QA environment url:            itrutxxxxxs-qa .xxxxx.net/cognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi   

Gateway url:                       itrutxxxxxxs-qa.xxxx.net:808/cognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi

email a report link:              itrutxxxxxxxs-qa.xxxx.net:808/cognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi

Now I want email report link to be:  itrutxxxxxxxs-qa .xxxxx.net/cognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi (without port number)
How can i change the URL to come up without port number 808?

please help me out.
very urgent.

sir_jeroen

Why are you using 808 as HTTP port?

By default, the port is set to 80 for HTTP requests.
If you set it to 808 explicitly, it's understandable that Cognos adds 808 to the url because this is not conform the HTTP specs for internet URL's.

For example:
Everytime you type in http://www.cognoise.com the request is send to port 80 (by default), therefore you don't have to provide this port.
If Cognoise would be hosted on a server that's using port 808 for www.cognoise.com that you would have to provide this port in the url eg http://www.cognoise.com:808
