The Cognos_uninst_log.htm file records the activities that the Uninstall wizard performs while uninstalling files. Tip: To find the log file, look in the Temp directory. 3. Delete all temporary Internet files. For more information, see your Web browser documentation. Uninstalling does not remove any files that changed since the installation, such as configuration and user data files. Your installation location remains on your computer, and you retain these files until you delete them using Windows Explorer. Uninstall Framework Manager If you no longer require Framework Manager or if you are upgrading, uninstall it. If you install Framework Manager in the same location as ReportNet, the Framework Manager files are uninstalled when you uninstall ReportNet. We recommend that you close all programs before you uninstall Framework Manager. Otherwise, some files may not be removed. Steps 1. From the Start menu, click Programs, Cognos ReportNet, Uninstall Cognos ReportNet. The Uninstall wizard appears. Tip: Cognos ReportNet is the default name of the Program Folder that is created during installation. If you chose another name, go to that folder to find the program. 2.

Appendix A: Manually Configuring ReportNet The console attached to the UNIX computer on which you are installing ReportNet may not support a Java-based graphical user interface. You must ❑ manually change default configuration settings by editing the crnstartup.xml file, located in the crn_location/configuration directory ❑ manually change language or currency support, or locale mapping by editing the crnlocale.xml file, located in the crn_location/configuration directory ❑ apply the configuration and the locale settings to your computer by running Cognos Configuration in silent mode For all installations, some configuration tasks are required so that ReportNet works in your environment. If you distribute ReportNet components across several computers, the order in which you configure and start the computers is important. Other configuration tasks are optional and depend on your reporting environment. You can change the default behavior of ReportNet by editing the crnstartup.xml file to change property values. You can also use sample files that enable ReportNet to use resources that already exist in your environment. Manually Change Default Configuration Settings If the console attached to your UNIX computer does not support a Java-based graphical user interface, you must edit the crnstartup.xml to configure ReportNet to work in your reporting environment. Before you edit the crnstartup.xml file, ensure that you • make a backup copy • create the content store on an available computer in your network (p. 19) • review the configuration requirements for your installation type (p. 33) If you want ReportNet to use a resource, such as an authentication provider that already exists in your environment, you can add a component to your configuration. You do this by copying the required XML code from the sample files into the crnstartup.xml file and then edit the values to suit your environment. Important: By default, the crnstartup.xml file is encoded using UTF-8. When you save the crnstartup.xml file, ensure that you change the encoding of your user locale to match the encoding used. The encoding of your user locale is set by your environment variables. When you edit the crnstartup.xml file, remember that XML is case-sensitive. Case is important in all uses of text, including element and attribute labels, elements and values. Steps 1. Go to the crn_location/configuration directory. 2. Open the crnstartup.xml file in an editor. 3. Find the configuration setting you want to change by looking at the help and description comments that appear before the start tag of the elements. 4. Change the value of the element to suit your environment. Tip: Use the type attribute to help you determine the data type for the configuration property. 5. Repeat steps 3 to 4 until the configuration values are appropriate your environment 6. Save and close the file Installation and Configuration Guide 103
