
to Location of ’applications.xml’.
Replace localhost with a valid host name or IP address
and, if necessary, replace the default port number.
From the File menu, click Save.
You can now deploy the Cognos portlets to your portal
server. For instructions, see the Administration
and Security Guide.
