1. Stop the Cognos service.
2. Open the installation_location/templates/ps/portal/system.xml file in an XML or text editor.
3. Use the following syntax in the <system> element to hide a user interface element:
<param name="ui_hide">
<!--list of user interface elements-->
</param>
For example, the following XML code hides the entire Cognos Connection header and the
New Job button in the toolbar:
<param name="ui_hide">
<CC_HEADER/>
<CC_TOOLBAR_BUTTONS_newjobDefinition/>
</param>
4. Restart the Cognos service.
