Cognos Configuration

[Pramod]

I have unstalled two cognos version .Cognos8.3 and cognos 8.4 Cognos8.3 is working fine but I cant start 8.4 due to the conflict in ports can anyone guide as to which port I should run cognos8.4

Hi Pramod

you can use any available (as in "not in use") port when running 2 instances. What I do when running a 2nd test instance is change the ports by pre-pending a 1. So my Dispatcher would use port 19300 for example.
Also, don't forget to modify the "shutdown port" and the "log port" (in Cognos configuration) in the same manner other wise you'll see some odd behavior ;-)

Hope  this helps

Like every other application, Cognos8 will not be able to bind to a port which is being used by some other application. Go through all the ports in the "Environment" and all the other sections and change the ports. Personally, I use the 93xx series for the 8.3 environment and 94xx series for my 8.4 environment.
