How to disable CMC/BI Launchpad in SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0?

The Central Management Console (CMC) and BI Launchpad (previously InfoView) web applications are now included within the BOE archive (BOE.war or BOE.ear). To disable the CMC/BI Launchpad web application, we can use the WDeploy tool.

CMC

To disable the CMC web application, use the -Ddisable_CmcApp=true switch when deploying BOE.war to the web applications server.

For example, the following command will deploy BOE.war to a Tomcat 6 web application server but disable the CMC:

wdeploy.bat tomcat6 -DAPP=BOE -Ddisable_CmcApp=true deploy

BILaunchpad

To disable the BILaunchpad web application, use the -Ddisable_InfoViewApp=true switch when deploying BOE.war to the web applications server.

For example, the following command will deploy BOE.war to a Tomcat 6 web application server but disable the BILaunchpad:

wdeploy.bat tomcat6 -DAPP=BOE -Ddisable_InfoViewApp=true deploy
