Cogtr.xml File Settings - IBM Cognos User Manual

cogtr.xml File Settings

The Cognos Transformer global preference and processing settings can be specified
in the cogtr.xml file or one of the other files that are referenced by it.
Although you can open and manually edit this file, whenever possible, we
recommend that you make your change in the Cognos Transformer Preferences
property sheet of the (File menu).
The cogtr.xml file is not installed by default, but created on the first use of, and
exit from, Cognos Transformer. The file is placed in the installation_location/
configuration directory. A sample cogtr.xml.sample file is installed in the
installation_location/configuration directory. This sample file shows the most
common preference settings and can be used as a reference when updating the
cogtr.xml file.
Note: When Cognos Transformer is installed on Windows Vista, if you do not run
Cognos Transformer as an administrator and you make changes to the cogtr.xml
