Title: Configuring cognos with Websphere Application Server
Post by: Galaxy on 13 Jul 2011 10:18:49 PM
Hi All,

Presently my Cognos  BI has been configured to run on Apache http server.   and i use
http://localhost/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi   (http://localhost/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi)     this link to access my congos on net.

I am thinking to migrate from Apache server to WAS or WPS for my Cognos BI.
But which is the best server for cognos work? is it Websphere Application Server (WAS) or Websphere Portal Server (WPS) . Considering Cognos to work on cognos SDK, Authentication, SSO, LDAP etc.

I have this link for configuring Cognos on WAS

http://cogserver.blogspot.com/2011/02/deploying-ibm-cognos-101-on-ibm.html

Is this the right way ? Are there any supporting documents or procedure to configure WAS or WPS ?

Appreciate if any one share the best practices for this topic.

    Thanks
