Configuring Controller Embedded Report Library

The IBM Controller Embedded Report Library supports viewing of the Controller predefined reports without the requirement for Cognos Analytics to be installed. Going forward, the IBM Controller Embedded Report is the only reporting library available with IBM Controller.

1. Open C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\ccr_64\ControllerProxyServe\Web.config and confirm that it contains the following line:

   <add key="ccrReports" value="http://[servername]:9082/fcm.reports/report" />

   Change the [servername] to include the FDQN of the application server.

   For example, the updated URL will look like

   <add key="ccrReports" value="http://myserver.example.com:9082/fcm.reports/report" />

2. Browse to the folder C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\ccr_64\fcmweb\wlp\etc\
3. Edit the file server.env:
   1. Add the following line:

      JAVA_HOME=C:/Program Files/IBM/cognos/ccr_64/fcmweb/jre

      Tip: This is the default JAVA_HOME location.
   2. Save the change.
4. Open Windows Service Control Manager, find the IBM Controller Reports service, and start it.
5. Verify that you can view reports using the Embedded Report Library:
   1. In Controller, click Maintain - Rights - Reports.
   2. Select the option Single User and then select the user ID ADM.
   3. Click Preview.
   The report opens in your Controller window.
