Hiding UI elements such as toolbar buttons allows
you to declutter the UI, but hiding alone will not disable the functionality
behind the UI element.
For security reasons, if you
want to hide the new URL button, it is best to disable it. Doing so
hides the button, but more importantly, eliminates the possibility
of someone adding an undesirable URL.
Procedure
- Stop the IBM® Cognos® service.
- Open the c10_location/templates/ps/portal/system.xml
file in an XML or text editor.
- Add the following parameter:
<param
name="disableURLObjectCreation">true</param>
- Save the system.xml file.
- Restart the IBM Cognos service.
The
new URL toolbar button is removed, the URL field on the object creation
wizard is disabled, and all URL object creation requests on the server
handler will be ignored.
