Hi everyone
11.1.7 FP3 is now available.
I am logged into IBM fixcentral to download the files and am hoping for some help identifying each download (I don't see descriptions for the files - odd).
The files include:
analytics-installer-2.2.2-win.exe -> This one is straightforward and I will need to download.
bitrsfrmr_win32_11.0.0.118_ml_tar.gz -> I am assuming this is framework manger, can anyone confirm?
caclient-11.1.7-2106251648.zip -> Guess I am rusty, not sure what this file is.
cajupyter-11.1.7-nnnnnnn -> We are not currently using jupyter so I will not need this one.
casrv-11.1.7-21062548-winx64h.zip -> This one I believe is the server including gateway and other components.
Also wondering about transformer which we are using. Does anyone know if there is an update for Transformer needed to move from 11.1.3 to 11.1.7 FP3.
Any advice is welcome, and thank-you in advance.

Hi,
analytics-installer-2.2.2-win.exe is the executable you need to run to do the install. It is just an installer shell.
bitrsfrmr_win32_11.0.0.118_ml_tar.gz is the self-contained install for Transformer. If you are building PowerCubes you need this, otherwise not.
caclient-11.1.7-2106251648.zip is the install media for the client tools such as Framework Manager.
cajupyter-11.1.7-nnnnnnn is the install for Jupyter Notebooks within CA
casrv-11.1.7-21062548-winx64h.zip is the install media for all the server components (gateway, application server, content manager etc)
The installer executable, client tools media and server components media are probably what you need here.
Cheers!

Subject: Requesting Cognos 11.1.7 VM Image for Personal Learning
Message:
Hi everyone,
I'm a learner looking to build hands-on skills with IBM Cognos Analytics and Framework Manager. Since IBM no longer provides a direct trial download with Framework Manager included, I'm searching for a pre-configured VirtualBox or VMware image that has:
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 (or similar)
Framework Manager installed and working
Sample database (like GO Sales or any other)
Ideally running on Windows Server or Linux
⚠️ This would be strictly for personal and educational purposes only — not for commercial use.
If anyone has a VM or can guide me to a trusted download source (even a private link or old community share), I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Kapil

Hi,
IBM doesn't offer any free demo install options these days. They do have an on-demand cloud offering with a free 30-day trial, but this will be the latest version (12.0.4), not 11.1.7.
https://www.ibm.com/products/cognos-analytics
That's probably the best you can do.
Cheers!
