Configuring ICS Administration

ICS Administration is the sole location for application configuration and maintenance once all of the components and databases connections have been established, and the ICS Extension has been installed. Within ICS Administration, license keys will need to be entered for each of the ICS modules that have been purchased or are being trialed. It is recommended that a module be disabled once the trial is complete.

Validating the ICS plugin install

Step 1. Log in to the Cognos 11.0.x instance as an administrator Log in using administrator credentials.

Step 2. Enable ICS Modules After logging in, select Administration from the ICS slide-out and configure your ICS settings.
