Home Icon in Cognos Viewer

[BIsrik]

Hi,

I want to hide the home icon visible in cognos viewer. I don't want this change permanently, so not doing any change in system.xml file. Is this can be done by modifying the URL. I once saw in the supportlink that saying &ui = m1.m2.m3 will hide the some icons in the cognos connection page in version 1.1. I tried the same but it didn't work.

Please give me some ideas to this..

Hi Srik,

I have only ever done this my using the <RV_HEADER_MENU_home/> tag in System.xml.

Sorry.

is there any way to change the default URL of the home. I want to change the URL of the home to a custom URL.

You can try changing the system.xml in templates\ps

<!-- This is the default (and minimal) query string for launching Cognos Connection -->
   <param name="CCHome">b_action=xts.run&amp;m=portal/cc.xts</param>

but it is undocumented and I am not sure if it supports redirecting to an external URL. Perhaps you will have to combine it with bridge.xts.

No, the change should not permanent..i wanted for a particular report and for a session..like adding &ui.backURL = 'http:\\home.com' at the end of the custom URL will change the behaviour of return icon in cognos viewer for that report and session..i am trying to do the same for the home icon..

JavaScript. Just get collection of all images, find the home image, get it's parent and change the href.
