According to IBM's Supported Environments page, the latest server OS that DecisionStream 7.1 MR4 will run on is Windows Server 2003.

Looks like you would need to upgrade to Data Manager to get platform conformance for Windows Server 2008.

Yes - DecisionStream was renamed to Data Manager after the version you are using now.

There were a few functionality changes too - metadata deliveried to Cognos 7 were dropped, and delivery to Cognos 8 FM/Cognos 10 FM was added.

You'd need to update to a version of Data Manager to get the platform conformance you need.
