Where are the 11.1.4 installers?

Maybe I'm missing something...

I followed this process:
Go to Passport Advantage Online
Log in
Search for Cognos (since it's not listed in my entitlements ???)
Find IBM Cognos 11.1.4
Select my OS and language.
Open "Select individual files"

I see
    IBM Cognos Analytics Installer
    IBM Cognos Analytics Server
...but not...
    Framework Manager
    SDK

Are FM and SDK bundled with the server install now?
Do I need to select an OS other than mine to get the correct installers for my OS?

I'm so confused.

Hi Doug,

Since the version 11.1 release, the installs work differently than they did in 11.0. There is an installer executable, which is used for both server and client installs, and there are two main install bundles (zip files) for server and client, plus some other stuff for Jupyter Notebooks etc. When you run the executable it will ask you for the install bundle to use. The server bundles are platform-specific (ie you get one for Windows, one for Linux etc) but the client bundle is multi-platform. Are you seeing both server and client bundles when you look on PA?

Just as a sanity check: Have you used the following options in your "Find by brand" search:

Brand: Analytics - Platform
Family name: Cognos Analytics

If so, you should see lots of eAssemblies, one of which should be:

IBM Cognos Analytics Administrator 11.1.4 Microsoft Windows Multilingual eAssembly (CJ661ML)

When you expand this you should see:
IBM Cognos Analytics Server 11.1.4 Microsoft Windows Multilingual (CC470ML )
IBM Cognos Analytics Installer 2.0.191003 Microsoft Windows Multilingual (CC3L2ML )
IBM Cognos Analytics Client 11.1.4 Multiplatform Multilingual (CC3L3ML )
IBM Cognos Analytics for Jupyter Notebook 11.1.4 Linux x86-64 Multilingual (CC3L4ML )
IBM Cognos for Microsoft Office 11.0 Microsoft Windows 32bit Multilingual (CNPX0ML )
IBM Cognos for Microsoft Office 11.0 Microsoft Windows 64bit Multilingual (CNPX1ML )
IBM Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel 32-bit 2.0.8 Microsoft Windows Multilingual (CC2RXML )
IBM Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel 64-bit 2.0.8 Microsoft Windows Multilingual (CC2RYML )
IBM Cognos Transformer 11.0.0.68 Microsoft Windows Multilingual (CC3L6ML )

If you're having problems with the "Search by brand" option, you could perhaps try searching on the eAssembly number?

Cheers!

MF.
Meep!

Thanks.  I got to those files by searching a different way.  And now Passport Advantage Online is showing me yet a different set of options.  IBM must be mucking about with the site.

Ah good - glad you managed to find them. I suspect the 11.1.5 installs are now up too, or in the process of being added.

Cheers!

Right.  That's how I found out the site had changed again.  I'm moving forward with testing 11.1.5.  Thanks for the help.
