Cognos 10.2.1 Fix Pack Installation

[Fab91]

Hello everybody,

I have a question about the Cognos Fix Packs.
I work actualy with Cognos 10.2.1 without any FP update. I would like to know if I have to install all FP (there are 13) one by one or if it's possible to install only the last(s).

If I have to install all the FP, is it long to do that ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

They are cumulative, so FP13 contains everything from FP1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. You just need to install this, and not all the previous ones.

Make sure you patch any client machines running FM/Transformer/Cube Designer to the same FP too. You will need the 32-bit version of the fix pack for those.

Cheers!

Hi MFGF,

In this case, I will install only the FP13.
For the 32-bit version:
How I know that ?
Is it the the parameter : report server execution mode in the IBM Cognos configuration ?

No - the server you are patching is a 64-bit install, even if it has the report server execution mode set as 32-bit. This means you need the 64-bit fix pack 13 from Fixcentral to patch your server. However, any installs of Framework Manager, Transformer and Cube Designer you may have are all 32-bit installs. For these you will need to download the 32-bit fix pack 13 from Fixcentral and patch these using that.

Cheers!
