Cognos 10.1.1 Business Intelligence

The Cognos® Reporting component does not ship with security enabled. Cognos Connection should be used to enable security for these components.

Implementations must use the IBM® Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation Authentication Mechanism to authenticate users for viewing reports.

The database for content store for Oracle must have either UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding. For more information about creating the database for content store, see the Upgrade Cognos documentation.

You can copy the Oracle thin driver to <COGNOS_HOME>/webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF. For more information about database drivers, see the Cognos documentation.

For DB2 related configuration, see the Database documentation.

Since Cognos 10.1.1 cannot access the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/ folder, you can include the connectivity information for the IBM Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation in the <ANALYTICS_HOME>/bin/analytics.properties file.

Note: To execute reports successfully, ensure that you set the Enable CAF validation? flag to False, in the Cognos Configurator.
