Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server versus Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server fixpack 3

[sanchoniathon]

Hello to all,

1- We know that the 10.2.2 version of Cognos BI server is available BUT we we need to install "Cognos 10.1.1 Bi server" on a windows 2008 R2 server for now.

3- We have a folder named "Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server" as well as another named "Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server fixpack 3"

3- I dont seem to find any documentation in the folder Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server fixpack 3 but i was going to FIRST start the executable installation
file located under the "Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server" folder and then start the executable file under the "Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server fixpack 3"
in order to be up to date with the 10.1.1
version of IBM Cognos server.


QUESTION: Is that the correct order to proceed or i could from scratch simply start the executable installation file under the
"Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server fixpack 3" folder ?


Thanks !

Hi,

You need to install the core product first, and I assume your "Cognos 10.1.1 x32 BI Server" is this. Once this is complete (and configured) you need to install the Fix Pack over the top of it.

Is there a reason you are using the 32-bit install? There is a 64 bit install for 10.1.1 BI server - you might be better off using this from the outset. You'd then need the 64-bit fix pack for it (although your FM install would still be 32-bit so you'd need the 32-bit fix pack in order to patch this).

Cheers!

MF.
