Setting up a link to InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard from the InfoSphere Information Server Launchpad

You can set up a link on the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server Launchpad that opens the IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard workspace.

About this task

Initially the InfoSphere Information Server Launchpad links to an InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard landing page that introduces InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard, provides informational resources, setup steps, and links to the sample reports in the documentation. After you set up a direct link, you can use it to go straight to the InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard workspace.

Procedure

Determine the Cognos URL for InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard by browsing to Public Folders ‎> Information Governance Dashboard ‎> Workspaces and selecting View the search path, ID and URL for the workspace 'Information Governance Dashboard'.
See Linking glossary objects in InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog to reports in InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard, Steps 1-3, for an example of how to obtain a URL for a Cognos report. You obtain the URL for a workspace in the same way.

Run the following iisAdmin command from the InformationServer\ASBServer\bin directory to update the InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard URL:

iisAdmin -set -key "com.ibm.iis.launchpad.application.IGD.url" -value "DASHBOARD_URL"

See the following InfoSphere Information Governance Dashboard example URL. Replace the localhost portion of the URL with the IP address of your Cognos server to ensure that you can access the URL remotely:

http://localhost:80/cognos10/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi?b_action=xts.run&m=portal/
main.xts&m_redirect_windowmode=2&m_redirect=%2fcognos10%2fcgi-bin%2fcognos.cgi%
