Enabling internal links in the reports

The HCL® Marketing Software application reports have standard links. To enable the links to work properly, you must configure the IBM Cognos® Application Firewall. You must also configure the redirect URL in the Cognos data model for the HCL Marketing Software application reports.

About this task

Note: This step is not necessary for eMessage reports.

To configure the redirect URL in the Cognos data model for the HCL Marketing Software application reports, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In Cognos Framework Manager, browse to the <productName>Model subdirectory that you copied into the Framework Manager directory structure. Select the .cpf file, for example CampaignModel.cpf.
  2. Select Parameter Maps > Environment.
  3. Right-click Environment and select Edit Definition.
  4. In the Redirect URL section, select the Value field. Edit the server name and port number so they are correct for the HCL Marketing Software suite but leave the rest of the URL intact. By convention, the host name includes the domain name.

    For example, for Campaign:

    http://serverX.ABCompany.com:7001/Campaign/redirectToSummary.do?external=true&

    For example, for Marketing Operations:

    http://serverX.ABCompany.com:7001/plan/callback.jsp?

  5. Save the model and publish the package by completing the following steps:
    1. From the navigation tree, expand the Packages node of the model.
    2. Right-click the package instance and select Publish Package.
