Multiple 64 bit Cognos Environments/Installations in one Linux Box

[CoolP]

Hi,

Can we have all the Development Environment cognos(64 bit) components( Gateway, App Tier, content manager) and the Test Environment cognos(64 bit) components( Gateway, App Tier, content manager) on a single Linux Box?


Thanks

Yes. You will need to install Dev and Test into different folders, and you will need to use different port numbers for each (plus a different content store database for each and different virtual directories in the web server for each) but you can do this all on one server. It will need to be a supported version of Linux too (SUSE or Red Hat). See the supported environments page here:

Elaborating on MF's port comment.

Always check your server with a "netstat" prior to selecting ports to make sure they are not in use by other applications/Services.

Make sure you change all the 3 ports for each install of each tier.
Dispatcher Port (default 9300)
Logging Port (default 9362)
Shutdown Port (default 9399)


Ex:
Install 1 - Content Manager Ports - leave all default
Install 1 - AppTier Ports - Disp 9301, Log 9363, shutdown 9398
Install 1 - gw - nothing to change (No tomcat)

Install 2 - Content Manager Ports - Disp 9200, Log 9263, shutdown 9298
Install 2 - AppTier Ports - Disp 9201, Log 9263, shutdown 9298
Install 2 - gw - nothing to change (No tomcat)
