Enable Windchill to Pass User’s Cognos Namespace
To enable Windchill to explicitly pass the user’s Cognos namespace, set the following properties in the wt.properties file using the xconf manager:
• wt.cognos.explicitNamespace.enabled - When this property is set to TRUE, Windchill attempts to determine the Cognos namespace of the current user, and explicitly pass that namespace as a URL parameter when a Windchill Business Reporting report is executed from within Windchill. If the namespace cannot be determined, then the standard namespace drop-down list is presented, as described above. Setting this property to FALSE (the default) reverts to the drop-down list behavior.
• wt.cognos.startup.location - Set this property value to the file path location of the cogstartup.xml Cognos configuration file. If your Windchill solution and the WBR Gateway Server are installed on the same machine, then the property value can be set to:
$wt.cognos.home\\configuration\\cogstartup.xml
If your Windchill solution and WBR Gateway Server are installed on different machines, then the file may need to be copied to an accessible location or the directory it is in may need to be shared to make the file available.
