hi all..
I got this software up and run well..
I install cognos 8.4 windows 32 bit in windows 2003 server 64bit.
my spec:
os->win server 2003 64bit
cognos-> server 32bit
computer name cognosdev
The step that I did :
1. Install cognos BI 8.4 server win 32bit
2. Install cognos BI8.4 modeling
3. Install and configure IIS
4. Test Cognos BI 8.4 (opened
http://localhost/cognos8)
5. Install cognos 8.4 fix pack 1
6. Setting JAVA_HOME at environment variable to c:\Program files <x86>\cognos\c8\bin\jre\1.5.0
7. Stop Cognos Service
8. Setting CAF at IBM Cognos Configuration
- Open IBM Cognos Configuration
- Choose cognos application firewall
- put mymachinename:80, exmp-> cognosdev:80
- save and run the cognos service
8. Setting WEB.GATEWAY
- go to localhost/cognos8
- cognos administration
- Click Configuration tab, Dispatchers and Services option and then
click the Set properties button
- Click the dispatcher name (cognosdev:9300/p2pd)
- search presentation service and click setting
- u will see advance setting and choose edit (in the right)
- plz checked the override so you can put WEB.GATEWAY_URI in
parameter and for the value put
Ex.
http://cognosdev:80/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi/gdb/cognos8/dashboard/html The first cognos8 is a virtual directory in IIS
The other one (the last cognos8) is context_root in dashboard.properties
(we will see dashboard.properties later)
- Check the box beside WEB_GATEWAY.URI
- click Ok
- clik edit again to check the WEB_GATEWAY.URI have a value
- IMPORTANT : MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE VALUE IN WEB_GATEWAY.URI
9. Install cognos go dashboard win 32bit
10. Install cognos go dashboard fixpack 1
11. Go to the <c8_path>/war/dashboard location
12. Open up the dashboard.properties and change setting
- I change the app_name from cognos to cognos8
- because context_root has a syntax context_root=/${app_name}
so context_root will have cognos8 as the value (don't change anything in context_root)
- change all localhost with your computer name
I change to cognosdev
- Save it.
13. open command window
14. Go to the <C8_PATH>/dashboard/bin
15. write service.bat install
(if the installation successfull you can see IBMCognos8GoDashboard in services)
16. write net start IBMCognos8GoDashboard
17. go to the tomcat with IE (
http://Localhost:9301)
- the port setting is in dashboard.properties so if you want change the port you must edit the dashboard.properties
- choose tomcat manager (user:system & password:manager)
18. click the cognos8 (wait and check,is it run well)
if run well you can go to next step but if wrong try to check dashboard.properties and stop go dashboard service
uninstall service.bat (service.bat uninstall -> write this in cmd like when we want install the service)
19. stop all cognos service
20. start all cognos service
hope can help you to install go dashboard..^^
