Installing cognos mobile in distributed environment.

[saumil287]

Hi All,

cog version 10.2.1
We are planning to install cognos mobile on new and existing BI server environments as follows:

SERVER A: A new webserver will be created for installing cognos mobile rich client where cognos BI gateway will be installed.
SERVER B: A existing webserver where gateway is already installed.
SERVER C: where App server,content mgr and db2 as content store is installed.

The cognos mobile components are as follows:
1. IBM Cognos mobile service will be installed in SERVER C.
2. IBM Cognos mobile rich client will be install in SERVER A.

Two things I need to know is
1)Whether the content store is created automatically in existing db2 content store for cognos mobile?
2) I it possible to configure second(new) web server(SERVER A) with 1 app server(SERVER C)?



Thanks in advance

To answer your questions.
1. Yes, unless you specify a different DB for mobile in Cog Config it will use the CS. This is in the Mobile docs.
2. Yes, but there is no need. Mobile is pretty light weight. Why not just use existing gateway and App server?

Hi grim,

Thanks for your reply.

Our client wants a mobile gateway to be installed on new server which will contain other mobile applications.



Thanks again
