Installation of cognos metric manager 2.2

[cogdev8]

Hello Everyone
     I am trying to learn metric manager and i tried installing and configuring. I was not successful. Can someone help me by providing step by step process in installing metric manager on windows xp and sql server 2005.

Thanks
:) :) :)

haven't tried really on 8.2, but with the new 8.3 using SQL Server 2005 failed with using it as the database for the Metrics Store. Installing SQL Server 2000 worked at once though.
Sympthom with 2005: Named pipe connection errors in the logging, while using TCP/IP and remote access enabled. Datasource in Cognos connection tested fine as well. Looks like the service tries to connect differently then defined in the connection definition. Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

Hello

i'm under MModeling 8.2 (client : xp, server : Win2003) with cmmstore under sql server 2005 patch2, no problem.

You'll find everyhting you need into the installation pack for metric server 8.2 or later, available on cognos web site (section support), then, in the archive file go to the directory documentation and have a look on the file qrc_mm_inst.pdf.

regards,
