Title: Working in two environments with same analyst
Post by: Matya on 24 Aug 2009 08:52:17 AM
Hi All!

I want to work in two environments(product and develop) with one analyst software.
I know, if I change the filsys.ini file location in analyst->tools->options->.... , but I don't like this solution.
I want to make a batch file, but I don't know which cognos file contains the path of filesys.ini.
Which cognos file read the analyst when starting to know the filesys.ini location?

I hope sy can help me.

Thx,
Matya

Hi,
I use different solution for this issue:
I have configured filesys.ini stored on planning server (in shared location) - one filesys.ini on dev server and another one on production server. These are my default filesys.ini files.

Then I have configured path to filesys.ini in CAC > Tools > Update filesys.ini options (Allow use of non-default filesys.ini is not selected).

If you use this set up, all you need to do when you want to switch from DEV to PROD environment vice versa is:
- replace the Gateway path in Cognos Configuration and save settings on client computer.
