- On the General tab, click View the search path, ID and URL.
- Note the value of the Default Action URL.
- In the IBM Intelligent Operations Center Solution Administration view, click , and copy the host name and the port number from the Value field.

About this task
The name of the reports theme is IOC Portal 8 Reports Theme and it contains two non-collapsible panes. The name of the reports portlet is ioc_ui_reports_portlet. You can use the reports theme to create a reports page and then position two reports portlets side by side in the reports page.
Because the preferences that you configure for a portlet are global, copy the reports portlet and then customize the copied reports portlet to display Cognos reports.
In the Portal Administration view, use the following procedure to create a reports page that contains up to two reports portlets. You can configure each reports portlet to contain up to three reports.
For more information about managing pages and portlets, see Creating or customizing a page, or the WebSphere® Portal Server product documentation.
