Cognos 10 and 8 Installations on the same server

[rajua99]

Hello,

Can we install Both COGNOS 8 and COGNOS 10 on the same server and run both versions concurrently at the same time.

Thanks,
Raju

Hi Raju

Yeap sure can.  As long as you have the available resources and
1.  Increment the dispatcher port, e.g. 9300 (c8), 9400 (c10)
2.  Increment the logging port, e.g. 9362 (c8), 9462 (c10)
3.  Increment the shut down port, e.g. 9399 (c8), 9499 (c10)

Make sure to use a different schema for the Content store for enterprise versions of Databases
If you are using the Derby database make sure to increment the tomcat port number between c8 and c10

Also it would be a good idea to keep the web server application pools separate.

Hope this helps
Cheers
