Where does Cognos Connection gets the URL for the Controller Links?

Troubleshooting


Problem

User launches Cognos Connection . User sees a link "Consolidate my financial information". By design, if the user clicks this link, Controller will launch. Alternatively, if the user opens the main portal (by clicking on 'IBM Content'), they can launch Controller by clicking on 'Launch' then 'Controller'. However, where does Cognos Connection gets the URL for the Controller Links? In other words, how does the Cognos Connection portal know where to launch Controller from?
