Cognos 11.0.6 and SQL 2016 as Content Store

[gohabsgo]

Hey Folks,
Does anyone have any experience with an 11.0.6 install pointing to SQL 2016 as the content store and / or reporting database?  We're about to start a project of upgrading our SQL servers and just wanted to see if there was any special considerations to be aware of from anyone that's been down the road already.

Thanks!

Hi,

It's on the list of supported content servers for 11.0.4 onwards, so as long as you are on release 4 or later, there shouldn't be any issues. Having said that, I haven't actually tried with SQL Server 2016, as I don't have it. :)

No specific consideration/ configuration changes needed. Our content store and reporting database is SQL Server 2016. No issues noticed thus far.
