Hi!
I'm about to upgrade our Cognos test environment from 8.4 to 8.4.1. As we are running Planning as well, I'm a bit confused on which files I really need.
I have the 8.4.1 files for BI Server and are about to get the 8.4.1 files for Planning. But then I get confused over Fix Pack 2... Is this only for BI Server parts or is it applicable for Planning as well, or is it a separate FP for Planning?
I'm trying to find some documentation that separates each Cognos part from each other.. Any tips here?
Best regards
Johan
FP2 is for any machine where a BI component is installed (if you are doing one server, install it last after you install BI and Planning)
Also, to install 8.4.1, you have to uninstall 8.4 - I would also recommend deleting all the leftover folders (Program Files\Cognos) and if inclined, even sweep the registry to clear out old references.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I read somewhere that I need to uninstall the old version. Good thing I'm in the test environment, have taken snapshots of the servers...
So the file C8_BI_8_4_1_win32_FP002.tar.gz is for Cognos Planning 8.4.1 as well? Or is there a separate file for Planning? I know that Planning usually have its own FP file.
No FP for Planning has been released (so yes, that file is just BI)
