Disabling WebFOCUS Tools

By default, WebFOCUS Open Portal Services checks whether valid licenses are available for Power Painter and InfoAssist components. If valid licenses are found for these tools, then the corresponding entries are included as folder menu options and can be selected.

As an administrator, WebFOCUS Open Portal Services also provides you with the option to disable the selection of the following WebFOCUS tools by removing their entries from the folder menu options:

Perform the following steps to disable the WebFOCUS tools:

  1. Navigate to the following directory:
    \ibi\WebFOCUS77\worp\conf
  2. Open the bid-config.xml file in an editor.
  3. Locate the variables for the WebFOCUS tools. There is an enable variable for each WebFOCUS tool. For example, the following example shows the variable for the Advanced Graph Assistant tool:
    <internal-var name="enableAdvancedGraphAssistant" value="true"/>
  4. The default variable setting is set to enable the WebFOCUS tool (true). If you want to disable the tool, set the variable to false, as shown in the following example:
    <internal-var name="enableAdvancedGraphAssistant" value="false"/>
  5. After making changes to the bid-config.xml file, save the file, use the WebFOCUS Console to clear the memory cache, or restart the application.

    Note: Until this step is done, the changes are not effective.
