Create a dummy jar file in the Cognos Analytics installation
Note: This step is only required when using Cognos with InForm Version 6.3.0 and lower; it is not required for InForm 6.3.1 and higher.
- Navigate to cognosinstallDir/jre/lib/ext.
- Right click in the folder, and go to New > New Text Document.
The text file is given a default name of New Text Document and a default extension of .txt.
- Rename the file to bcprov-jdk14-145.jar.
The file extension must be .jar.
Note: This step is required as the Cognos Analytics Customization for InForm wizard has a dependency on the presence of the legacy Cognos file bcprov-jdk14-145.jar, which was removed in a previous version of Cognos. This dummy file is required in order for the wizard to finish successfully. If it is not present the wizard will fail.
