Exporting the Transformer configuration

Use IBM® Cognos® Configuration to export the configuration from one Transformer computer for use with all other Transformer computers.

Procedure

  1. In IBM Cognos Configuration, from the File menu, click Export as.
  2. If you want to export the current configuration to a different folder, in the Look in box, locate and open the folder.

    Ensure that the folder is protected from unauthorized or inappropriate access.

  3. In the File name box, type a name for the configuration file.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Rename the exported file to cogstartup.xml.
  6. Copy the exported cogstartup.xml file from the source computer to the same Web or LAN location as the Transformer installation file.
  7. If you changed the global configuration on the source computer, copy the coglocale.xml file from the source computer to the same Web or LAN location as the Transformer installation file.

    The default location of the coglocale.xml file is install_location/configuration.
