Using the Style Management Utility

The style management utility is a command line utility located on each IBM® Cognos® gateway. With this utility, you can create custom styles based on the predefined styles that can be used to change the appearance of IBM Cognos components.

Custom styles that you create and publish using the style management utility can be used as the basis for creating other custom styles.

For information about creating and deploying custom styles for IBM Cognos Connection and IBM Cognos Administration, see IBM Cognos Connection and IBM Cognos Administration. For information about creating and deploying custom styles for other components, see Report Studio, IBM Cognos Viewer, Query Studio, and Prompt Pages.

To run the style management utility, you must have a gateway installed and a dispatcher with a Presentation Service. Also, you must have permissions for the Style and portlets capability.
