can't find GOSALES.zip after installing Cognos Analytics

[seth_chin@yahoo.com]

Hi,

I installed Cognos 11.0.5 using "Ready to Run" option.  I wanted to restore the backup files for sample database so I installed SQL Server and was going to do the restore, but I couldn't find the files GOSALES.zip and GOSALESDW.zip.   It doesn't look like these files were installed with the "Ready to Run" option.  Are these files on a separate installation?   Since I couldn't find the sample files, I tried to look for and download them online but couldn't find.  Can you let me know how I can get these files?

thanks
Seth

Hi,

Yes - the samples are a separate install. You're looking for:

IBM Cognos Analytics Samples 11.0.5.0 Microsoft Windows Multilingual (CNG2CML )
