Cognos 8.4 integration with SAP Enterprise Portal

[fgarav]

Hi , does anyone know how to configure correctly the integration between Cognos and SAP EP?
I have followed the guide of IBM using Shared Secret method , but no success.
There is some kind of thing that don't understand because documentation is not clear about this.
First of all, on IBM Cognos Configurator under Portal Service there is some kind of property such :
WEB content URI : empty by default
Location of application.xml http://localhost:9300/samples/cps4/applications.xml
Trusted Signon Namespace ID : empty by default
Shared Secret: empty by default

What is the location of application.xml? i have try to search this file but i don't have found.
If this file is necessary what is the function and the location.
Another thing , reading the Administration and security guide , on Chapter 30: Deploying Cognos Portlets to Other Portals , they talking about "Before you start deploying the portlets, ensure that IBM Cognos 8, including IBM Cognos Connection
and Portal Services, is installed and configured"... so this create many confusion beacuse normaly this component is installed by default .... is it right ?


Any help is appreciate .

Regards
Fabio
