Title: Can we access Cognos from Mac?
Post by: cognostechie on 21 May 2014 03:22:26 PM
Not sure where to post this question so posting it here -

One user has a Mackintosh laptop and he needs to access Cognos. The document does not mention Mac as a supported environment.
Is it possible to access it from Mac ? He does have Firefox and Chrome.

Thanks

According to the Supported Environments page, Apple Safari (5.0 and 6.0) is a supported browser:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/prodguid/v1r0/clarity-reports/report/html/prereqsForProduct?deliverableId=1330380859450

So is Google Chrome (32) and Mozilla Firefox (ESR 24).

It should just be a browser conformance question rather than a platform question, unless you are intending to install client tools like Framework Manager or Cube Designer.

Cheers!

He needs to only go to the portal, no client tools required.

Thanks MFGF ! Appreciate it !
