Title: Adding Skins To Cognos Application Server
Post by: fry on 21 Jan 2014 04:27:46 PM

Hello

I am working on a requirement to bypass the gateway and use the application server.

This issue is we require the skins just like in the gateway environment. How can I achieve this ?

Thanks
Fry

Why would you want to hit the dispatcher without the gateway? If you just want to display the report without going through Cognos Connection first, there are multiple ways to do that - use a direct 'action' URL, portlets for WebSphere, web parts for SharePoint, etc. If you want different rendering, you can create your own skins that can be used within the standard Cognos environment.

What are you trying to accomplish by hitting the dispatcher directly?

Thanks for the link.....I will try copying the files over to the webapps/p2pd.

The users require this, as their webserver is single sign and most users are authenticating using ADF.

On the other hand they have a few users who still need the Cognos prompt. For this we were thinking of doing it via the app server.

Thanks Guys !! :D
