Cognos Planning 8.2 installed to Cognos 8.1 BI environment?

[jan.herout]

Have a nice day,

has anyone of you experiences with running Planning 82 with BI 81? Is it even possible/reasonable to install Planning 82 into Cognos BI 81 environment (ie. use Cognos Connection 81 as gateway, and use the same content store for both versions) ?

Thank you for advice!

Best regards,

Jan

Versions need to match if you are going to integrate at the software level:  8.2 Planning for 8.2 BI; 8.3 to 8.3.  I haven't tried 8.2 in 8.1 BI, but my expectation is that you will have problems getting it to work.  I think Planning 8.2 BI would apply some updates to the Content Store, and I'm not sure of the effect to 8.1 BI when that happens.

Yes Cognos EP 8.2 has new feauture that will intregrate EP and BI . There are some patches to be applied for BI before integrating EP . It shares a common gateway and content store . We are using BI patch level 136 with EP 8.2 , Its little tough to configure and make it working . But its good to have both integrated to make reporting easy from EP without framework manager .

Do I understand you correctly, that you are using EP 8.2 and BI 8.1, with common Gateway and Content Store (both 8.1 version)?

Where do I find documentation to the patch?

Thanks for the tip!

That's impossible.
