Starting the Cognos Configuration GUI

You can use the IBM® Cognos® Configuration GUI to configure Cognos Analytics reporting tool components. For example, you can configure an archive location for the output of reports, and configure a connection between the Cognos Analytics reporting tool and an SMTP server.

To start Cognos Configuration GUI, follow the instructions for your operating system:

Windows™

Click Start > IBM Cognos Configuration.

Alternatively, run the cogconfig.bat file in the cognos_analytics_install_directory\bin64 directory.

AIX® or Linux®

Log on to a graphical session, and then run the following commands:

cd cognos_analytics_install_directory/bin64/
. /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
./cogconfig.sh

Note the space between the . and the / in the second command.
